Are you crafty? Do you appreciate making things on your own and then wearing them with pride? I have a head to toe round-up of springtime crafts that are easy and wearable.
/1/ Fabric Flowers – After you make a few of these cuties you can add them to headbands or belts. Add a pin to the back and wear one as a brooch on your favorite jacket.
/2/ Embroidered Sunglasses – Cross-stitch is HOT right now. It’s not your granny’s craft anymore! Please except these sunglasses as Exhibit A in my case.
Perler Bead Earrings DIY
/3/ Perler Bead Earrings – Stumbling across this craft took me back to my childhood. Do you remember Perler beads? Back then we made shapes and animals out of them. Today you can learn to make a trendy pair of earrings. {They remind me of the popular wooden ones that are circling the web right now.}
/4/ Dip Dyed Necklace – Inspired by a high-end retailer, this necklace is perfect for spring and will carry you in to summer.
/5/ Nest Pendant Necklace – Nothing says spring quite like a nest full of bird’s eggs. And because this pendant represents each of your children {or grandchildren} it’s a spring piece like none other.
/6/ Peter Pan Collar Necklace – Some tops or dresses are just too plain at the neckline. Add a Peter Pan collar for a forever classic look.
/7/ Knit Scarf – Spring isn’t 90 degrees in all parts of the country. {It has been in Florida for the last few days.} If it’s still a bit cool where you are then this lightweight knit scarf will be the perfect addition to your outfit.
/8/ Chevron Leather Cuff – What else is a hot trend this season? Chevron. Lots and lots of chevron.
/9/ Button Ring – Make your own statement rings with vintage or new buttons. You can even stack them for a layered look. Best part? They are great for adults or kids!
/10/ Chevron Tee – Embellish an old {or new} tee with this easy-peasy chevron design.
/11/ Tank Dress – This dress tutorial makes me want to pull out my sewing machine NOW! Everything about it screams “cute & comfy.”
/12/ Maxi Skirt – Do you have a maxi dress hanging in your closet that doesn’t fit quite right up top? Do you frequent the clearance racks or thrift shops and always find really cute maxi dresses that are two sizes too big? This tutorial turns those maxi dresses into amazing maxi skirts.
/13/ Springtime Apron – Even though the weather is warming up and we all would love to stay outside all day everyday, we still have to cook. Why not look cute in the kitchen too?
/14/ Ruffled Canvas Tote – Every Farmer’s Market is re-opening for the season. Take along this cute tote to carry all of your fresh produce and groceries.
/15/ Custom Sneaks – Pick your shoes, pick your color, pick your pattern. What will you choose?
I can’t wait to see which of these tutorials you choose to make. Maybe all of them? I know I’m going to be giving a handful {or more} of them a try! Will you share what you make with us on our Facebook page?
