Recycled Glass Beaded Bracelet in Black from Ghana

These canning jars were given a colorful, frosted makeover with specialty craft paint to look like sea glass and milk glass, respectively.

Tell recipients of these gorgeously textured accessories that you relied on kumihimo (translation: gathered threads), the ancient Japanese braiding technique, to create them.

To mimic icy branches, we used acrylic tubing and wintry blue beads.

Understand these processes in order to best dispose of your trash.

If you like to live on the bright side, dress up your colorful patterned plates with matte-finish flatware and a charming bow topper: Cinch a napkin in the middle using a playful elastic adorned with wooden beads. Add a circle name tag for each guest to round out the look.

When having guests for dinner, the last thing you want to do after spending so much time and energy cooking is worry about making a tablescape. In fact, you can create gorgeous, colorful accessories in under fifteen minutes with items you already have on hand.

We traded the original inset glass top of an inexpensive side table for a creamy custom-tiled one.

Using the glass paint's unique consistency, this whirly-twirly look is achieved by slowly rotating the glass while swirling the paint.

Colorful beaded bracelets have signaled summer for as long as the coolest counselors at camp have been stacking them up their wrists.

Nothing says 2gether 4ever like a friendship bracelet, and this technique is so speedy, you can weave one for every member of your inner circle.
