diy with Brittni:

February 25, 2011

Good morning. Brittni here from papernstitch with this week's diy roundup. And today I am obsessed with the little things; those tiny diy's that will make a big impact on you and in your home. So, let's jump right in with the first tutorial...

If you're a camera nut, you probably know about Photojojo, a site for the camera fiend with photo-related diy projects, the coolest camera gear, and more. I stop by the site pretty frequently to check in on new diy's, and this recent project for a photorealistic gadget pouch (image above) is pure genius. You can actually make a pouch out of one of your old (or new) photographs. Awesome. And the best part? You don't need a sewing machine, which is music to my non-sewing ears.


Break out the nuts and bolts. Well, just the hex nuts really. This braided hex nut bracelet from Honestly...WTF is surprisingly glamorous considering the materials. The projects that Erica and Lauren come up with for their blog are insane! Such a great resource for fashion and diy's.

Then, get some woodland inspiration with this clever log display jar created by Kate Pruitt (found on Design Sponge). In about two hours in time and a few dollars in supplies, you'll be displaying your newest treasures in the coolest curiosity cabinets ever.

And if you're feeling unclean after the woodland project, check out this fun felt soap diy from Wit and Whistle. It's a great gift idea for a friend's upcoming birthday, or even something like a party favor. *This is probably the easiest project in today's roundup. So, be sure to try it.


And lastly, if you're struggling to stay organized so far this year, head back to the woods for this rustic wood alphabet magnets tutorial from none other than Aesthetic Outburst. Such a great idea. Perfect for the fridge or any other magnetic surface. Hang family photos, your niece's latest art project, or your to-do's list.

What tiny projects will you be working on this weekend?

  11. I LOVE that bracelet. I'm a failed DIY-er. I bookmark dozens of sites with project that I'm absolutely-positively-for-real-this-time going to do...and then I just don't. I envy crafty people!
