I’ve just completed a super-fun collab with DIY kit shop Wander & Hunt – and designed 2 special DIY projects just for them.
The first, the DIY Radiant Rhinestone Belt, was actually inspired by a rhinestone belt I spied on Anthropologie.com this past Winter, and figured it would be a snap to re-create. For $29 you get the ribbon base, felt for attaching the rhinestones, glue, a skewer, and an absolutely HUGE amount of rhinestones to deck out your waist embellishment. Gorgeous over a plain shirtdress or even a light coat, this will be an accessory you reach for again and again to dress up your outfits.

For the second project, the DIY Gem Pendant Necklace kit, I drew inspiration from a Dannijo bejeweled pendant I saw on Pinterest. Again, for just $29 you receive a bevy of gems, glue, a skewer, PVC plastic, endcaps, jump rings, and a rope for the necklace. The design is super-chic – and creates a fabulous statement!

You can also check out all the other DIY kits available at Wander & Hunt here (everything under $70!), as well as all the other supplies and materials that they offer. They have a ton of tutorials on the site as well, so you can get your DIY on without even buying a kit. Standard shipping is also free worldwide!
Thanks so much to the team at Wander & Hunt for making this happen! I had a blast designing these projects. 🙂
What do you guys think of these kits? Have you ever bought a DIY project kit – and was it worth it? Let me know in the comments!

Congrats. I’m sure plenty of people like to buy DIY kits because they like to make things but don’t want to buy all the extra supplies. I like the necklace the best and they would also make great gifts for teens. Good luck in your new venture, I’ve seen a few of these kits from other top bloggers so this is a high compliment to your creativity. By the way I think your tools for jewelry is my most repinned pin to date out of my boards. I now have around 300 since last mentioned combining repins and likes. Who would of thought? Pat
Thank you, @Pat Schwab! I appreciate it 🙂 I think with the kits the rhinestones are the best value, because they’re very hard to get in the States in large quantities and at the quality offered in the kits. Basically they all come from China and Hong Kong anyway, and are marked up extensively once they’re sold at retail here, so getting a huge amount of them in one of these kits is so useful and affordable! Thanks so much for pinning my jewelry tools graphic. I so appreciate your sharing!!
WOW, great projects!
I love bejeweled accesories, here’s proof: http://lilasirena.blogspot.mx/2013/09/diy-crystal-pendant-necklace.html
