DIY - FRIENDSHIP BRACELET HEADPHONES

So I have been simultaneously working on a bunch of DIY projects, which is why I haven't posted many recently.  I'll start one, then see another I have to try, and another, and another... I maybe have about 6 unfinished project right now.  Don't worry, they will all be completed soon.  One I did manage to complete was this awesome pair of friendship  bracelet headphone.  I saw a pair on Pinterest (follow me!), and since I just got the neon embroidery pack from here, I went ahead and stopped everything else and made these!


They are so fun, and I feel like I have a hair wrap!

(P.S. I have been putting embossed labels on everything that might need a label this label maker is awesome!)

RED AND GOLD COIN PURSE

I have desperately been needing a small coin purse or wallet to put my ID, debit card, and metro card in while using a small bag.  I hate throwing things into a small bag and then having to dump everything out to find my metro card or something.  I loved the post on I Spy DIY of the gold clutch, but I rarely carry a clutch so I wanted to use this idea to make something else.  (I rarely carry a clutch because I'm always afraid I'll put it down somewhere and forget it, also, I really dislike carrying things in my hands {I always have a nylon grocery bag or tote on me so I can throw purchases and things over my shoulder/ I carry a backpack a lot}, also if I'm carrying a small bag, chances are I will end up dancing and I can't be bothered with a clutch in my hand.)

Getting back to the point of this post... I made a mini version!


It was super simple and took less than 10 minutes, I didn't use gold spray paint but used the same paint from here.
