This week I decided to work with a medium that I don't use nearly enough. Both fabric and ribbon are versatile, cheap, and usually utterly ignored by me in my crafting endeavors. While digging through my old goodwill finds box I pulled out a really pretty (yet irreparably stained) silk skirt that I've been meaning to turn into something else. Then while cleaning I uncovered my sorely neglected ribbon stash. That was what got this week started. Anyway, on to the projects!
 |
| Nobody can loose their keys in their purse quite like I can. So I made myself this ribbon key fob to help me identify my key ring in the vast depths of my purse. |
 |
| Hairflower from remnants. |
 |
| Bib necklace from old T-shirt. This was super easy; I just cut the shirt around the rosettes, which happened to be at the neck of the shirt. That meant I could run a thin cord through the seam and boom! Five minute necklace. |
 |
| Earrings made from lace remnants and old iron-on style denim patches. I just cut four of the teardrop shapes, then used my trusty rolling mill to punch out the circles in the center. I cut the lace to fit, then sandwiched it between the two layers of denim and ironed it. The heat activated adhesive took care of binding all the elements together. Hurray! |
 |
| This choker is made from some funky yarn that was like a rolled up net. It was nice to trot out my old friendship bracelet making skills on this project! |
 |
| Fabric bead earrings! Everybody is super into paper beads right now so I thought I would go ahead and try making some in the same style, but with some scrap fabric I had laying around. I'm pretty pleased with the results! |
 |
| And last but not least, the reincarnation of the silk skirt! I cut strips off where there were seams, then wrapped those strips around some wooden bangles I've been meaning to do something with forever. These are so totally not my style but I love them dearly anyway. |
I'm super into using the denim iron on patches to make jewelry now. It was so fun and super easy! Thanks for looking, and I'll see you next week.
