DIY Glitter Tiara Using Sugar Starch Tutorial
DIY Glitter Tiara Using Sugar Starch. I wish I had seen this when I did my crown/tiara roundup here, because I like the idea of using sugar starch (sugar and water) as a stiffener. Easy tutorial from Trinkets in Bloom here.

DIY Inspiration: Skeletor Belt by Delfina Delettrez. $3,996 and yes it’s sterling silver, but I knew I should have picked up some of those Dollar Store skeleton hands last year (and then spray painted them silver!). Filing under Halloween. From couturelab here.

The purpose of my blog has become to catalog unique crafts that I truly love and would do myself. I love the look of handmade crafts - handmade in a good way. My crafts tend to be doable and inexpensive - because I have either done them myself or intend on doing them. "Doable" doesn't mean "simple" crafts, but rather crafts that have tutorials that are clear and easy to understand. *I will never copy an entire tutorial from any blogger because that takes away page views from their site and 99.99% of the time it violates their copyright policy. I also will not reblog a post if the entire tutorial is published without the permission of the original blogger. I will cite, if known, sources for my posts because I believe in giving credit to the photographer/designer/blogger. Also, to act like something is your own idea, when it isn't, is just wrong.
