DIY Circle Skirt Tutorial

Project: DIY Circle Skirt Tutorial

Today, I’m going to teach you the tutorial I’ve been really excited about since the day I learned how to turn on my sewing machine! Circle skirts are one of my favoritest things ever (what girl doesn’t love to twirl?), so I was both happy and terrified to try my hand at making one. I went through many other projects first, biding my time and avoiding making a skirt that I was going to destroy with my lack of skills. I also assumed (incorrectly, might I add!) that all apparel, particularly the circle skirt, would be too hard for my beginner abilities. With summer just around the corner and a new wardrobe quite literally at my fingertips, I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. I’m so glad I did! Continue reading DIY Circle Skirt Tutorial

Nail Art: Katie Crafts Design!

If you’re reading this, I’m still in New Orleans! I come back tonight, though (womp womp!) In the meantime, here is a simple little design I made in honor of my Katie Crafts logo! It’s got the navy, it’s got the pink, it’s got the stacked hearts. Maybe next time I’ll add the “K”! 😉 Continue reading Nail Art: Katie Crafts Design!

DIY Turban Headband Tutorial

Project: DIY Turban Headband Tutorial

I love the look of turban headbands, but usually they are either WAY too large (Hello! I don’t want 100% of my hair covered or else I’d wear a hat!) OR they are WAY too expensive (Oh Anthropologie, you do it to me every time! $38 for one headband?! I just can’t.) I started searching and found many a tutorial on making your own. Some were great and some were, well, really hard to follow. I took pieces of several different tutorials and came up with my own, for a skinnier version of a turban headband! It isn’t perfect, but I really like how it turned out. Maybe you will too! Continue reading DIY Turban Headband Tutorial

DIY Knotted Headband Tutorial

Project: DIY Knotted Headband

I LOVE this headband! I have made several different colors of it already out of the t-shirt yarn that you already know I have a small obsession with (thumbs up for upcycling!) For awhile, I was just tying the ends to a hair tie, like I did in the no-sew version of my braided headband, but I recently bought some fold-over elastic and decided to add it in to the mix. I’m liking the way it came out! Continue reading DIY Knotted Headband Tutorial

Origami with the Husband: Ninja Star

Project: Origami Ninja Star Tutorial

Hey there! It’s me again, The Husband™! I’m back again with something new to talk about. Only this time you can’t eat what I’m cooking up, you might just put your eye out!

When I was younger (and in grade school), I would spend my time doing anything that gave me a reason to ignore my homework; video games, books and drawing to name a few. Occasionally I’d want to get a little more hands on, so I decided to get a little more mischievous — I learned how to make Origami Ninja Stars! As a bonus, when I was finished making them, I could throw them at my friends! Here’s how you can make your own! Continue reading Origami with the Husband: Ninja Star
