DIY Advent 22: Leather Loop (Bow Tie) Necklace

Hint: This post you’ll find here.

DIY Advent 22: Leather Loop (Bow Tie) Necklace selfmade
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 19: Barcelet with Disco Balls Selfmade
This small disco balls I found in the Christmas department of an furniture shop. I thought they would be for hanging on the Christmas tree, but unfortunately the balls should be used as deco confetti. I noticed (usually) only when I was home. And as I do not need any deco confetti, I made with the disco balls this bracelet and another earrings. For me this was the better (and faster) way than to try to get cash in exchange from the harried sales clerks. …read more

DIY Advent 17: Bracelets from Plastic Bottles (PET)
Today I’ll show you how beautiful recycling can be. From plastic bottles (PET), some fabric and a little imagination you can tinker very pretty bracelets, which are also wonderful as a last minute own-Christmas present.
I made four different bracelets that you can use as inspiration. Elastic fabrics are the easiest to handle, as these are much more flexible. Solid fabrics should be at least twice as wide as the bracelet and be glued centered from the outside to the inside. …read more

DIY Advent 14: Pimp your beret with sequins
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. I’ve done it with an old beret, but it works with headdresses of all kinds. This DIY project should be best used as break filler during a television night (I sucessfully tried it by myself ). …read more

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
