Styled by Tori Inspiration

0 · Oct 30, 2012 · Leave a Comment

With the crafting season in full swing everyone is looking for great new ideas to share with family and friends. I’ve talked about them before but I have fallen in love with the Styled by Tori line of fashion accessories. I have all kinds of ideas up my sleeve right now for the holidays, but I thought I would share some of my favorite ideas that I’ve found so far…

With Halloween so close I thought I would place this one first, you can file it away for next year. Amy from Positively Splendid used a lovely piece from the Styled by Tori collection to create this fun spider web pillow.

Amy also created these felt poppies and lace brooches that I just ADORE!!

Heidi from Sew.Craft.Create created this whole nautical set with Styled by Tori and it’s just divine!

I love this bracelet from Christina at Intimate Weddings… Truly a classic piece.

Christina also made these stylish Styled by Tori napkin rings that would be PERFECT for your Thanksgiving tables.

I’ve always admired Megan from Brassy Apple’s style and she takes it to a new level with her Styled by Tori creations. Her cluster brooch and cuff bracelets would dress any ensemble up!

What have you been working on with all of the fun Styled by Tori products? I would love to see what you’ve been working on!! Visit the Styled by Tori Facebook page for even more inspiration. Then you can visit your local Michaels or Jo-Anns to stock up on supplies for all that winter crafting!!

Cute Little Spooky Spiders for Halloween Decor

52 · Oct 29, 2012 · 9 Comments

Looking for a fun, last minute Halloween idea? Need something simple that takes less than a minute to make? How about a cute little spooky spider to add to your Halloween décor…

For a few years I’ve seen those metal spider leg cupcake holders that you use to add a little creepy crawly to your Halloween cupcakes and thought… It would be so fun to make something with those cute legs rather than just a cupcake. Then it hit me… why not take a black Christmas ornament, turn it upside down onto the legs and add some googlie eyes. How cute will that be. Here’s what you will need…

Black Christmas ornaments (I used the glitter kind, but it doesn’t matter)
Spider cupcake holders
Large self-adhesive google eyes

All you have to do in invert the Christmas ornament onto the cupcake holder like this…

No need to glue them together if you don’t want. I decided that I wanted to keep my options open, so I didn’t glue them together. I have commitment issues. Then you can place the eyes wherever you see fit and voila, your done! Now all you have to do is find some fun spots to place these cute little creepy crawlies.

I used mine in this year’s Halloween mantle and just fell in love with these little buggers. Take that… a Halloween craft in less than a minute! What’s your favorite quickie holiday craft?

Jewelry Organizer with Styled by Tori

1 · Oct 24, 2012 · 1 Comment

I’m one of those girls who just can’t leave well enough alone when something could us a little dressing up. That’s why I am soooo in love with the entire line of Styled by Tori products!! They make it so easy to dress-up yourself or dress-up a fun project that you are working on.

I decided that I needed to “dress-up” a fun jewelry organizer for all of my Styled by Tori goodies. I picked a couple of pieces that I thought would look great with a plain jane hanger that I found at Pick your Plum.

I grabbed my trusty E-6000 and glued the two pieces together. I let them cure overnight just to make sure the bond was secure. Then I used the E-6000 to glue the newly created cluster directly to the plain jane hanger…

How simple is that. Now I have the perfect place to display my Styled by Tori creations that I use to “dress-up” ME!!

I simply adore every single collection in the Styled by Tori family. Each one has it’s own look and feel and are so fun to work with. You can find the Styled by Tori line at Michaels (by the way, October is jewelry month at Michaels some great deals out there) and Jo-Ann's.

Let me know what you would like to make with some Styled by Tori goodies! Do you like to “dress-up” yourself or “dress-up” fun projects?

Here are a couple of other projects that I’ve used Styled by Tori to add a little icing to the cake…

Polka Dot Jars

Polka Dot Jars // If you have followed WhipperBerry for any time at all, you know I love my jars. I love to bake with jars, decorate with jars, organize with jars… you name it, I ADORE jars. This week I found another fun, yet simple way to dress up my jars with DecoArt Glass Paint …

Isn’t this a fun way to dress up your jars for an event? It couldn’t be simpler with DecoArts Glass Paint 3D Frost Gloss Enamels…

DecoArt sent me a bunch of their glass paint to take for a spin. I was madly getting ready for my last minute trip to Hawaii, so I didn’t have a ton of time to create a painted masterpiece. I did however have just enough time to dress up a jar and then I had a thought… This would be so fun for a birthday party or shower, basically any type of event where you would like to add a little playful fun element to the party. The nice part it hardly takes any time at all to create these fun polka dot jars.

Supply List

Ball quilted 8 oz. jelly jars
DecoArt 3D Frost Gloss Enamels {you can find this at Michaels over with the glass vases and stuff. Isn’t that cool… the glass paint has it’s very own section!!}
Mason daisy drinking lids
Stripped straws

Instructions

Make sure your jars are clean inside and out. Wipe down the outside of the jar with alcohol to prepare it for the paint.
Select your 3D Frosted Gloss Enamel color and using the handy tip just start placing dots at the tip of every diamond on the quilted glass jar.
Let dry completely, this takes a few hours or best over night.
Fill with your party beverage, screw on the lid and top it off with the fancy straw.
Line up your jars on a table or tray and your guests will be amazed!!

How easy is that!! Seriously, you could get a whole parties worth of jars painted in no time at all. Give it a go and let me know what you think!
