DIY Leopard Painted Bag

I love the idea of painting a pattern or design over a bag, it’s a great way to personalize something that really is very personal. We carry our bags with us everyday and most of the time our bags have someone else’s initials or design all over them. While this project is definitely inspired by existing bags, it’s also a fun and simple way to personalize and make your bag your own. The soft fabric paints by Tulip are perfect for creating your own designs. So get your bag and let’s start painting!

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! 

Let's get started making our Glittered Cuff!

How to make A Stenciled Graffiti Shirt

Happy let's decorate a shirt day! I recently got some of Tulip's new stencils in the mail and I just could not wait to use them. They are all super cute! I thought since it's the summer time I would give you a craft that you could do alone or with your kids. You will be creating a unique shirt that will be one of a kind. The great thing about this craft is you can use whatever colors that tickle your belly with happiness.

How to make a Painted Canvas Tote

Welcome to SPRING crafting 101. Well let me be real with you. I am a bag addict and there is nothing more fulfilling than creating your own bag. It's sorta like you are your own personal designer. I will imagine this bag is going in some high end store like... Walmart. HEHE! 

I am totally in love with all of the neon crafts lately so I thought it was totally necessary to have a neon bag on my shoulder for the spring.

I know for some of my reader the leaves are changing, the air is getting colder or maybe you’ve already had your first snow. Well, here in LA we’re now only reaching a daily high of about 60 -65 which means it’s officially winter. Ok I’m exaggerating a little but it is time for me to put away the sandals and pull out the flats. Which reminds me, my current wardrobe is lacking in the flats department because last season I ruined my favorite pair.

Louboutin’s Candy studded flat.

This was actually the first pair of Loubous that I ever bought. I ate noodles for weeks to pay for them. I’ll spare you guys the gruesome picture of my flats in their current state, but just so you know there’s a whole in the bottom of one of the shoes. And I’ve already had them resoled twice .

Dum dum dum dummmm…Beads In A Bottle to the rescue! At last years Craft And Hobby Association Conference I stopped by the I Love To Create booth and was introduced to the Tulip’s Beads In A Bottle! (For those of you who don’t know, CHA is a convention where craft bands unveil their latest and greatest products for the new year. It’s serious business.)  A few months later they finally hit the shelves at Michael’s and I scooped up one in every color. I’ve been holding on to them all year, until now…

The Beads In A Bottle are amazing because after they dry they look like studs. Have you guys ever added studs to an article of clothing? I break out in a sweat! #TooMuchWork

I was trying to recreate the look of my precious Louboutin’s…

but ended up completely covered the toe and the heel of my flats with beads for an undated variation.

I’m so excited about my new “studded” flats!
