DIY | Sarah Forshaw's Blog

I was raised in a home where wasting anything was a serious crime! And I think because of that, and the fact my mother could put Martha Stewart to shame. I try extremely hard to repurpose something that isn’t completely ruined, but is no longer usable as is. So I had this shirt, I just loved it, an adorable purple tank with really cool beading, that I got on clearance at Forever21 for like $5! Tragically I ruined it 😥 there were some serious stains that would just never come out boo hoo. So instead of being wasteful and throwing it out, I decided to cut it, sew it, and wear it as a statement necklace!

Unwearable.

Step one, cut around the beadwork like so, leaving extra fabric up top so you can hem it.

Step two hem it up!

Step three wear and brag about how you made it! I hope you guys enjoyed this little lazy DIY. Happy Thursday!

I did a nail polish tutorial the other day with Zoya colors in Mia and Trixie, well I decided to try the same look but with Goldie and Mia. I pretty much painted my nails the same way I did last time, except I only did a single coat of mia, and just did the french manicure part free hand without the wooden skewer. So here is how it turned out!

I love how this box matched my nails!!!

Now for the lazy DIY portion of this blog. I was going through a box of old dress up jewelry I had as a kid, because you never know what cool thing you might find, and I found a really pretty clip-on earring, naturally I am not going to wear clip-ons…well on my ears that is. So I located a gold chain, and clipped on the earring making a really cute necklace!
