Get crafty crafty

I decided it might be fun to weave a Levi jacket! They have been coming back "in" and I thought this might put a nice spin on it! This is my finished product.

I should have taken more pictures along my process, but I didn't. All I did was cut the legs off of two pairs of jeans and cut down the seam. Next I cut strips horizontally without cutting them all the way off, just leave a small edge. I did the same thing with the other pair of jeans but cut them vertically. Next I just weaved them together! I got one other pair of older jeans and used the thigh area of them to make the front two pieces and just sewed them to the weaved section. Next, I went and bought a $5 sweatshirt from Walmart and sewed it all together! Didn't take very long and it was pretty simple! I am very happy with my finished product! :)

I'm a poor college student surrounded by thrift stores. What's a girl to do?

My newest craft consists of only things that I found at the DI! Watch out world, I'm gettin' crafty!

Being a poor college student sure makes you see how expensive this world is. So when you have no money and live in a town of thrift stores, you become a crafter--that is right, a crafter. This summer I decided to put my best crafting skills to to the test and modernize a 40 year old desk. Being a girl and liking flashy things, I decided gold sparkles would be my best bet. Here is my finished product. 

Impressive right? More of this to come, I am a crafty chick. See you next time.
