Below, she shares a fun how-to on taking an old tie and making it into a gadget case! Father's Day is coming up right around the corner and who need another cheesy Father's Day gift? Nevertheless another tie? Why not make your hubby a father's day gift this year he can use. Let's admit it; most men nowadays have a cell phone, camera, iPod that they are using. They may also have a lot of ties kicking around. So instead of buying yet another tie for father's day this year, why not refashion one he doesn't wear anymore? What's great is this project involves only a little bit of sewing, some fun seam ripping (the kids love this) and dad can use it as a functioning gift. You're helping the environment by reusing and refashioning an article of clothing in your home and also being easy on your wallet.

    Susan Beal is a contributor at Craftstylish, a site dedicated to do-it-yourself crafts and fashionable art projects! Below, she shares a fun how-to on creating your very own Art Nouveau inspired pendant! Pick up some sheets of shrink plastic at your local craft store or online and use it to create a vintage-inspired pendant piece! I traced a romantic, swirly pattern onto white plastic and used it as the basis for a red-and-black pendant on a beaded chain. The sky is the limit with shrink art, so you can freehand or use specific designs for inspiration. Adding sparkly faceted beads along both sides of the adjustable chain, and as a decorative dangle at the clasped end, is a fun way to embellish the overall design.

    Susan Beal is a contributor at Craftstylish, a site dedicated to do-it-yourself crafts and fashionable art projects! Below, she shares a fun how-to on decorating your own jewelry set! This fun, sparkly set of painted and embellished pendant and earrings was inspired by my super-talented friend Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica herself! I started with plain wood discs from the craft store and added elements from her new line of crafty delights, but you can fancy yours up with any visual imagery and details you like. You'll need: Three wooden discs (I used one 1.5-inch circle and two 1-inch circles), acrylic paint, a paintbrush, jewelry adhesive, pendant bail, jump rings or soldered rings, three paper images of your choice, the same size or smaller than your discs, sharp scissors, craft glue, clear gloss varnish, three charms of your choice, rhinestones or other flat-backed embellishments, pliers, earring wires, a chain with a clasp.

    I love making skirts in the springtime, and while playing around with some recycled T-shirts a couple of years ago, I came up with this design, which I still love! I've made four skirts like this so far, and plan on making many more! All you really need are two T-shirts and a sewing machine, but you can choose to add an elastic or drawstring waistband for extra security, or if you're a more experienced sewer, I'm sure you could add your own touches to make your skirt a bit more elaborate. This basic design is simple enough for anyone who can use scissors and sew a straight line! For your T-shirts, it will work better if they are similar thickness and stretchiness, and, of course, choose coordinating colors. By following the instructions exactly, the bigger the shirts are, the more your skirt will flare out, but if you want to use big T-shirts without so much flare, you can just cut your pieces smaller. This also goes for if you want to use two different sizes-- you can cut the bigger shirt's pieces to be the same size as the smaller shirt. Keep in mind your skirt's length will be a bit shorter than the shortest T-shirt's length, so don't choose too-small shirts!
