Supa Powa Wristcuff Display

I've been in need of a display to feature my hand stitched Supa Powa Wristcuffs. What's a girl to do? I made 'em myself!

Made with:
2 dumpster dove drawers
Recycled Cardboard
Acrylic Paint
Hot Glue
Love
Sunshine



The drawers were found in a dumpster behind a local business that was remodeling.
First I painted both the drawers with a few layers of acrylic paint.
Next came measuring the insides and creating the shelves from a cardboard box i had ready to go out to the recycling bin. I also put a few coats of paint on those and let everything dry overnight.
The shelves were put into place and I added a little hot glue to them to make sure they didn't go anywhere.



Cost to make?
Free!

Mufynized Harajuku Nail Art

I love all things sparkly! I know... hard to imagine, right?

When I came across the nail art in the streets of Tokyo i was intrigued. I wanted my own. What's a girl to do? I made 'em myself.

These are the first nails I created and I anticipate they will not be my last.



I bought the shortest nails available (I think they said 'really short' on the packaging). The girl who sold them to me looked at me strangely and thought I was getting kids nails. For me, a girl who doesn't like long nails (I'm crafty! I need to use my fingers!), they were pretty perfect.



I only own a few colors of nail polish so I decided to use what I had. Acrylic paint. Just the regular kind you buy in the craft store. On went the layers of paint. Next I put on a top coat of clear nail polish. I added all the glitz with the same clear polish.

One thing I learned was that I should have let them dry overnight but I was JUST TOO EXCITED not to put them on.

Vintage Applique Laptop Skin

I created this custom applique 'skin' for my laptop last week using fabric from the vintage bedsheets i collect and recycled canvas.

The entire project was sewn by hand using embroidery floss. I added my tag to the bottom and scattered buttons.

I attached the whole thing to my laptop using a low temp glue gun. It's semi-permanent and can be peeled off if I ever decide I want to change it.

Live Fabulous and Free!
It's all mine!

It's a Karate Kid kind of Halloween

Here's the DIY costume I made for my little little for Halloween this year. I got a karate gi online for around $20 and used recycled t-shirt scraps and acrylic paint for the rest of it.

The headband was made from a piece of t-shirt stitched together like a tube and turned and was hand painted using acrylic craft paint and some fabric medium.

I cut the applique freehand and pieced it together in a crafty style I think would make Mrs. Miyagi proud. Then top stitched the whole thing with gold thread.

Believe me... everybody WAS Kung Fu Fighting.
