    Yep, we’re sharing our birthday tomorrow – I’ll celebrate for you in NC – will you celebrate for me wherever you spend tomorrow??? That would be SO COOL! Have a fabulous day & Year of wonderful-ness!! 🙂

I’m using bathroom bleach and freezer paper to cre I’m using bathroom bleach and freezer paper to create this really cute stenciled bleach design! It’s such a fun way to create a custom pattern on any denim clothing. I’m doing a jean jacket, but you do you….this works with jeans cut off whatever you want.  for the appliqué I’m cutting out a design from a thrift shop hoodie and I use some iron on webbing just to secure that in place and then I sewed around the design with the machine, but you could of course just do a little hand stitch as well. I love how this turned out and I love making DIY looks for myself and the girls.

DIY Purse Chains and Charms from Toys! I made this DIY Purse Chains and Charms from Toys! I made this for a special table-read visit to Bob’s Burgers! 🎉 wWhen I got invited… I knew I had to craft something to wear! I got the Louise doll at Five Below! 

These purse charms are easy to make with small toys. A few tips! 

Use beading wire and not stretchy cord. This helps with durability. 

When drilling toys, use a drillbit that is slightly smaller than your eye screw. Add a drop of clue if you would like to have a little extra security.

I like to add jump rings to the ends of my chains, so I can easily take them on and off purses.

these purse chains and charms are so easy to make. I hope you give this DIY a try.
