YAY!!! Oh happy day, it’s Friday I recently returned from CHA, and while I had a blast, I am so tired and still on west coast time I am definitely looking forward to some R&R this weekend. If you are in same mood I am, but still want to craft something over the weekend, may I recommend these FolkArt paintable earrings. I recently stumbled across this project from a blog called, My Sister’s Suitcase. I thought this was such a fun and simple to create project. Take any of your basic earrings, and take them from drab to fab in no time. To see how these were made click, here. Enjoy your weekend.
When it comes to jewelry I normally always tend to go for the overstated pieces. I know you should have a balance of classic pieces with over the top pieces, but in my opinion when it comes to jewelry, bigger is better! This is why I am so loving Plaid’s line of Dazzling Geodes. A hot trend in jewelry and fashion for that matter are, geodes. Previously the artsy type was generally the crowd that you would see wearing this trend, but now geodes are mainstream. What I love most about this line from Plaid, are that these pieces have a great mixture of texture and sparkle.
The geodes come in a variety of different colors. Create a huge statement cocktail ring, or a necklace. All the pieces in this line make for easy assembly to anything you desire to create. Wondering where you can find this fabulous line? This line is in stores now. Check out your local Joann Fabrics to see the full line there.
When it comes to jewelry, I don’t know any girl that doesn’t love it. Jewelry is a girl’s best friend, and can be worn in many different ways. Aside from receiving jewelry or buying it, I enjoy making jewelry from time to time. The best thing I love about making jewelry is that when someone asks you where you bought that, you become all warm and fuzzy inside, because you made it! I recently came across this DIY earring tutorial from, Think Crafts. I love this project especially, because I mainly prefer to wear post earrings, and it was made using FolkArt paint. These earrings are simple, yet flashy. Wear them paired with a cocktail dress, or with a cute top and jeans. See the video below for instructions to follow, and please check out Think Crafts for more great craft ideas.
If you want to do it on your own, here’s what you’ll need:
