50 Chic DIY Accessories

From DIY Mantra Bracelets to Reinvented Footwear Tutorials

— July 29, 2012 — Art & Design
These chic DIY accessories show how much people can do on their own.

The popularity of blogs has made DIY projects incredibly popular over the past few years, and the ideas range all the way from furniture to shoes. With such variety, and with these homemade creations being so stylish, it's no surprise that a few fashionable accessory tutorials would make a splash on the web. Though many at-home projects with this focus tend to be jewelry, shoes and even phone covers have been turned into DIY endeavors.

More affordable than buying new, and with the bonus of a personal twist, these accessories show the skills and style of those bold enough to create them.
