Yo-yo fo sho

Here's some of the colourful yo-yos I've been making lately. I'm going to make them into hairbands, but here's some other things they can be used for;

Thrifty Fun has a tutorial for how to make these yo-yo chicks.

Learn how to make this yo-yo bracelet at Zakka Life.

I love this wearable yo-yo piece from XODÓ DI PANO / YO-YO CRAFT.

And this cute yo-yo covered bag is from Craftstylish.

Let there be light

This is the light fixture in my bedroom. It's bright pink and it's flocked. What more could you want?

Well here are some even more impressive chandeliers.

This piece is by Yaya Chou ad is made out of gummy bears! Apparently they don't melt, they just go a bit soft.

Michelle Brand recycles plastic bottles to make these stunning chandeliers.

Along with party poppers, Stuart Haygarth has also made chandeliers out of glasses, plastic wine glasses and tail lights.

Zia-Priven is a husband/wife design team who made this ping-pong ball chandelier.

Sewing on photos

I've been sewing on to photos again, but this time instead photos of my friends I chose to enhance a holiday snap.

Clothes as decor

So, you've just paid bazillions for a dress, but you're not gonna get your moneys worth with it hanging in your wardrobe. The solution; hang it on your wall to enjoy everyday.

This is by photographer Selina Lake. I want my life to look like every one of her photos.

You could hang it in a frame to be a bit more formal. Photo by Rachel Whiting.

It's not just dresses that deserve to be on the wall. Petrie Point Designs frame vintage swimwear.

If you want something a bit more functional then look to Paper Dolls for Boys who used two thrift store smocks to make curtains.

And you can buy clothes hanger lamps from Droog to make your own personal garment lighting.

The first garment I would think about displaying would be this piece of awesome that is my prom dress which I bought from ebay and need another excuse to wear.

A pirate's life for me

Arrrrrrrrrrr! This time it was pirate night at the SU. So I dug out the headscarves and whipped up some eyepatches for my housemates and I.

Piratey things from the craftverse:

This pirate themed charm bracelet is by Big Face Jewelery on etsy.

From the hive shows you how to make pirate's gold. And fairy dust because you can't be a pirate all the time.

Dressing up isn't just for people! Andrea DeHart on Craft made this pirate costume for a dog.

And who doesn't love a good pirate joke:
