DIY Lace Choker Tutorial from Urban Threads here. I’ve written about Urban Threads before. They have cool inexpensive embroidery designs you can buy for hand or machine embroidery and stock art. But if you don’t have an expensive embroidery machine just go buy a piece of Battenburg lace from your fabric store or online (it’s often in the bridal section).

Tutorial for Layered Stamping Necklace. This is not a simple tutorial, but what is really interesting is that Desiree Bigard (who makes and sells Gothic, Victorian and fantasy peices at Peacock Tres Chic) glues all her manufactured brass and sterling plated brass stampings and filigree pieces together, and doesn’t solder them together. She also discusses her favorite glue etc… Tutorial at Peacock tres Chic here. A really good post about her work with more photos can be found at The Beading Gem’s Journal here.

Etsy Black Tulle Choker Collar - Lucy. From the Etsy Store of KarolinfelixDream here. I have said over and over again that I love tulle fabric - big impact and so inexpensive (although this collar is using superfine tulle - not the stuff I buy!).  I love these statement collars andposted tutorials about them here.

Embroidered Steampunk Lace-up Spats. Found at Urban Threads here. Buy them for around $16 at Fanplusfriend here. Sometimes it worth doing a DIY and I think this is one of those times it is not.
