Spring Accessory DIY from P.S. I Made This


Whether you’re a Jackson Pollock aficionado or couldn’t get enough of Spin Art as a kid, there’s no denying the positive impact of colorful and energetic splatters of paint. Add an unexpected addition to your outfit with jewelry inspired by designer Tom Binns’ splatter-effect Spring 2013 collection. This artistic wow-factor will makes you want to celebrate and paint the town. So bring out your inner DIY expressionist and turn an old accessory into a fresh work of art!
To create: Select an assortment of paint colors. The more colors, the more layers you’ll have. To keep a tidy space, use newspaper or a drop cloth. Pour a dollop of paint onto a protective surface and dab a paint brush; flick onto a statement necklace, we opted for a chunky rhinestone version. Take your next color and repeat. Try different brushes for an array of speckled effects. Once finished, let completely dry before wearing.

Spring Accessory DIY from P.S. I Made This


If we’ve got one tip to offer up for your Spring accessory collection…make sure it ROCKS. Chanel had an all-out crystal ball with its new collection, as Karl Lagerfeld decked heels, cuffs, hems and even eyebrows with brilliant moonstones & rocky gems.  Fuse abstract amethyst, moody-hued quartz and shimmering fluorite to create a bold yet (literally) precious D.I.Y. hair accessory for a look that packs the power of Kryptonite both day and night. 
To create:  Cut a rectangular piece of leather (or leather-like) fabric to the approximate size of your barrette. Glue the backside of the fabric piece to your barrette with extra-strength glue - we used E6000. To avoid excess glue and drips, use a craft stick. Finish by embellishing with an array of quartz and crystals. Let dry completely, then style for an instant eye-catcher.
