DIY Suede Chokers

DIY Suede Chokers quick and easy.

I’ve been seeing suede chokers everywhere lately and I knew immediately that these would not only be easy to make, but would cost less to make than to buy–which isn’t always the case for crafts these days.

I got most of my supplies at Walmart and whipped these all up in one night.

DIY Suede Choker Materials:

–Faux Suede (I got mine at Walmart, but they only sell it instore.)
-Set of jewelry pliers
–Ribbon Crimps
–Barrel Clasps
–Measuring Tape

I’ve included how I made each necklace below.  You may also want some pretty beads or decals, painters tape, and some metallic paint depending on what chokers you want to make.

DIY Temporary Hair Color

DIY Temporary Hair Color! Coats the hair so it works on all colors, looks great, and washes out completely on the first wash. Where has this been all my life? Ion Airbrush tint for the win!

Fun Fact: I have two different shades of semi-permanent pink hair color in my stash that I’ve never been brave enough to actually use.  After months of staring at them, I realized I needed to go a more temporary route.  When I saw that Ion had released a new hair color spray, Ion Airbrush Tints, I was instantly intrigued.  Imagine my surprise when it turned out to look just as authentic as actually dyeing my hair, yet still washed out completely!  I get so many compliments every time I use it, and I love that I can go back and forth.

While you can get these Ion Airbrush Tints on Amazon, they are often cheaper to buy from Sally’s website using one of their promo codes.   They have 5 different colors, and so far I have purchased Magenta and Fuchsia.  These shades are actually really close, I’ll post a comparison below.  For my tutorial video, I am only using Magenta.

You can see the slight difference between these two shades of Ion Airbrush Tint.

For your convenience, I made a quick video tutorial illustrating how I apply the color.

Overall, I LOVE the results, let me know what you think if you decide to try it too!

Transitional Pieces from Pink Blush

Transitional Maternity Pieces from Pink Blush

Disclaimer:  That is TOTALLY a fake bump (if that wasn’t obvious).

I really have to hand it to Pink Blush for making clothes that look cute whether you are rocking a big belly or not.  I got a few items from them back when I was pregnant with baby #2.  And while most of my maternity clothes get thrown in a storage box after the baby makes its debut, my pieces from Pink Blush stay in my closet because they can do both.

Ladies, get you some clothes that can do both–maternity and regular!

The tunic above is actually a dress.

I instantly loved the style of this bell sleeve boho dress.  Throw a belt on it to emphasize your waist when you have one, and wear it alone to show off your bump when you have one.  There’s several different color options as well.

*I did add about 2.5 inches to the inner lining of the dress to make it end closer to the lace trim.  Totally not necessary, but I’m 5’9 and prefer some extra length.

Starting February 9th at 12 noon,  Pink Blush and I are giving away $50 to their store on my Instagram.  Enter here!
