Mint and Gold Mirror

This vintage hand mirror is a glamourous thrifted find. 

It is made of brass and decorated plastic, and likely hails from some time between the 1940s and 1960s. 

Decorative Acorns

Why are acorns so darn cute? I've been painting them, covering them in velvet, and stuffing loose caps with colorful felted balls for some seasonal displays. 

DIY Scalloped Series: Necklace

Materials:

Glue gun

Paint brush

Acrylic paint

Thin wooden semicircles (Note: I started with 4 circles and sawed them in half to get 8 semicircles)

Ribbon the thickness of the wooden semicircles (I used a length about 30 inches)

Step 1: Paint the wooden semicircles with your desired color or pattern. 

As you can see, I gave mine a golden edge and painted one side mint green. When I want a more neutral necklace I can wear it with the wooden side showing to match my hair and skin.

Step 2: Center and hot glue the painted semicircles onto the ribbon to make a row of scallops. 

The extra ribbon at the ends can be tied in a bow as the closure.

Ta-da!
