Pinspiration Friday

Happy Friday! I am excited it is Friday because it's the weekend and Miss Bee's first volley ball game is on Sunday! Woohoo. So proud of her and cannot wait to see her in action. 

This weeks Pinspiration stems from an obsession of mine - Chevron! I've been eyeing some chevron knuckle rings, but couldn't see myself purchasing some when I could make them myself. I originally saw the rings on Etsy from HandmadebyNinaRae.

I had put it off for a while because I was trying to figure out how to make it, but I had some free time this week since the Holidays are all over with and sat down to try and figure it out.

All I had lying around the house was really thin jewelry wire from a previous project and some picture hanging wire - the picture hanging wire won since it was thicker and easier to work with. Here is my first attempt.

 I really liked how it turned out, but there was something not right about it, so I made two more to have the stacking look. I really like my second attempt at it.. they're not as pointy as the first attempt.

{Totally had a mini mani last night!}

Totally going out and getting the proper tools for this and am going to make a ton more. I don't know what the heck I will do with them, maybe give them to some of my fave bloggie friends, who knows? >wink wink<

Do you have any Pinterest projects you're working on? Tell me all about them!

Pinspiration Friday

Hello! Happy Friday! Hope you all had a lovely week. I sure did! I got caught up and delivered all of my custom orders, mailed out an Etsy order, got my print out for the print swap Im participating in, and mailed off the ten birthday 'thank you' gifts for some followers! Now I will spend the weekend catching up on housework and starting on a project just for myself. And, surprise surprise, the fabric had chevron arrows on it! Ok, so now onto this weeks Pinspiration!

I found this pin via someone I was following and pinned it to two of my boards: diy/crafts and Pinspiration Friday. I knew right away that it was not only a project I wanted to complete, but also one I wanted to share with all of you. 

The original pin is from the Metric Child. You should check out her blog.. it is super cool! 

Ahhh, see? Aren't those radical? 

I got the bobby pins at the dollar store {I used the extra long ones for this project}, the earring hooks and wire at Michael's. For a total of $7 you can have these earrings! Oh, and you need nail polish, but before I even pinned this I had got some at the dollar store for a gradient nail effect a few weeks back. I'm sure you all have nail polish already. 

I'm definitely lovin' how these turned out. And I love how easy they are to make! The 
bobby pins I picked up had 72 total, which makes for 5 pairs if you use 7 pins each earring. What's cool about this project is you can do stripes like she did {I wanted stripes too} or you can do a chevron print or polka dots or whatever pattern and in whatever colors you like! 

Do you have a Pinspiration project? I'd love to see it! Link up with me below!
