DIY leather pocket tee

I love the fake leather leggings that people have been wearing lately but I'm just not sure I could rock them quite yet! While we love the addition of leather pieces to some of the more favorite fall trends but we figured we would take it slow. Which is why we figured just adding one little leather pocket would do the trick.  This shirt was so easy to make! First we cut the collar off of an old thrifted tee shirt and cut bottom hem into a high/low bottom to make it look a little...classier. Then we cut out a piece of leather into a pocket shape and fastened it on with some fabric glue. That easy! This shirt could seriously be styled with anything. It is soft and comfortable and the little pop of leather adds so much to an outfit.  What leather items have you added to your fall wardrobe? -a clover & a bee

DIY leather feather necklace

Last week, while relaxing in the art building assuming spring was coming (it snowed...), I decided it would be fun to try my hand at some jewelry making, so I whipped out my hot glue gun and some feathers and got to work. This necklace turned out to be super easy!

You'll need: glue (my hot glue gun worked wonders), scissors, leather, some sort of chain or rope, and feathers.

First you'll need to cut out your leather piece. To do this I cut out a 3x4 inch rectangle and then folded it in half and made a triangle shape at both ends. You can really cut out whatever shape you'd like though.

Next, glue feathers that are about the same length on half of the leather piece (make sure not to cross over the mid line!) I put enough feathers on to cover that half twice, so it wouldn't look wimpy.

Then you'll need to choose how long you want your chain, rope, or leather string to be and line it up on the mid-line of your leather piece. Then fold over and glue!



It seriously only took my like 10 minutes to make and now I wear it almost everyday! It makes more simply outfits look less boring (plus it looks great with a pair of moccasins)
