Everyday Turquoise

July 14, 2011 by

I saw these the other day on Pinterest and could not love them more.  I think they’d be a great alternative to the diamond stud as an everyday kind of earring.  (at least in my turquoise obsessed world)  Of course when I went to the link they were sold out.  I went on the hunt for some similar and these are some that I found.

  1. Socialite Studs, Forever 21
  2. Juicy Couture Pyramid Pave Stud Earrings, Bloomingdales
  3. Sterling Silver Turquoise Austrian Crystal Stud Earrings, Overstock
  4. Gold Tone Turquoise White CZ Trim Stud Earring, Amazon
  5. Anzie Royale Turquoise Stud Earrings in White Topaz, Max & Chloe
  6. Sterling Silver Square Synthetic Turquoise Stud Earrings, Silver Speck

Honestly WTF

July 7, 2011 by

Have you heard of this site? Honestly WTF is a site I stumbled upon recently and I’m LOVING their DIY tutorials, specifically on bracelets. The photo above are some of the ones that inspired me to get my craft on.

DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet
DIY Rope Bracelet
DIY Friendship Bracelet

Here is what I ended up with! They were pretty easy! The only ones that gave me a hard time were the rope bracelets, I could not wrap my head around how to tie that adjustable knot, but I finally got it right after several tries. The friendship bracelet, while it took a long time, it was pretty relaxing to sit and do while I watched Celebrity Rehab.  And you guessed it, I did not have rhinestones, but I did have turquoise beads (shocker).

The turquoise/green and shades of grey bracelets idea was found in the comments of Honestly WTF and you can find that tutorial here. I can’t wait to figure out how to mix and match these with other bracelets I have.  What DIY stuff have you been doing recently?
