Red lips are a print I’ve already adored — in style, in art, in any form — for years, yet this average girl has never been totally sure she can pull it off in a major way. So when I saw the Scotch Colors and Patterns Duct Tape print I knew it was my opportunity to create something I could wear for a little sexy sass…. and a belt perfectly bit the bill. I mean how good is this print?? I’m so smitten, and perk: this DIY is so easy that even this DIY + time-time challenged gal easily pulled it off!
SUPPLIES
Scotch Colors and Patterns Duct Tape in Pucker Up, Black and Red
Scotch Precision Scissors (ps: most amazing/best cutting scissors!)
Black belt (this one is flat, good width and under $10)

Hey TAGG readers! I’m back from over at Thanks, I Made It with a new DIY for you. When you’re an absolute jewelry fiend like me and my girl Alyson here, you tend to crave solutions to store your baubles just as much as your next statement necklace. With my ever-growing collection of rings and earrings (lots of DIY earrings over at Thanks, I Made It!), I need a clear way to organize and display them that is pretty and functional.
Tools and materials:
Velvet or other soft, cushiony fabric (I used a long piece 6 1/2 x 54 inches, folded in half)
Foam core
Small box (this one from a baublebar purchase!)
Craft knife and/or scissors
Ruler
Decorative paper
Hot glue and glue gun
Check out how easily this box transforms in the pictures and tutorial after the jump…{you know you’re curious!}

Welcome back DIY contributor, Erin, of Thanks, I Made It, for a bracelet I am so ready to add to my arm stack (would love this with my white MK watch!) to add a little color to any outfit. Don’t worry if this matches… just leave it on for the long haul… err, at least until mid-September. Take it away, Erin….
ERIN: When I saw this
bracelet from Chan Luu, I knew I had my next DIY. Spring is around the corner, and what better heralds in the season than a brightly woven piece of wrist wear? (PS- you could easily use extra crystals to make these
earrings with these
simple steps!) You could use a single color of cord, but I like playing with two different colors for a bright look.
Tools and materials:
Baguette or rectangle shaped crystals/rhinestones in sew-on setting (I used
these)
Scissors
Tape
Clear nail polish (optional, but helpful!)
Ya know the elastic hair ties in a million colors that everyone wears around their wrist? There’s a good chance they’re Emi-Jay, the “designer” elastic hair brand that can cost $10-$12 for just five, max. I’ve been wanting to make a more affordable version — and headbands, too — when my good friend P suggested I do so, and led me to an Etsy shop selling satin elastic. Perfect! This is the fastest DIY, and doesn’t require much patience or attention (so hint: you can watch the housewives, or kardashians, at the same time). All about the smart multi-tasking!
All you need:
- Yards of satin elastic, 5/8″ wide (I purchased 10, one of each color, there’s dozens, at Elastics by the Yard)
- Scissors
- Ruler (but you can get away without)
