Forgotten Trinkets

I was very inspired by the headdresses made by https://www.instagram.com/hysteriamac..., and Angela Clayton's Spiked Halo Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ7LQ.... I'm not 100% happy with the way mine turned out, the glass made it a little heavy, and the shape didn't turn out quite the way I hoped, but it was a fairly straight forward project. If you like the look I highly recommend giving it a try, the most expensive part was the spray paint at on sale for $3.99, everything else was either free, or something I already had.

In case you ever wanted to know how to make a wire hanger into a giant butterfly hair clip, here you go. If that doesn't seem like the most practical application of your time or of wire hangers, I hope you enjoy the video anyways :)

DIY Recycled Material Flower Hair Sticks

Recycling is cool yo! Do they still go on and on about recycling in elementary/primary school? I remember that being a big thing, which I think is good. It e...

Maybe not the most practical way to recycle a shampoo bottle...but points for originality?

Making Bronze Fan Clip-on Earrings

I spent over a hour trying to make a stop-motion animation for some clip-on earrings that took less than a minute to assemble...what is wrong with me? Neverm...

Yup...still suck at stop motion

Lazy Girl Tailoring

A quick walk through of how I modified my work vest to fit slightly better. I'm not a professional tailor. I'm mostly self taught when it comes to sewing, so...

Stop motion is hard, and I have far more makeup brushes than any reasonable human needs...why do I want more? 

I also have a needlessly lengthy review on these, if you're into that kinda thing...I won't judge

Shrinky Dinks and melancholy! Wooo!

There IS such a thing as too many fairy wings, but I’m not going to let that stop me. 

I have tutorials on how I made these wings and more here

Not exactly seasonally appropriate, but it takes me forever to finish any kind of knitting project, so whatever. This was last year’s attempt at making a hat inspired by those quirky ugly Christmas sweaters, but since theres no way I’d ever manage to finish knitting a whole sweater, I thought a hat was a more realistic project.

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it, but it certainly is “festive”. More pictures and info on how I made it here

My first attempt at making a video! Also my first attempt at using GarageBand...and it’s woefully awful (a school project, if you want to you can read more about it here) feel free to mute it, I do. Still, I think the video has the potential to be useful if you have any interest in turning coat hangers into fairy wings, so I thought I’d share it here.

Yoga shorts made from leftover fabric from my Kiki’s delivery service dress, complete with crappy mirror selfies (pardon my extremely dusty mirror). More pictures and a full written post here

Kiki’s Dress, I thought dyeing would be the easy part, I was wrong. More pictures and a full written post here

Kiki’s Bag, with a funky striped lining cause that was the fabric I happened to have at the time. Sometimes her bag is brownish tan, sometimes it’s kinda orangey. The faux suede I used was a little off in color, not not nearly as off as it looks in the pictures. Full written blogpost and more pictures here

Kind of regret not making them so that the birds would mirror each other, oh well.
