See? Book deal please!
To be clear, I don’t think there is anything wrong with photographing your projects. It’s when people try to make them sound all complicated and original by making an elaborate tutorial that I roll my eyes.
I made these with old, cheap jewelry and nail polish. Anyone could figure it out from there.

I unfucked a lot of shit today. My bedroom, laundry, etc. I also made over some crappy pieces of jewelry by partially painting them with neon nail polish. They’re not as terrible-looking as that sounds.
Maybe I will start a crafting/DIY blog where I explain how to do it in 17 steps, each illustrated with several over-exposed photos with very shallow depths of field.
Step One: Open nail polish bottle half way.
Step Two: Open nail polish bottle the rest of the way.
And so forth.

Hanging Jewelry Organizer from Utensil Holder
A couple of things:
- If you glue a sheet of cork to the back of this, the cup hooks won’t poke out the other side of it.
- I’d spray-paint this before putting the hooks on it, because the paint will probably flake off the hooks with use.
Good idea!

I should also do this when I move.

Now that you live on your own, it’s totally ok to draw on your walls with a sharpie … mom won’t yell at you if it looks this good! Via: Sharpie!
Love love love. When I own a home I will do wonderful things like this to it. Maybe with chalk though.
Who will ever want to live with me.

A painted “rug.” So I had, what I thought, was a brilliant idea, and once again a simple google search resulted in me being depressed that what I had wasn’t original. However, I’m now obsessed with creating one of these … as soon as I get a hardwood floor.

My grandmother did something like this on the linoleum under her kitchen table, except she made it look like brick/stone.
She was a cool lady.

Cute as a <button!>
I haven’t the heart to just buy this for $58.
Everything you need (sanz an amazing button collection) is at Michael’s. Come on now.
Oh wow. My mom has the world’s largest collection of buttons. Like, a huge box of ones she really has no use for. I should raid it and do this.

Do not pay $70 for this, that’d be a travesty!

If I had a hobby, it would be jewelry making. Maybe one day I will have time for a hobby again.*
*tumblr is an addiction - it’s different.

I just spent 2 hours making this necklace out of old glass pearls I got from my grandmother
And I’m pretty sure it mostly looks like it’s made out of a couple of strings of Mardi Gras beads.
Here it is with another string of beads (the shortest one) that is not attached.
So then I tried to add a pendant, but I’m pretty sure that just makes it look even tackier.
I don’t know. Thoughts? Should I just start over? Ideas for what I could do with these beads other than give them to someone who shows me her boobs? They’re such pretty colors, but I haven’t figured out how to make them look modern and stylish.
Well, at least I also watched The Important of Being Earnest with Colin Firth and Rupert Everett during those two hours, so they weren’t a complete loss.
