These Tie Cell Phone Cases are Awesome!

I stumbled across these cell phone cases made of old ties.
There's no tutorial, but it could be fun figuring out how to make one for yourself.
Or you could visit Tearful Touch's Etsy Shop to buy your own for about $20!

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.

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"

Create this Anthropogie inspired Tee!

Stylin'
This shirt is such a cute idea!

Make a Halter Top from a Scarf!

You work it girl!

This scarf shirt is awesome! Too bad it's not summer anymore :(

But who says you can't hide it under a cardigan or a pea coat!? NO ONE.

So go ahead! Make one of these babies and work it girl!

All you need is a scarf and some sort of ribbon or chains, and a little bit of sewing.

"Seriously. This is so simple that it may even take you longer to pull out your sewing machine and set up than to actually make this top! How fabulous is that?! We found this idea here, and with the hot weather we've been having around here lately we thought now was the perfect time to whip one up! READ MORE!"
