DIY Overdose & Happy Holidays!

Hand felted, wool stars. So easy to make and are great for ornaments or gift embellishments. You need felting wool, felting needles, and a cookie cutter of your choice. The felting supplies can be found at your local yarn shop.

Handmade wreath made from recycled magazines. There's a great how-to on Design Sponge. I just replaced the paper they suggested with an old Anthropologie catalogue.

Great, super easy gift idea. I made these out of an old fabric swatch. I used light weight rivets that you can find at any craft shop.

Not quite finished with this one. A necklace for my sister using leftover fabric from another project. I cut out flower-like shapes and strung them onto the necklace, sewing the petals together at the base to give that semi-closed look. It frays as its worn, but that's the beauty of it! Also going to add a monogrammed gold tag to help weigh down the center of the piece.
PomPom ornaments made with tissue paper! They look adorable on a tree or tied to a gift.
