I've always wanted to know how to decoupage and I know its pretty easy and can yield fabulous results to just about anything. In keeping with the DIY back to school dorm fashion, How About Orange gives this great tutorial on how to turn a simple glass vase in a piece of decoupage artwork by using old sheet music and mod podge. It's similar to Meg's wood / glue / inspirational photo...
Last Fall/Winter saw the beginning of the exposed zipper trend, and it certainly carried full force over into the current and upcoming season. I love exposed zippers - they're a sleek way to lend a deconstructed vibe to any piece of clothing, and they couldn't be simpler to DIY.
Setting an exposed zipper is incredibly easy, and Expert Village has a great video from crafter Candi...
One of our favorite people in the world has gotta be Hippie Adrien. You may have seen his rad DIY videos dispersed in various Threadbanger Episodes. But we havent seen him around all summer long. Then this video popped up on Youtube and I was relieved to see he was still with us. Hippie Adrien could be the coolest person alive...from the Dreads to the hacky sack to the yo yo tricks and...

I'm thinking about cutting my hair short, like really short, shorter than it's ever been, which would mean no more pulling it back every day to get it out of my face. So I'm thinking, at least until I get used to the new 'do, I'll need lots of headbands and clippy things to help me adjust. This roundup wasn't as successful as I'd hoped it would be, not many hair projects out there that I like,...

A stud is a vertical member in the light frame construction of a building's wall. It is important to know where your wall studs are located when hanging heavy objects like shelves.

Last night was the 15th anniversary of Bust Magazine- that saucy mag for women who need a little more strange and different than is featured in Vogue and Marie Claire.
