I DIYed, I Died.




I did a DIY! I don't do too many DIY projects, usually because they either wind up costing a bunch to make or come out looking too "crafty," but when I saw this braided hex nut project on Honestly...WTF I was like OKAY that I could do. Their version is a little more lady like, but I went for some heavier hex nuts – I like the weight of them. I made one bracelet with black, one with neon yellowishgreen, and a necklace with staggered groupings of nuts with a mix of neon orange and yellowishgreen cord. I wanted to make a million more but eventually I ran out of nuts (awwww nuts).

I wore these with my crazy pink scarf from Ecuador out to a friend's birthday party, and got lots of compliments, I can't wait to make more and try out some new materials/styles. I got a few requests for special projects, now I just need the hardware store to open so I can get crackin' on these bitches!

What do you think?? Would you wear these? Would you buyyy these?



I'm nuts for nuts @toomanyronis
