My Summer Sunset Safety Pin Bracelet from Hannah’s Accessories. I rarely purchase jewelry, but when I saw my friend Hannah wearing a safety pin bracelet she had made similar to this blue one here, I actually commissioned her to make me one inspired by summer and sunsets - some of my favorite colors. I had already seen her huge bead collection: crazy beads that aren’t even made now and also tons of  Swarovski crystal beads, so I knew she’d come up with something beautiful. Anyway, long story short, this is my bracelet - well, a copy of mine - that she now has on her Etsy site HannahsAccessories here. *Also, I love that her boyfriend (who is also a friend) helps make the jewelry.

DIY Project Accessory Christina’s Swarovski Crystal Earrings - part of the winning look (the memorable bodysuit challenge). A DIY by Laura Bennett from Project Runway here. So easy it’s almost painful - still love going to the Project Accessory website to see up close and personal the looks here.

DIY Volcano! Swarovski Platform Pumps. I don’t know about you, but the glitter shoes I’ve seen don’t hold a candle to these - and granted these took about 40 hours and cost a lot more to make, but they are incredible! These are by griffinthecat at Craftster.org here. She also has a pair of equally stunning Swarovski crystal pumps at Craftster.org here. *There is no tutorial, but going through several pages of comments this is what I found out. The creator of these pumps wrote: I got the volcano rhinestones from Dreamtime Creations. (here). I did place each rhinestone with tweezers. They aren’t sealed, because that would dull the rhinestones.  But I did use GemTac, a rhinestone glue, as my adhesive.  It’s pretty strong. For these I used probably around 7000-7500 rhinestones.  I did the same shoe in a different color and it took 8000 rhinestones.  I did use slightly larger rhinestones on the volcanos, they they took slightly less.  question: Is the color gradation caused naturally by the volcano crystals and the light or did you have to place them to get that effect?  answer: The volcano rhinestones are special effect rhinestones.  So depending on the light angle, they are purple, pink, orange, yellow, lime or clear.  So, in short, it’s the rhinestones, but an ombre effect would be awesome!
