etsy finds.

etsy has so many great finds. these are just a few of the handmade goodies that have caught my eye.

i’m definitely needing to spice up my wall!

i love the idea of having the home states of me and my husband in our home.

hand crafted mugs, wall art and simple jewelry are the perfect touch. ♥

jersey knit bracelet. diy.

today i made a bracelet from an old t-shirt!

it was easy to make and a ton of fun!

i’ve included some how-to-photos.

the next time you’re about to throw a t-shirt away, make a bracelet (or headband) instead. ♥

Step 1// cut 2 strips of cloth, approximately 50 inches long. (pictured above)

Step 2//cut a small slit, approximately 1/4 inch, at the end of each strip. (pictured above)

Step 3// align the slits at opposite directions and thread the end of one of the strips. (pictured above)

Step 4// place the strip of cloth behind your ring finger. leave about 4 inches as a tail. (pictured above)

Step 5// weave the strip around your pinky then above your ring finger. (pictured above)

Step 6// make a big loop that covers both pinky and ring finger. (pictured above)

Step 7// pull the lower weave portion of cloth over the big loop made in step 6.

complete the pinky finger first, then complete on your ring finger. (pictured above)

REPEAT!

continue doing this process until you’ve reached the desired length.

Step 8// gently remove fingers, thread tail into holes, and tie a knot.

Step 9// enjoy!!

trader joe’s.

trader joe’s is one of my favorite places to shop.

they have fresh and local organic foods with an island, laid-back environment.

plus, they even have food samples! :)

one of the things i’ve always liked about TJ’s are their recycled brown paper bags.

this year, TJ’s gave shoppers the opportunity to make garlands out of their bags!

thank you, trader joe’s. ♥

chalk it up.

although writing on chalk boards give me the goose bumps EVERY time, i still LOVE them.
they are such an easy way to add a touch of fun.
i also really like that you can erase any mistakes, since i’m definitely not the best artist!
while browsing online it was so nice to see some unconventional chalk board location ideas.
DIY projects are my favorite and i’m very excited to add some chalk art to my new little home. ♥
