DIY Safety Pin Chain Bracelet

Found this perfect little DIY Safety Pin Chain Bracelet over at Flight of Fancy, and I plan to tackle it over the weekend! I really love the idea, especially because I already have all this stuff scattered around my house. I think I may thread some neon string in between the chains just to give it a little pop if color- which would look great since metallics and neon are really trending this Summer. Further instructions found HERE.

Painted Wall Frames

So excited to try this DIY project I found over at the awesomely inspirational blog for all things crafty- JK JK. We all have faced the challenge of a boring blank wall in need of art. So here's a wonderful solution (especially helpful for those of us on a budget!) Directions found below via eighteen25.

DIY Painted Wall Frames

Supplies:
Paint, Brushes, Items to trace


Directions:
1.  Find a blank wall.
2.  Gather a few good shapes to trace onto your wall (like boxes or books.)  These traced shapes will be your frames.
3.  Use a pencil and start tracing shapes onto the wall.  I'd suggest starting with the bigger shapes.  Fill in the spaces around the big shapes with smaller ones. You can always erase and start over if you need to! 
4.  Get your paints ready. Use a few different sized brushes to help vary the width of frames.  Here's a little inspiration when planning your designs:  here & here.
6.  Your done! Congrats! Consider hanging some photos or drawing inside your newly painted frames.
