Feathery Fun Fashions

This week at DIY night at Mars Cafe we spent the evening creating lovely hair accessories. Yes, I am sorry all you guys out there, this was a very girly project and I promise that our next DIY night on the 24th of March will not be so frilly. (p.s. it's block printing so go to the Art store and order supplies because they don't stock much.)

We were deep in feathers, fabric, and fun. HA! :)


Many great little creations were made that you very well could see selling for large amounts of $$'s on Etsy.More pictures of our great pieces on my flickr.

If you were not able to come out and join us for this last DIY night we will be having our next creative evening March 24th, 7-9pm. Block Printing is on the agenda and I advise that you get supplies soon because there is not a large stock of it in Des Moines. Either the Art Store or Hobby Lobby. Purchase the Speedball Block Printing Starter Kit or all the items separately.

DIY Fashion Accessories

This coming Tuesday is another evening of Do It Yourself at Mars Cafe from 7-9 pm.

We will be making lovely headbands fashioned from feathers, fabric, and more.

If you are an avid Etsy fan you may have seen this fashion trend showing up here and there on the front page of Treasury as well as on blogs and fashion magazines.

These hair items are being sold anywhere from $25 to $120 and I know we can make them for much less.

Here are some Etsy sellers that I have been admiring their lovelies. Check them out for inspiration.
