DIY Roundup 3 Favorites

Thank you all for submitting your projects into my last DIY Roundup!  I know I’m a little late in posting this…but I’ve had trouble staying on track with the ol’ bloggy blog while in Japan, what with the time difference, having to share the computer with 4 other people, and trying to deal with annoying JIS-standard keyboard, which had the apostrophe above the 7 key and the @ mark over on one of the brackets keys.  A very weird setup.

Regardless, I had a great time visiting all your blogs and checking out your pieces.  You’re all so creative!  Here are the top 3, as measured by user clicks:’

I love how incredibly sexy and tough this is.  And her tutorial is so detailed that anyone can make one for themselves!

Gorgeous!  The lavender canvas gives them this sweet girly vibe.  But holy heck, that’s a lot of tacks!

and, for the top slot, 

This is so incredibly like the original I had to look twice.  What a fabulous job!!

DIY Roundup 3

Well everybody, since I’m on the other side of the world I have no idea what time it is – but I have the feeling it’s time for another DIY Roundup!  First let me share with you a recent piece I made (tutorial coming soon).  It’s a cuff made of pleated trim and grosgrain ribbon – and it’s a cute little accessory that adds a touch of femnine whimsy to an otherwise plain outfit.

So now you get to share your own DIY’s!  If you have a DIY project or tutorial, please feel free to link below!  (However you can only link YOUR OWN PROJECT.  Please do not link others’ projects!)

I guess with summer in full swing everyone’s out and about, and not so able to get projects together.  I had hoped that this time we’d have even more projects to share with one another, but this time there were only 11.:-(

But in any case, I had a great time visiting all your blogs and checking out your pieces.  You’re all so creative!  Here are the top 3, as measured by user clicks:’

I swear, it looks JUST like ready-to-wear.  What a fabulous, chic job!

My first thought was “turtles?”  Then I see they’re the pendants at the bottom.  Very cool.

and, for the top slot, 

This is super-cute and I love the Victor/Victoria vibe.  She could totally sell these and rake in the cash!

Thank you to all of you who submitted your DIY projects in my first Thursday DIY Roundup!  I had so much fun visiting all your blogs and seeing the wonderful results of your creativity.  So, as for total views, out of the 21 projects posted here are the top 3:

Taking a classic jean from boring to babe with the addition of a cropped elastic hem.  Love it!

An intriguing title leads to a beautiful scarf gussied up with colorful embellishments.

and congratulations to AvidAccents, whose project had the most views from our readers!

Amazing that she made the flowers from cut soda cans.  Just…amazing!
