No Mold Needed DIY Palmistry Sculpture

$10 DIY Palmistry Sculpture

I always wanted a vintage glove mold. Something about the white porcelain and markings seemed perfectly classic but unexpected. The only problem was that they start at $40 and easily go higher.

Grown Up Friendship Bracelets

Remember those childhood friendship bracelets you used to make? Every sleepover, every camp, every birthday; there always seemed to be a bracelet making station. This childhood staple has been getting an elevated upgrade and popping up everywhere from Urban Outfitters, to Madewell, to Anthropologie. But why pay $15+ when you can easily DIY a piece […] Read More
