Something blue for a special friend (DIY Brooch)

Dear readers,

One more post before we finally fly off for the summer holidays.

A friend living far away is about to get married and I wanted to give her something special.

I made this brooch with beads in several shades of blue. Beside the obvious symbolism, the vintage style of the brooch also says a lot about her. She will understand:) 

Unfortunately, I somehow managed to erase all the step-by-step pictures from my camera. Therefore, I hope you will at least enjoy the pictures of the final result.

I wish you all warm and sunny holidays. We'll be back in a month.

Love,
Emina

DIY: Handmade Brooch (Old Necklace Recycled)

I'm so excited to share with you my first handmade brooch ever! 

The best part about it is that I managed to recycle a very old necklace which used to be my favorite piece of jewelry back in high school. I knew I would never wear it again but there were so many memories connected to it and I couldn't bring myself to throw it away. I am so happy I didn't!

I must apologize for the bad picture quality but the pics where taken at night with my cell-phone. I tried to make the best of it. Anyway, I hope this fact will not distract you and that the pictures are comprehensive enough. Now scroll down to see the rest:)

DIY: The Coolest Rope Necklace

I was planing to make a necklace using rope for a long time and a few days ago I found the perfect rope in a hardware store (A short digression: I can spend hours in a hardware store wandering around and buying stuff "I will need sometime for something. Maybe").

If you're in love with my latest necklace as much as I am and would like to have the same, I captured every step of the process for you.

DIY: How I Met Your Mother T-Shirt Adjusted

By now you should all know that I am a big fan of How I Met Your Mother and in particularly Barney Stinson (at least the Barney that he used to be in the first seasons). This is why I just had to order this funny statement t-shirt when I saw it on Amazon. 

But when it finally arrived I felt as if there is something missing. I didn't like the sleeves and it just needed my very own personal touch. I think that my little adjustments really made a huge difference.

DIY Fashion: From Old Necklace To Fabulous Blouse

 I had this broken necklace for some time and didn't know what to do with it. Then I found a cute green blouse that I haven't worn for ages. I still liked it but it was somehow boring and definitely needed a makeover.
