Bright & Colorful Tulle Skirt with Colorshot

I have wanted a tulle skirt for quite some time. But I ran into a few issues... either they were too expensive or not the color I was looking for. When Tulip Colorshot sprays came out I fell in love with the blue color and knew I wanted my very first tutu since I was in elementary school to be that very color! In the end my tulle skirt is pretty and colorful and just what I was hoping for!

Random Rainbow White Jeans with Color Shot!

 

Maybe it's because I was a kid in the 80's but I absolutely love white denim. You'd think I'd love acid wash jeans but I don't. Just no. I ordered a pair of white skinny jeans off of the internet and I wasn't quite as happy with them as I had thought I would be. Rather than return them I thought I'd DIY them and now I've got a pair of random rainbow white jeans that are pretty fab and totally one of a kind!

This project is so simple and so much fun and uses Tulip Color Shot. This stuff is amazing and one of my newest craft obsessions. I'm going to be painting up everything. Just you wait and see! But let's start with these fabulous technicolor trousers.

Zentangle® Sneakers

If you're crafty I'm sure you've heard of Zentangle®. I spent the longest time, and I do mean LONGEST trying to resist the doodling fad. But one day I decided to borrow a book from the library when I couldn't find anything else I wanted to take home. 

I got after it wit a piece of pink construction paper and my purple glitter pen. It looked like a tween was working it but it was so much fun. That was 1 week ago. And now I'm obsessed with two different notebooks and a good gazillion black markers to doodle my Zentangles® with. It seemed only  natural that I'd get after a pair of sneakers before too long. I held out 7 whole days!

Draw & Paint Panda Shoes

I love quirky and cute accessories, and I love how easy it is to personalize them with Tulip Fabric Markers and Fabric Paint. My son is a huge fan of pandas, so he inspired me to add some cute pandas to these inexpensive mary janes.

 

DIY Dot Patterned Sneakers

 

Some days you've got it and some days you don't These shoes weren't my first or even second attempt to get a very foggy idea I had come up with and decided I needed. Red, yellow, pink and black diamonds. 

My first effort was comical and looked circus ready. My second I ditched the color for all black and then realized that though neat looking, weren't what I was going for. Just like Goldilocks, the third try was just right!

 

Grab a pair of white sneakers and
your Tulip Fabric Markers and let's get to it!

Artisan Tie Dyed Hobo Bags

I have loved tie dye for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid my dad pulled over to buy my sister and me a tie dyed shirt out of a VW van. I still wear that tie dye today. As an adult I've not been deterred by tie dye at all. I LOVE it. The bright colors, the unexpected results all add up to one amazing way to pep up one's wardrobe. 

After meeting the guy who used to tour with The Dead (yep, The Grateful Dead) as their official tie dye artist and chatting up all things tie dye I learned to appreciate even more that this isn't just a crafty hobby, but an art form. The Artisan Tie Dye Kits from Tulip are perfect for professional, artistic results!

How To Make A Glittered Cuff

Hoodie HOO! Summer is still here but with school right around the corner I am going a little nuts! Those long summer days will get shorter and shorter and we might notice we will have less time to work on crafts. Today I will be showing you a craft that you can accomplish in a small amount of time! I loved making this cuff because it can be split up into parts allowing your kids to help out along the way. I let my son do the dots which made him feel involved and that is always good! I hope you enjoy it and remember the possibilities of designs are endless when decorating your personal cuff. The best part of today's tutorial is this amazing new product from Tulip!

12 Amazing Fabric Paint Projects

I've always love fabric paint because you can always make something fabulous with it at absolutely any painting skill level. So today I'm sharing with you some absolutely amazing projects to wear, to tote around or to decorate your home. Beginners more than welcome!

How To No Sew 4th of July bandana pocket

 

Lately I have noticed so many trendy stores selling shirts with contrasting "statement" pockets. I really like this trend!  I think it adds a fun pop of color and visually adds something a little interesting to what could potentially be a plain ol' boring tee shirt.  

Knot And Tie Galaxy Shirt Tutorial

Well howdy hoo little galaxy peeps! I am so excited to share today's post with you one because I love T-Shirts and two because I love tie dye.

Fine. There is a third one, I LOVE THE GALAXY (insert a LOUD yell here). It seems everywhere I go lately there are galaxy shoes, shirts, back packs, tights and undies! Does it take a special person to wear the UNIVERSE on them, hot diggity dog, NO! 

Today I will show you how to dye, cut and tie a shirt so let's get started!

Asymmetrical Off the Shoulder Galaxy Shirt Tutorial

This week has been chock full on firsts for me. I bought my very first dress form --> her name is Lola; she was a showgirl. I made my very first galaxy tee. And now I'm sharing my very first ever cut up tee tutorial. 

I LOVE cutting up tee shirts. It's amazing how something slouchy and unflattering can become something form fitting and chic. And I know some equate tee shirt makeover with skimpy but that just doesn't have to be the case. Though I tend to wear some off the wall things, I'm pretty conservative in my wardrobe tastes. As I was told very recently, "40 is the new 30 and you're dressing like you're 40, girl." And this shirt is totally made over but even an ultra conservative girl is gonna rock it even with some age appropriate bermuda shorts :)

Neon Doodle Flower Kicks

There are two projects I remember very, very well from art class as a kid. About 10 minutes into attempting lino block printing in the 6th grade and I was on my way to getting stitches. More fun, was the day we painted pieces of board a wild and whimsical pattern and then covered them with black crayon once dry. The black crayon was scratched away to unveil an awesome, almost tie dyed drawing. 

I was hooked and did this many, many times at home. To this day, I remember that as being one of my very favorite art projects that I ever was taught how to do. Today I'm mimicking the look on a pair of neon doodle flower kicks!

How to bleach and ombré denim

Summer time is a time of reawakening and relaxation, and what better way to relax than to reawaken a plain item of clothing with a burst of color! 

Ombré is here to stay, and if you think this trend is going anywhere, think again!

 Phillip Lim debuted a bunch of cool color blocked and ombre'd pieces in his men's line earlier this year at New York fashion week.

Check out my video to see the full tutorial and get some summer inspiration.

Jimmy Choo Copy Cat Sneaker Tutorial

I love having a ton of sneakers to choose from. They're comfy and if you have the perfect ones, you can even rock them with a dress! And while I love the look of designer sneakers, there's no way I'd ever be willing to pay $650 for a pair.

DIY - Faux Cross Stitched Shirt

I am so excited about this tutorial because I have never done any kind of cross stitching in my entire life. I know we can all shake our heads at me. I should be ashamed of myself, haha!  I like to figure out different ways to RE-CREATE things, so I thought it would be cool to show you a quick modern take on cross stitching. Don't worry, it's super easy and I know you will have fun with it.

P.S. I am doing a number in this tutorial however you can create any image you would like since the technique is mainly what I am showing you today.
