[DIY] Necklace Holder

Women have so much to organize! Ever have that dreaded jewelry box situation? You know, the kind when everything is all tangled up and then later on you rediscover necklaces you already forgot you had? Fear not, for I have stumbled upon this great DIY project that'll help solve those problems in a beautifully decorative way.

Materials:
  • Flat board
  • Assorted door knobs
  • Saw-tooth hangers
  • Hand drill

Directions:

1. First off, you need a flat board to attach the door knobs onto. This can be barn wood or driftwood, its edges need not be even or just buy a piece from a home improvement store and distress it a bit, you can even have it painted. You can collect an eclectic mix of new or old door knobs from antique shops or flea markets.

2. Measure the spaces where you want the door knobs, mark them with a pen and then drill the holes for the knobs using a hand drill.

3. Screw the door knobs onto the board via the already drilled holes then attach saw-tooth hangers at the back.

[DIY] Workout Tank Top

You can wear this casual racerback to your workout and then dress it up with a lacy bandeau when you meet your friends for a bite to eat afterwards. Turn your basic into a chic little number and go hit the gym like you own it!

DIY Workout Tank Top
Makes 1 sexy little tank
Source: rabbitfoodformybunnyteeth.com

Ingredients:
1 old T-shirt
1 pair of scissors
20 minutes

1. Start with a pre-washed T-shirt. Any old shirt will do! The bigger the better.

2. Cut away the ribbed neckline and bottom hem. For the sleeves, cut downwards starting from the shoulder, determining how thick you want your straps. Cut straight down and then begin to curve down below the armpit seam.

3. Determine how low you want your front neckline, and cut away.

4. Flip the shirt over and make a narrow racerback, curving inward from the armpits.  Then cut a deep “V” shape from the top neckline.

5. Using the excess bottom hemline, stretch it out until it becomes one long string of fabric. Knot the string a couple of inches above the bottom of the “V” shape.

6. Wrap the string all the way down around the center of the racerback, and back up to meet the other ends. Knot the ends together tightly. Trim the loose ends.

7. To give your tank a high-low look, lay your shirt sideways, flattening it out evenly. Starting a few inches up at the front of your shirt, start cutting diagonally until you reach the back.

Throw it on with some cute yogis, grab your water, and hit the gym!
