Twister Board Raincoat // DIY // Repurpose October

Freaking Pablo, this project is seriously the bomb diggity.

In the continuation of my REPURPOSE OCTOBER series, today we will be making a Twister board raincoat!

Yep. A raincoat. From a Twister board.

BOOM.

Ya heard me.



This would also make a cool Halloween costume!

Don't forget to be e-mailing me your repurposed item crafts during the entire month of October! I will be making a feature post of my favorites at the end of the month, which is a fantastic way to get some great exposure!



My mom got me three (yes, three!) Twister boards from yard sales for about a buck each. This whole coat only took one board, though, so now I have some Twister boards left to play around with!

Monopoly House Pendant // DIY // Repurpose October

It's here! It's here! REPURPOSE OCTOBER has finally arrived and I am so excited to share all of these awesome repurposing projects with you! 

I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seats for this. 
C'mon, you know you have, don't deny it!

Today for the first week of REPURPOSE OCTOBER, we will be making these really cute necklace pendants from the houses/hotels that belong to a special edition of a Monopoly board game!



Don't forget to keep sending in your repurposed item crafts during the entire month of October via e-mail! I will be making a feature post of my favorites at the end of the month.


The houses come from a special edition of a Monopoly game that my mom got for me at a yard sale. If you can't find similar houses to these and still really want the necklace or pendant, I have them for sale in my Etsy shop!

You can find the listing for this in my Etsy shop here.

Read on to find out how to make them!

High-Low Skirt Refashion // DIY

It's been quite busy around here with studying for midterms (ew!)

With procrastination in full swing, I am here to share an awesome (and easy!) craft with you!

Did I say procrastination? I meant studying. Totally meant studying.

Aaaaanyways...look! A craft!


Isn't that a cute little high-low skirt? All it requires is a quick cut and an easy stitch along the hem. 

Before I get to the tutorial though, I'd like to share with you REPURPOSE OCTOBER!

I have a fantastic lineup of DIYs where I completely repurpose some common items. You are not going to want to miss it!



During the entire month of October, I'll be posting like normal on Sundays, but all of my projects will be of repurposed items!

And the best part? Throughout the month, I want YOU (yes, you!) to send me your repurposed crafts! At the end of the month, I will make a feature post of all my favorites! See my Contact page for my e-mail!

Excited yet? Don't try and hide it!

Now on to the tutorial for the high-low skirt. 


This is what it looked like before:

Introducing REPURPOSE OCTOBER

Get excited.

Like jump out of your seat and scream whilst dancing excited.

C'mon. Get up and do it. Nobody is watching.

I'm super excited to introduce to you my first ever series!

REPURPOSE OCTOBER.


Here's what's going down:

Every week in October, I will be doing my normal Sunday DIY/Tutorial/Crafty posts, BUT they will all be centered around repurposing an item for something completely different.

I have quite a few tricks up my sleeves so you won't want to miss a single week!

Throughout the whole month, I will be encouraging you, my lovely, talented readers, to be sending me YOUR repurposed crafts. That's right! I want to hear from you! Have a repurposed craft tutorial that you think I'll love? Send it to me! At the end of October, I will be making a feature post of all my favorites. 

So get started e-mailing me all those great ideas! See my Contact Me page for my e-mail!

Get excited!
