Yes, yes, there is only a small remnant from my old leather pants left, but this loop chain went out even more.
Today I’ll show you the basic instructions for this chain, whether if you leave the plain loop or spice it up somehow. On the bottom photo I provisionally fixed a couple of rhinestone studs, but I’m still not sure whether I should really let them off or not even take a few more rivets. But I will think about doing this after Christmas, when I have more time. For now, I think even the bow tie without rivets as necklace is very original. …read more

DIY Advent 14: Sequin Beret
This DIY guide shows you one of many possibilities to spice up a boring headdress. Usually it needs only a glance into the dark corners of your closet, where some non-worn pieces are just waiting to be re-discovered.

DIY Advent 13: Earrings with Tassels selfmade
After this DIY project, I had a piece of my black fringe curtain left and, as I am a world champion in recycling, I tinkered this tassel earrings from them. As I have already made 2 other pairs of earrings, I tried this time to make a bit longer version with pearls. I like them very well, I hope you, too. The guide is very easy in any case and the earrings are completed within a few minutes. …read more
