DIY Under $5

By 5 Comments

In the spirit of De-stash, this week I made a necklace using only what I had on hand. T-shirt DIY anyone?
What have you been up to?


I enjoy your $5 projects so much that I decided to add an addition link section for anything under $15! That’s right. It will open up a place to show additional projects that can’t be purchased with an Abe Lincoln, but are still totally affordable! I can’t wait to see more from you!


Please remember:

  • Only link to your own projects that cost you $5 or less (price does not have to include items you had on hand) or $15 or less in the 2nd section.
  • You can link past projects that fit the dollar limit, but please only link each project one time to one DIY Under $5 party. Do not link the same project week after week.
  • No linking giveaways or items for sale
  • Please link back so others can join the party and so you have the opportunity to be featured on Saturday!

Tshirt DIY Necklace

By 12 Comments

Are you ready for the first project in The Great De-stash Bash series? We snagged an old gray t-shirt out of the donate pile and turned it in to a fun T-shirt DIY Necklace. This is so easy even your kids could do it and the best thing is with jersey it is always so comfortable!!
 T-shirt DIY Necklace Supplies:
T-shirt
Scissors
Hot Glue gun
No really, that’s it!

1. Cut off the sleeve right next to the seam. Then cut off about two inches of the widest part and pull to stretch so the jersey rolls in the raw edges. This is your necklace. Told you it was easy.
2. Make some rosettes (there are 1000 tutorials out there on this so I won’t bore you) with additional strips of  the T-shirt and hot glue, off center, on to the “necklace.” I did 5 alternating big and small rosettes, but the possibilities are endless.

Total cost: $0
Duh, it’s part of the de-stash. I had everything on hand.
I wore my T-shirt DIY Necklace with a pink maxi dress last Sunday and got so many compliments. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic of it on. Story of my life.
I would love to see if you make your own! It would make a super easy and cheap Girls Camp Craft if you have a plug.
If you liked this T-shirt DIY Necklace, there is more to come from The Great De-Stash bash! Stay tuned.

The Great De-stash Bash {GIVEAWAYS}

By 17 Comments

I’ve been doing a little spring cleaning and realized how much stuff I have. Like obnoxious amounts of stuff. So much that my bins and stacks are beginning to teeter and my craft desk was not visible. An intervention is in order, a major one. One that is going to last all month and be a heck of a lot of fun. We’re talking de-stash folks, and it ain’t gonna be small. There will be tutorials, re-fashions, all the good stuff that comes along with using up your stash.We’re starting it out with a bang and giving away two HUGE packs of stuff straight from my collection.
De-stash Bash Paint & Adhesive Pack


De-stash Bash Scrap Lovers Pack
 Cherish Bound intro pack, & TONS more paper, stickers, and scrapbooking supplies not shown. 
Fabric & TaraDara business card holder
As you can see most of the items are brand spankin’ new in their packaging. They need a good home. Will you promise to give them the love and creativity they deserve? Here’s the nitty gritty.
GIVEAWAY RULES: 
(do not enter if you are not willing to do the following)
1. You must be a follower of A Little Tipsy. I like giving stuff to my friends.
2. You must make something with at least one item from the box and do a guest post on A Little Tipsy displaying your creation (preferably at the end of March summing up de-stash month, but we’re flexible).
