DIY Polka-Dot Sneakers


{Polka-Dots are perfect for Spring}

While browsing Madewell's Spring Catalog the other day, I came across these killer Keds. Since I wanted just about everything in the catalog, my DIYing instincts "kicked" in!
As my husband would say "That's the HOTNESS." {That means he likes them} YES!!!!

You'll need:
  •  A Pair of inexpensive sneakers (I used these)
  • Permanent White Fabric Pen
{Yes, that's all folks}
It's okay, you can get excited!!!

DIY Elastic Headwrap



I will admit it, I totally made this by accident and I LOVE IT!!!!  I always use Goody Ouchless Elastics and I made the mistake of buying Goody Girls Ouchless Elastics, emphasis on “Girls!” I have longer hair and the “Girls” are far too tiny to hold all my hair.  So I decided to link them together and make an DIY Elastic Headwrap.
I do know one thing, these work perfectly for the gym!!!
(My beautiful hairstylist, Cassie-->Follow her on Instagram..birdy3183, all the cool kids do)

You'll need:
  • 11 Goody Girls Ouchless Elastics
  • A pair of scissors
*Supplies will vary depending on size.

Put all elastics in order. Cut the "lonely" elastic in half. (I cut on the connected area)

DIY Leather Wrap Flip-Flop



(Courtesy Of Honestly...WTF)
  I recently acquired a new addiction.........DIY Leather Wrap Bracelets. I found this amazing tutorial while browsing Honestly...WTF.

These bracelets are super fun, creative, and just plain AWESOME! I've made several in all sorts of different colors, giving them to my closest friends kind of as a thank you for "being you." I don't know about you but I'm filled with the most wonderful feeling seeing people I care about light up about something I made for them. 
So one day I'm driving in my car, sunroof open, the sun is shining, and I get a vision.

DIY Leather Wrap Flip-Flops.....PURE EXCITEMENT! Can you tell I'm totally ready for spring!
You'll need (measurements are for a ONE flip-flop)
  • A pair of inexpensive Flip-flops (I'm using Old Navy Faux-Leather Flip-Flop in Gold)
  • 60 inches* of waxed cotton cord
  • 12.5 inches* of brass ball chain or crystal chain
  • A pair of side cutters (to cut the metal brass chain and the cotton cord)
  • Super Glue (I prefer the super glue with the brush)
*Lengths will vary depending on the size of your sandal.
