WHAT TO MAKE: envelope clutch

These cute little envelope pouches can be used to  protect your glasses, keep your make up in one convenient case, or replace your wallet. I think they're absolutely adorable, and they look so easy to make. I am looking for a new wallet (the zipper on my last one broke), so this would be a great DIY to try out.

WHAT TO MAKE: painted porcelain

What's not to love about painted porcelain? They add a lovely DIY and Scandinavian inspired touch to your home. I especially like these DIY's, which really play up the sharp contrast between the black drawn lines and the clean white ceramic.

WHAT TO MAKE: leather projects

Warm, rustic leather combined with touches of cool metal make for beautifully modern pieces for you and your home. I've always had a fondness for leather; it's so sturdy and versatile. It's no wonder that I found these leather DIY's so appealing with their straight cut edges and metal pieces to complement.
