diy: updated gloves

One more super-simple, affordable DIY gift idea... just in case you're still finishing up those last minute gifts. (or is that just me?)

 

whatcha need:
knit gloves
felt
scissors
glue gun

make a felt bow. 
I cut two pieces of felt, one longer than the other and glue one into a loop.
Then pinch the middle of the loop and glue it to create  bow shape.
Glue it the bow on top of the remaining felt piece and cut the ends to look like ribbon.
Cut a thin strip of felt to go around the middle.
Glue or stitch onto your gloves!

I think that there a million ways to dress up knit gloves. I think sewing lace on the inside would be adorable or even sewing on a few buttons would be pretty cute as well.

the perfect 5-minute diy project.

diy: painted glasses from yellow bird, yellow beard

Is it appropriate to talk about umm... (whispers) Christimas...gifts yet? I mean, if not, that's cool-- feel free to go elsewhere, but I've started thinking about gifts and, in particular, making gifts.

I'm excited to share a super cute DIY from Janee of Yellow Bird, Yellow Beard. (If you haven't checked out her cute, cheerful and inspiring blog & shop, I highly recommend it.) These painted glasses would be a great Christmas gift or maybe a just a fun project in general.
