DIY No Sew Bathing Suit Cover Up. Made from a T Shirt. Really easy tutorial from Wobisobi here.
DIY Double Braids spotted. Mara Hoffman Swim 2012. From Honestly…WTF. I loved the double braids and gorgeous patterns from this collection. See more here. What Honestly…WTF are saying about the beautiful double braids:
You can do it yourself by parting your hair down the middle, creating a french braid on each side until they hit the base of the neck, and then switching to two fishtail braids. It’s an impressive and romantic do – perfect for summer!
Dislcaimer: I cannot do this. My hair isn’t quite long enough and it is so straight it barely holds a braid. But lovin’ the look.

Love how the hats are above the blue background.
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.
