Glam headphones are the latest it-accessory; and just as you wouldn’t toss your favorite necklace or earrings into your purse, these gems also deserve a special vessel. These rose gold adorned Ella Earbuds by Frends are our current fav, and they’ve inspired us to create this on-the-go case that keeps our ear candy handy and untangled.
To create: Use a sharpie to trace the pattern onto the backside of a piece of leather, then cut out. Punch a hole, with a leather punch, large enough to allow the headphone jack to pass through. Stitch on snap closures using needle and thread. Finish it off by using a dab of glue to adhere a flat back stud to the opposing side of each snap for a fun detail.Need a playlist to match your new earbud accessory?Curated by The Jane DozeP.S. - taco illustration by Iva Jericevic
Did you know that Pantone chips evolved from a solution to help shoppers choose precise shades of pantyhose*? Fifty years later, Pantone’s universe of hues is the standard relied upon by every industry that deals with color; so, it was only a matter of time that they’d start defining trends as well. Pantone declared Emerald as 2013’s Color of the Year…and since we’re also celebrating the Year of The Snake, this week’s DIY links both milestones together and keeps you up-to-date with a tassel necklace that would leave even Queen Medusa herself green with envy.
To create: Add a wood bead to the top of each tassel. Separate links on theacrylic chain and link tassels on, placing longest tassel in the center of the chain. Knot each end of the chain with metallic rope (or opt for ribbon), and tie to finish off.Get down with DIY and a dope playlistCurated by The Jane Doze
