DIY One (or Two) Bracelets For National Friendship Day

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 15:36:13 PDT

Life is nothing without friends. It might sound like an over-dramatized statement, but who would we be if we didn't have a buddy to play with in elementary school, a loyal friend to help us go through those (annoying) growing pains in middle school, a BFF to hang with all throughout high school, and a college gal pal to talk you through boy troubles? Hopefully, some of these friendships have withstood the test of time, and with National Friendship Day around the corner (Monday, Aug. 8), we suggest you surprise your nearest and dearest with the ultimate offering: a friendship bracelet. Instead of buying one at a cutesy boutique, we suggest you DIY your own version and make it extra special.

Duh DIY: Stud Mix and Match

FabSugar — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:00:22 PDT

Earrings usually come in a pair. Like, two peas in a pod, two wheels on a bike, two fabulous shoes . . . a double rainbow! PartySugar lost an earring back on her way to work this morning and we discussed her sporting the one earring style - totally acceptable, especially with double piercings. Then I spotted these Wendy Nichol Mix & Match Studs ($210) and thought to myself: I have so many cool studs, why not just mix and match my own? Studs are the safest place to begin this DIY, the bigger you go, the more glances you'll get. That is up to you. Shall we give it a whirl?

Come Fab Finding With Me: Screen Printing Party!

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:00:22 PST

I recently heard about an awesome DIY spot in San Francisco: Workshop. The genesis of a self-proclaimed DIY-er, Workshop houses a ton of fun classes - complete with a rad DJ and free beer - for the cool and crafty. Soon, it will be hosting an amazing screen printing party, and you know I'll be there with my blank canvases. Since paint (and beer) are involved, it might get a tad messy. Can you help me piece together a fun 'fit?

I plan on pulling my hair back for maximum functionality, so I'll show off my lobes with these Alexis Bittar Neon Pyramid Earrings ($95); so artsy and abstract.

Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Screen Printing Party. Now, you can build outfits by creating your very own widget of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when completing your Fab Finding missions. Learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one. And here's a detailed explanation of bookmarks from GeekSugar.

Style Bandit concurs - DIYs are so fun. What a stud she is in her DIY jeans, inspired by a pair of stud-pocket jeans model Hanneli Mustaparta wore at Paris Fashion Week. Style Bandit basically took a pair of lightwash jeans, tore open one of the pockets, and adorned the inside with silver studs. Jean-ius!

Here's what she's wearing:
Jeans: Forever 21

Fab DIY: Blingin' Shoe Chains

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:00:22 PDT

Currently, I'm in love with shoe chains, but I'm not in love with paying an exorbitant amount for them. So what to do? DIY them, of course! It all came together in a matter of a day - I kid you not. I set out on a hunt for the perfect chain bracelets in the afternoon, found them an hour later, and transformed them into shoe chains that night. OK, it sounds easier than it was, but luckily, I paved the way for you to follow on a relatively bump-free path . . .
