Some things just speak to you and when I saw this Dior bag, not only did I fall in love with it but I felt compelled to make my own version. This project is a little more involved than most of the projects I do, but it was so much fun to make and so satisfying when I finished it.

SPOON ROSE PIN DIY

One of the things I love the most about jewelry is its sculptural properties. Like wearing a piece of art. It can be a real conversation starter and a great way to express your personal style.

You really feel like McGuyver melting spoons over a candle.

PLEASE READ:
It has been brought to my attention that melting plastic spoons releases a toxic gas that is very dangerous to breathe. When I did this project I knew that it was something to be careful of and I melted the spoons in an area by an open window with a lot of ventilation.
It is your choice whether or not you choose to make this project, but please be aware of the dangers of melting plastic. If you do choose to make it I would suggest if it’s possible to do it outside and make sure that the plastic does not catch on fire.
There are many types of plastics and a lot of information on the web about melting plastic.

SILVER LINING

For my Thursday Inspiration I’m sorting through this mountain of Silver that was dumped on me generously passed down to me by my mother. Over the next few weeks I plan on re-purposing it into amazing things we can actually use around the house.

As far as polishing this silver I wish I had Photoshop in a can!

Silver LiningTwo words elbow grease!

Silver LiningThe details in this miniature sugar and creamer is such a work of art.

A friend recommended this method to polish my silver on Real Simple. I haven’t tried it yet but I’ll let you know how well it works. My silver is really tarnished. If anyone knows of a better way let me know.
