Studs: How do I love the, let me count the pairs!

My newest obsession: Studs! I have brought a total of 7 pairs in the past couple of months. Every time I got to the store, I am on the search for some unique studs. I have no idea where this obsession came from; its more like a passion.

I brought the following:

Tiffany Studs-These are classic studs. When I put them in, I keep them in for a couple of days. I know what you are thinking, how could you sleep in them?!?! Well, I just do. They suggested that I don't, but its the only way that I will keep these $100 studs safe.


Lauren Conrad Studs-I LOVE these. They have a rose-gold finish to them, which goes really well with the necklace that I got from H&M. I think that these were under $10 when I brought them from Kohl's.


Silver Studs-I have these in as I type. They are my favorite and give me what I call 'the librarian look'; they are perfect for work. I am really thinking about getting them in white gold with better backs. The ones that I currently have are silver and they are starting to tarnish because I wear them so much. Also, the backs are constantly coming off of them. I got these from NY&Co. for an insanely low amount.



Charlotte Russe Pyramid Trio-I am not sure why I cannot get a picture of them, but its like the best of all worlds! My favorite are the pyramid ones. The antique gold look...cute.

No, I am not done yet! I am in the process of making a pair of button studs. It should be coming up in a Krafts post soon. I have some fabric that I want to use as well as some new fabric that I brought.

Do you love studs of all kinds? Post yours below!

Krafts!!

Feeling inspired and slightly bored, I created this jewelery board. It's spring cleaning in my house and I have about a hundred accessories that were stuffed in bags, lying all over the place and just not being used because I didn't know what I have. After browsing a couple of pins, and taking a look at a couple of YouTube videos, I came up with what you see above: A Kara Dee Original!

It was super easy to do. Even though, I didn't have good scissors, or pins to correctly pin the placement of the fabric, it was finished in about a half hour. The cost including the cork board frame, fabric, ribbon, and push pins around $15.

With the left over fabric, I am going to make some button earrings for my mother and me. Well, actually it may be some gifts to friends, as well. I have a lot of fabric left over. Maybe I will dye parts of it so that everyone doesn't just get black and white earrings.

It felt so good to exercise my creativity and my mind making this jewelery board. Be on the lookout for other Krafts!
