These fabulous faux enamel flower earrings are made from...soda cans!  Yes folks turn those empty cans into the hottest flower accessory in just 3 simple steps!

It's that simple...and you can use all sorts of fabulous flower punches.  The ends aren't sharp but you can run a file around them if your punch is pointy.  (the paint a sealer dull the edges too)

Endless possibilites...

Chiffon Flower Shoe Clips

I love adding a little extra pop of girly style to my already girly outfit!  I just adore the thought of dressing up an average flat with a happy chiffon flower shoe clip.  These little beauties work on just about any summer shoe from flip flops to strappy night time sandals.  I used the Fabric Carnation Tutorial but used a pretty lemon chiffon instead of cotton.  After I made the flowers I heat sealed the edges by gently waving it over a candle...which makes the flower curl up even more!  Then I added a little piece of felt with a shoe clip (you can even use a clip on earring back from the craft store) and attached it with a little hot glue. 

Easy Peasy!

Happy Almost Birthday To Me!

I love birthdays...my kids, my hubby, my folks, my friends, my dog and yes mine too!  Celebrating life and feeling super special is fabulous, and you should do it every day especially on your birthday.  I have made tons of hair flowers, corsages and jewelry for people for their birthdays and this year I decided to make myself a little bit of cuteness for my big day on Saturday.  I wanted to make a little something happy to wear all day...so I combined a few things I love into a cute little hair flower.  I love flowers, ruffles, polka dots, sparkles, my boys (that's why it's blue) and a little 1940's glam.  So here it is...now what to wear with it?

Flower Baubles

I just adore a statement ring.  I love when I'm chatting with someone and notice that they have a fabulous chunky ring that catches my eye, I always comment on it!  I've been looking for a way to use some of the fantastic beads I have in my collection and decided to make my own big flower bauble style cocktail ring. Guess what, I wore one today and as I was chatting with the sweet lady at the checkout she said "Ooh, cute ring".  I'm not the only one who loves a cool statement ring :)  I'm thinking of doing a tutorial or adding them to the jewelry class lineup...
