DIY Beautiful Handpiece Tutorial from By Hand London here. Minimal tutorial but  look at the diagram and if you have basic jewelry skills this will be an easy project. Love the filigree charm on the bracelet and the bead on the ring. And again, thank you for not calling it a “slave bracelet” like this big blog did here. *For more handpiece jewelry posts go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/handpiece

DIY Metallic Galaxy Tee Shirt Tutorial from By Hand London here. This galaxy tee tutorial is a little different because it uses metallic colors and bleach - so a different type of galaxy emerges. For more galaxy tutorials go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/galaxy Also, I received a question about whether you could use bleach for a galaxy design using NYLON and did some research since I’ve only used cotton when dyeing. The answer is NO. What you can do and more info: You can use Rit Dye Color Remover instead here. The more scholarly article is here: www.pburch.net/dyeing/FAQ/nylon.shtml  RIt Dye has a page on what their dye will dye and won’t here:  http://www.ritdye.com/dyeing-techniques/tips-success It also states: about Nylon: To help achieve a more intense color, add 1 cup white vinegar to the dyebath, especially when dyeing in the washing machine. When dyeing smaller amounts of fabric using the bucket or stove-top method, add 1/2 cup white vinegar after the fabric has been in the dyebath for 5 minutes. Rit dyes nylon very easily and quickly. To avoid wrinkling, do not exceed a water temperature of 180º F. After dyeing, allow fabric to cool down before rinsing in cool water.
