Craft Corner

I am extremely bored at work right now which has led me to do some major online window shopping. I spent like an hour on etsy looking at aprons and tea infusers (the two kitchen items on want so very much for Christmas), and then probably about an hour on J.Crew as well. My checking account is near empty after the Black Friday shopping extravaganza, but I'm severely lusting over these novelty tees. Which led me to some DYI ideas. These five tees definitely have inspired my creative side.

The way these ribbons float reminds me of a waterfall. It might be interesting to use multi colors or a few different shades of green and blue.












You can't see the back of this shirt, but the ribbon continues, ties, and hangs like a real necklace. The bead work will probably be time consuming, and I might but make an actual necklace with this design.











I've been putting corsages on EVERYTHING lately so I think I need to start making a bunch of fabric flowers to attach to my shirts, cardigans, and heels.












I'm very excited to finish this design. I have a brown tee from Old Navy that fits so well, but its just so boring, and I can really only dress it up with a cute necklace. This design is similar to the white tee above, but I definitely would rather just attach the ribbon and flower to the shirt.










I'm thinking less beads and more watercolor with this shirt. I'm definitely going to have to find a waterproof way to emulate watercolor on a shirt, but I can't wait to start painting!
