An Accessory A Week 2014

week 13 – embroidered felt hair band “therese”

An Accessory A Week – Week 13 (This is the last of my post on this particular topic as I’m putting it on hold until further notice due to my bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome) I made this hair band with leftover felt some time ago for a young friend of mine for her 8th birthday.

week 11 – upcycled plastics for hair slide

An Accessory A Week – Week 11 This is one I made earlier (which is interpreted as “before my delicate hands are in splints and I was told to STOP crafting!”); I wrapped plastic bottle cut-outs in satin bias tape and made them into little flowers, attached a few faux pearls then secured them on…

week 10 – upcycled plastics for necklace “ivory”

week 9 – upcycled plastics for hair stick “emerald”

An Accessory A Week – Week 9 One more hair stick before I move on to other accessories…. I like green, and it’s very easy to go with a lot of my outfits. Still sticking to the same old materials – plastic bottle cut-outs, satin bias tape, cultured pearls and chopstick…

week 8 – upcycled plastics for hair stick “shiraz”

An Accessory A Week – Week 8 Oops! I know I am one week behind with the posting of my weekly accessory, well, it was just that I had a really crappy week at work last week and when I got home every day I was mentally exhausted and taking out my laptop and continue…

week 7 – upcycled plastics for hair stick “grace”

An Accessory A Week – Week 7 A very simple project for this week — a chopstick dressed up with cut-outs from plastic mineral water bottle wrapped in satin bias tape (what else but my favourite materials? :)) and made into a little flower with faux pearls added, and ta-da, a hair stick! I found…

week 5 – upcycled plastics for brooch “charlotte”

An Accessory A Week – Week 5 Due to my travelling out of the country for work in the past week I was pretty behind with my posts for this particular project and I posted the projects for the last 2 weeks only last night. 😦 Good thing is I’m catching up and here’s the…
