DIY Stella McCartney Inspired Holographic Phone Pouch

Hi lovelies!  I've been busy with 2 sick kiddos, but finally have a chance to post this amazing DIY!  Inspired by two different Stella McCartney products (this holographic phone pouch, and the Falabella chain trimmed bags), this hybrid is so fabulous!  And not to mention, it's from the same sheet of holo vinyl I used to make this cuff bracelet - with some still left for yet another project!  An amazing $1.79 well spent if I do say so myself.  {Click for the how-to!}

DIY Guess Inspired Chain Accent Metallic Belt

Hi lovelies!  Hope you had a great weekend!  I'm back at it, with a bunch more DIYs for you this week, maybe I'll even do a week's worth again?  The above inspiration I tore out of a Guess ad in a magazine, knowing I could easily do the belt (how fabulous are those bracelets? F21 has some similar ones!) {Steps after the jump!}

DIY: Calypso St. Barth Inspired Braided Wrap Bracelet

I fell in LOVE with these Calypso St. Barth braided wrap bracelets at Target, but am not going to spend $15 on a bracelet I can make for sooo much less!

I had all the items I needed in my craft closet!

I wanted my bracelet to wrap around 4 times, so I measured out the rope to be about 4.5 times the circumference of my wrist, measured loosely.  Cut another piece of rope the same length as well as a length of chain.  Attach one end of the chain to a jump ring.  Knot both pieces of rope to the jump ring, and finally attach one end of the clasp to the jump ring before closing it.  Use a lighter to melt the ends of the rope and push the ends into each knot, kind of gluing them together.

Braid it all, and repeat the process for the other jump ring on the end.  Trim any excess rope and chain.

And wear it!  I used silver chain and red rope, but I'm going to get some different colors as well and use some gold chain and some copper (faux rose gold) chain too!  Stay tuned, I'll post more pics!

So what do you think?  Love?  I do!  Maybe I'll add these to my etsy shop once I get it up....
