DIY Winter Turban/Earwarmer.




All around I've been seeing These Braided Knit Ear-warmers, or Headbands, or Half-turbans. Whatever you wanna call them, they are here and they are CutE! But, cheap as I am, I knew there was a way to do this myself. So... hee ya go. Easy Peasy.

My girlfriend is Moving back to the US and is trying to Downsize. SO, she offered me these three beautiful green scarves and instantly got my wheels turning. :)

Step 1. Roll all three scarves on the diagonal.























Step 2: Tie a small knot at the ends.










Step 3: Braid the three pieces together in a loose braid and finish with another small knot.
















Step 4: Tie the two ends together and back braid all the stray ends back into tour Ear warmer. VOILA!
Urban Turban!











Winter Boot Revamp.


Bought these expensive sturdy boots last year. They had two leather straps that tied in a knot on the back. They looked great at first. Nice and sturdy. As time wore on, they looked a little sad and droopy. They came untied 1 too many times!!! So....... A revamp was necessary. Here are the results. I am quite pleased indeed.

I was inspired by the "Eye of Horus" shape for the detail.
I cut the two leather straps and joined them at the back center.
Added silver studs and some light gold jewelry Chain for the Heel detail.
Voila.

Winter Boot Update Complete. :)
