ACCESSORIZEWith Style

Simple, Chic Decorated Babby Pins

Buttons and other brightly colored round objects are easy to reuse in this project.

They can also add bursts of color or shine.

WHAT YOULL NEED:

bobby pins

buttons, beads, bolts, and other round objects

glue

Gather together bobby pins, as well as buttons, beads, and other small round trinkets. Objects with a flat side are the easiest to work with.

Glue the undersides of your buttons to the curved side of the bobby pins. Use as many or as few buttons as you like. You can line them up, stack them, or pair them with beads. Be creative! Bolts, grommets, and shiny silver washers are usually found in the toolbox, but they can add a metallic sparkle to any bobby pin creation.

Babby Pins Galore !

There is no limit to the wild bobby pins you can create. The decorations on these pins include tiny ribbon roses plucked from a dolls dress and paired with a metal bolt and washer, and a star-shaped mirror patch from an outgrown jean jacket glued to an old key ring, as well as jewels, keys, and other cool stuff.

Wonderfully Warm Bed Sheet Scarf

Old jersey sheets are incredibly soft and cuddly. What could be better to keep you warm on a cool day? Just add pockets and pom-poms for a personalized look.

WHAT YOULL NEED:

old bedsheet (preferably jersey cotton)

scissors or pinking shears

ribbon

fabric glue or needle and thread

pom-poms, appliques, or other fun decorations

Cut the sheet into a long strip in a width you like. Decide how long you want your scarf to be, then make sure to add another 12 to 16 inches for the pockets. This scarf was made from a piece of a bed sheet approximately 12 inches wide and 76 inches long.

On each end of the scarf, fold the end of the sheet in to form a pocket 6 to 8 inches deep. Glue or sew the edges of the pocket together. To outline the pocket, glue colorful pom-poms to pieces of ribbon. When they are dry, glue the ribbon pieces around the edges of the pocket.

Glue or sew more pom-poms, appliqus, felt pieces, or other decorations to your scarf. When all the glue has dried, show off your new and improved bedsheet scarf. And dont forget to use those handy pockets!

Indestructible Wallet

Remake an old wallet with some tape and a little creative spark.

The variety of looks you can achieve is astounding!

WHAT YOULL NEED:

wallet

duct tape, electrical tape, or other strong tape

ribbons, buttons, beads, or other embellishments

craft glue (optional)

Cover an old wallet in a layer of tape. You can place the strips of tape on the wallet in the same direction or create pattern lines by switching it up.

To add color to your wallet, use colorful tape to build bold patterns. You can even cut the tape into eye-catching shapes before pressing it onto your wallet. Use craft glue to attach ribbons, beads, buttons, or other embellishments. You will never need to throw away a wallet again!

Irresistible Bubble-Wrap Purse and Wallet

If you have bubble wrap left over from moving or from receiving a package, dont throw it away! Use it to make perky yet practical accessories.

Packing materials have never been so fashionable.

WHAT YOULL NEED:

bubble wrap

scissors

duct tape or electrical tape

glue

fabric (optional)

pom-pom, button, bead, or small ornament

Bubble wrap now comes in eye-catching colors. If your bubble wrap is clear, simply use tape or glue to attach colorful fabric to the back of the bubble wrap and it will show through.

Cut a long rectangular piece of bubble wrap. Fold it in half and tape the two sides closed. Then wrap a piece of tape over the top edges of both sides of the purse to reinforce the edges and keep them from tearing.

Cut a long, thin piece of bubble wrap for the purse strap. Line the entire underside of the strap with tape to make it stronger. Tape both ends of the strap to opposite spots on the inside of the purse.

To make a small wallet or purse pouch using bubble wrap, cut a rectangle that is 8 to 10 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide. Fold it so one end is about 2 inches from the other end. Tape both sides of the bubble wrap together to make a pocket. Using the scissors, make two cuts in the extra 2 inches of bubble wrap to form a triangular flap. Place tape around the edges of the flap. Fold the flap over. A pom-pom, button, bead, or other small ornament makes the perfect finishing touch for your sassy little wallet.
