Any person that has to put their hair up knows that bobby pins are not only a lifesaver, they’re basically a must have hair product. There’s two kinds of bobby pins, though – the ones that aren’t meant to be seen, and these fab embellished bobby pins.
We’re showing you how easy it is to make rainbow embellished bobby pins. Personally, I love these for date night, work, or special events. And when you’re growing your hair out, they’re practically a must have.
One of the great things about spring is that all the flowers start blooming again. In my area, everywhere you look you see daffodils and tulips popping up and trees starting to leaf out.
One of the things that’s sure to put you right into that springtime mood are these great Springy Rose Flower Earrings. They’re so cute, right on trend, and oh so easy to make. They’ll take you like 5 minutes to make. Seriously.
I adore vintage … well… just about anything, really. Vintage jewelry and vintage furniture. Vintage fashions for sure. And of course vintage styles. I was playing around with some of these fabulous vintage pieces that I had, when I thought “hmmm…I bet we could upcycle this into something cool.”
It was then that inspiration struck. In about 5 minutes we had this really fun upcycled vintage ring designed and made.

If you’re having trouble finding these items, or you don’t have a Silhouette machine, never fear. We’re putting together a kit that you’ll be able to purchase very soon.
Clean your cabs and ring blanks with rubbing alcohol and set aside. The cabs are old and have been touched by who knows what. The ring blanks probably have some manufacturing residue on them.
Find a simple shamrock design you like, and cut it out of the gold vinyl with your Silhouette machine. I found a clip art design and used the trace feature. These are about 0.6 inches tall.
Remove one of the shamrock decals from the backing and carefully place it on the cleaned vintage lucite cab.
Once you make sure there aren’t any major wrinkles, burnish it down well. There may be small wrinkles at the end of the leaves, but they’re easy to work out.
Add a small dab of E6000 to the back of the cab and the ring blank. A grain of rice size is plenty of glue. Give them a second, then smoosh the two pieces together. Take care to make sure the clover is right side up.
Set aside, and let the ring dry.
Voila! You now have a really fun Good Luck Vintage Cab Ring!

This is a Fashionista Event Opportunity in conjunction with oNecklace. I received a review item in order to share my honest opinion about the item and the company. Fashionista Events is co-hosted by Still Blonde After All These Years and ModlyChic. #FashionistaEvents
Way back when, I always wanted a personalized necklace. This was when Sex and the City was on, and Carrie had her name necklace, and I thought that was the greatest thing. Of course, having a name like Greta means that you don’t often find personalized items readily available. I looked into having one made, and it was prohibitively expensive.
Fast forward (unintelligible) years and here we are. Name necklaces, and other types of customized jewelry items, are now readily available for everyone. oNecklace has all types of customized necklaces that you can order, including name necklaces.
Spring is officially here. In my area, that means that we’ll start having birds’ nests in every available building or tree crevice before too long. What better way to celebrate the arrival of Spring than with a great birds nest necklace. These would be an amazing Mother’s Day gift, too.
These leather charm bracelets have been popular for a while now. They make a great simple statement piece, or a fab addition to an arm party. The leather charm bracelets have a rocker chic vibe or a simple and elegant feel. They really take on the attitude you want to give them.
Wanna know a secret, though? Leather charm bracelets are really easy to make. And inexpensive. For about the cost of one bracelet, you could buy everything you need to make several of these leather charm bracelets yourself – including a good pair of pliers.
Today, we’re shopping for the ladies. Women think that they’re easy to shop for, but we all know better. “Oh anything you get me will be great. After all, it’s the thought that counts.” Riiiiiiiigggghhhhhhttttt… We’ve all heard that. Then, we hear through the grapevine that someone is mad at us because they didn’t like their gift.
These gift ideas for women are sure to knock their socks off.
Beach Glass and sea glass is so pretty. It’s hard to believe that these pieces used to be trash that has now been tumbled by the ocean for so many years. Since it’s such a treasure, beach glass should be treated as such. A wire wrapped sea glass or beach glass pendant is the perfect way to show off a treasured piece.
