Tuesday Trend (On A Thursday) – Shine Bright Like A Diamond
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend…but if you can’t have the real thing, then today’s Tuesday Trend is the next best thing! Jewel themed crafts are popping up all over the web lately…although I like to think I started it back with my candy mold I love to use, most recently for Valentine’s Day treats. But I’m not that vain…I don’t think this post is about me.
Of course, now that I have gems on the brain, I’m thinking about Jem And The Holograms, my favorite 80’s cartoon…She’s truly outrageous…truly, truly outrageous!
Anyways, I love how Design*Sponge used her mold for DIY gem pushpins.
Sadly, these coasters from Kate Spade are no longer available…but I bet a crafty person could make their own version with chipboard and cardstock?
Turn washi tape into gem wall art with Bash Please…
…and Objects And Use.
How about making a few cookie gem necklaces with Handmade Charlotte?
And my very favorite, create your own paper diamonds with Minieco. I am slightly tempted to make a few for my bling baby shower shoot in sparkly paper. She also has templates for other gem shapes.








Alright Ri-Ri, time to get our sparkle on!!
