Necklace out of Shower Curtain Rings

My FAVORITE types of crafts are the ones where I don't

A) have to spend any money

B) can find all the stuff I need in less than five minutes

This is a project that satisfies both A & B!

Who knew shower curtain rings could help make such a modern and funky necklace?!

Obviously THIS girl knew!

"There is nothing I love more than being resourceful. Here is a simple necklace tutorial made out of thrifted finds. It is very fun and perfect for a little added funky flair. PLUS, it looks christmas-y right? You can make it with any color scheme by changing out the beads, and fabric. I did totally make this up… so no hating or judging.. haha. It’s just for fun. The items you will need are shown above: Strips of fabric, beads, yarn or string, and shower curtain rings. I displayed yarn AND string… but in this example I just chose to use the yarn."

And here's a fun how-to set up a fun family wall display with photo canvases!

"I have been dying to make/buy a photo canvas for quite some time. My dad has a beautiful one, with a photo of a Hibiscus flower. It’s amazing. And I’ve seen great options around blog land too, but I just wasn’t sure quite what I wanted to do. The photo canvases can be pretty expensive – usually over $100 I think...." Read more.

Reusable Coffee Sleeve

These reusable coffee sleeves are both

adorable AND eco-friendly!

Cute and nice to the environment... win!

"When you purchase your coffee it comes with the cup, the lid and the cardboard coffee sleeve.  My goodness - that is a lot of waste for one coffee drink!  So, I thought maybe we could help eliminate some of the waste by creating a reusable coffee sleeve.  Just a small little sleeve that you could slip in your bag or briefcase and use when you buy your coffee. I have seen so many of these for sale on etsy.com.  They are super-cute, but they looked easy enough to make, so I thought I would try my hand at making one myself.  If you know someone who is a coffee-shop addict (or you are one yourself), make them one of these reusable coffee sleeves and help our environment by eliminating waste.

Eyeglasses Brooch

One trip to Goodwill and you're set to go!

I'm personally, not a fan of brooches, but these litttle guys can be used for decoration or to fill out a gift bag.

"Since that time, I have been meaning to make my own eyeglass brooches using my old glasses. Of course, I would prefer to donate my eyeglasses to the Lion's Club recycling program, which seems like a really great effort. However, since my lenses contain prisms (since my eyes are all jacked up), I have been told my glasses are not usable in the program. Well, at least this way my funky lenses will not end up in the trash. If you have an extra pair of eyeglasses lying around, you could make a brooch as well... Read More."

"hello and happy monday to you! i'm working my way through a large coffee, sneezing my head off and looking back on some cut and paste fun i had this weekend. inspired by a beautiful patterned pendant i bought from jess swiftlast year, i decided to try a humble version made of paper. just as i did with the bookmarks, i collaged an 8.5x11 sheet of 80 lb cardstock with pieces from my stash - mostly stuff from old marie-claire maisons, anthropologie catalogs, and patterned papers. i covered both sides to make the necklaces reversible...

Mannequins cost anything from 99-500 dollars...

well you can use your OWN body to create a dress form with a little (messy) help!

You really just need another person, garbage bag, a lot of duct tape, and newspaper!

"You know why I have little sisters? So I can torture them with my craft making capabilities! I have two younger, much younger sisters that are in or will be in fashion design classes in high school in the fall. So while I was visiting we made them dress forms. We didn't get to mine. But I have the supplies and will be doing it this weekend before my husband goes. You need to have two people to pull this craft stunt off. I you tubed, googled, and blogged around the web for video's. I found my favorite ones and combined aspects of each to make ours... Read More"

Make This Awesome Altered Hoodie!

This is one of my favorite "altered" clothes projects.

Look how trendy and edgy this looks!

I can't believe how simple it is to turn a boring white hoodie into a fun piece like this!

"A while back as I was browsing through though my local Anthropologie store (key word browsing!) I came upon these sweaters (below) and I loved the concept- square blocks of fabric applique on the surface of a garment- but what I don't love is the price of $100.00 for a sweater. While I do like browsing Anthropologie, quite frankly I never actually shop there- their price points make me really mad- but thats another story! Anyway, I decided to put my own twist on the concept but use a blank hoodie sweatshirt- a staple piece of clothing in my neck of the woods... Read More"

So, I came home with some cool animal shots and I was trying to think of something to do with them here on Prudent Baby. Here is a DIY for these little watercolor silhouettes that I made....

Booze Art!

I'm loving the "paisley-esque" look of some of these tiles!

This is great.
Go to Micheals and buy some of these alcohol blending solutions,
and special inks and some ceramic tiles...

I don't know how pricey it'll be but from the pictures I'm looking at,
I think it'd be completely worth it!

"so easy, so fun, just as sandra said it would be. the results are nearly immediate. alcohol ink dries very quickly on non-porous surfaces. start with a thin layer of the alcohol blending solution, spreading it evenly with a toothbrush. (this diffuses the color, brings out the saturation and extends the drying time.) then squeeze big drops of one color on the tile and watch it do the weirdest stuff ever... READ MORE"
