READER PROJECTS and Q&A

I decided I need to start sharing readers' DIY's on here, rather than on just the Facebok fan page. I've been seeing some really good ones lately! I love it when readers take an S&P idea and add their own special twist. Perfect example of the kind of creativity I love. 


Kathryn from Canada made this Knuckle Duster Eyeglass Case Clutch entirely her own.



Courtney from Omaha, Nebraska made her own Sweatshirt Blazer, topped off with an owl brooch.



Vivian from Garden Grove City, California made a bracelet inspired by the Gem & Chain Ring. Very innovative.




Claire in Kenya made her own Embroidery Thread Tassel Earrings. I like that she used a thinner thread, so it flowed differently than the embroidery thread I used. Her earrings practically shoulder dusters, which is pretty awesome.


On another note:

I get a lot of e-mails every day (not that I mind) - some of which ask the same questions (again, not that I mind) - so I think I'm going to do a Q&A of some sort. If I'm going to reply to questions, might as well share the answers here!

I'll answer them in either a post or a video; so with that said, ask away! DIY, fashion, or whatever-related questions are welcome. You can either leave a comment below, tweet me at @kirstengail or e-mail me at kirsten.studsandpearls@gmail.com - whatever works for you. Be sure to include your name and location.

Aaand on yet another note:

I have an awesome awesome awesome announcement to make within the next few weeks. April seems to be the month of exciting news for S&P!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend <3

xo,
kirsten
