The holidays are here. Need a quick handmade gift? I had a last minute gift to make and managed to crank this purse out over a weekend. If you need a quick project and have little time make this last minute gift. I wrote this pattern as simply as possible to help save you time. Plus it’s completely adjustable. Want a bigger or smaller purse? Just adjust the square and strap to your desired size.

My most prominent love language is gift giving. Seriously, who doesn’t love getting presents? If I can make someone smile or make someone’s day by giving them a little meaningful trinket or a few of their favorite candy bars, I’m doing it.
That’s why this project is so awesome. It’s incredibly easy, useful, and all about meaningful personalization. Although the tools are a little spendy, once you have them, you never have to buy them again, and you can continue making these gifts for as long as you’d like.

During the hottest days of summer, I love using headbands to keep my hair out of my face. The athletic headbands work best for keeping your hair away and staying put, but they look like you’re ready to go for a run. The fashion headbands look pretty but often don’t really hold your hair back. I wanted a cute and functional headband that would keep my hair out of my face, but that I could still wear out. So, I took the basic premise of the athletic headbands but turned it into a bow! It was super easy and inexpensive. I made mine in an adult size, but you can easily make it small for any little girls in your life.

While spending too much time on Pinterest the past few weeks I have noticed one craft trend that I did not expect emerging to the foregrounds, tassels. I have become surprised with all of the possibilities for these colorful additions. Whether it’s jewelry, home decor, or sprucing up old accessories and clothing, tassels are becoming a craft trend that I can full-heartedly get on board with.

As summer sets in and the heat seems unrelenting, I am finding myself disregarding good hair days in an attempt to keep cooler. Long hair on a hot summer day often means a very sweaty head and rather than subject myself to the heat, my hair ends up in some sort of up-do. As someone who struggles finding the perfect balance between fashion and function I can say that DIY Summer Headbands make this a much easier task. As a current trend, DIY headbands are perfect for the summer season. Stay cute on the beach and accessorize your top-knot with these great ideas!
