Inspiration

It's no secret that the holidays are a crazy busy time of year!

I haven't posted a tutorial in quite a while (in case you missed it, don't miss out on one of my most recent posts here), but that doesn't mean I haven't been crafting lately. 

Despite being quite busy with the end of the semester and finals week as well as traveling to see family over Christmas break, I've started quite a few projects that I am super excited to share with you all in the upcoming months! 

While I finish all the projects I have started (and have yet to start) and write up tutorials on them, I'm posting some pictures of inspiration I am drawing on for upcoming projects.

Be sure to like Elemental Carbon on Facebook and follow on Twitter to be updated with any new posts!

pv.Body + a discount!

I'm usually at the gym 4-5 times a week and being a college student, I put off laundry as long as humanly possible, so I go through a lot of workout clothes.

And I figure that if I'm wearing cute workout clothes, people are less likely to look at my face, which usually looks like a boiled tomato. Which is where pv.Body (and an awesome discount for you readers!) come in.

Book Garland // DIY

This week is the start of finals week (boo) and thus a lot of studying (double boo), so today's post is a quick one.

Today we're making garland out of an old book! This whole project cost me 50 cents. And no, that wasn't a typo!




(Aren't those dorm room walls classy? Yeeeeah baby.)

It is super easy!

Leather & Gold Feather Earrings // DIY

Today we're making leather feather earrings. That's right. Leather feather earrings. Try saying that three times fast.

Leather feather leather feather leather feather.


These earrings were inspired by this pin on pinterest, but I couldn't find the original site that they came from. 


And if you aren't super crafty or you don't have the supplies, you're in luck! I made quite a few extra pairs and listed them in my ETSY SHOP.


Read on to learn how to make them yourself!
