Awesome DIY ideas!
Friday, July 6, 2012 at 3:03PM I love looking at DIY tutorials but I never get around to actually doing them. I'm all fired up today though! Must be the caffeine! I'm hyper inside! Wil be stepping out in a while to buy materials and turn myself into the next DIY Queen. Kidding. Maybe. Don't listen to me!
You need to know this though: there is an awesome craft store that sells stamps, punchers, and other specialty products somewhere in the Greenhills area. Must visit. Read the Quaint Desk for the guide!

Anyway, here are some cool DIY ideas that I am bookmarking for you (and myself). Tell me, which one is your favorite? :D
Sunglasses with plaster rosettes ala Dolce & Gabbana
Chiffon knots + open-toed shoes = WIN
Bling your way to the catwalk! But make sure you don't mind running the risk of ruining a perfectly good pair of heels. ;)
Ice cream coin purse. Too cute!
This is a tissue holder but it can also be converted as a bag. Hmm.
Honest to goodness clutch bag.
We all need one or twenty of these envelopes. Make them yourself then add some cute washi tapes, lace, what not!
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
PS I do not own any of these photos. If you are the owner or know who owns them, please let me know if you wish to be credited or want your photo taken down. Thanks a bunch!

Awesome Ideas!!! I love DIY stuff I usually use left over fabrics to makes accessories
Oh my the rose-embellished eyewear is so cute. But I'm digging the tissue holder. It will be of use even when trends come and go...
All epic ideas! I love the sunglasses with the rosettes and that clutch bag is so beautiful! I could make five of those in different colors, If I could! Hehe.
DIY stuffs are so practical especially nowadays. Please keep us updated. :)
I love the ice cream coin purse! I need to know how to do that. And where can I get the materials. :)
I love DIY-ing stuff. That's why my sister and I have been doing some DIY things for her wedding. :) I love the open toe shoe with chiffon knots and the envelopes! :)
I hope you'll have more DIY posts in the future. This is a great addition to your site. :D
Oh my Liz! Thank you for showing me this Lasting Impression! I do not know where to buy craft supplies in Manila so this is a very valuable information.
Oh! Ginising mo ang DIY/Craftiness ko! Hahaha! Last Sunday, my hubby's aunt came here and she awaken my desire to learn to sew. Hopefully next time, ma-check nya yung mga sewing machines dito. Dati kasing mananahi yung mga lola ni hubby, so meron ata clang 3 sewing machines. ^__^
I would like to try some of the projects you featured, and I also want to go to that crafting wonderland called Quaint Desk! =D
BTW, if you are into ribbons and sewing stuff, you'll love a ribbon and lace shop in Divisoria! The name is Michelle's Ribbon and Lace Center. It is located at Tutuban Prime Block. Whenever I enter that place, it makes me feel like living there forever, if possible! Haha! It's a ribbon and lace wonderland for me! Oh! And I got some of my wedding stuff there... the flower accents on my entourage and the stones on my wedding gown! ^__^
DIY MiuMiu and the Chiffon knots + open-toed shoes are the ones I like. :) I was thinking of updating my wedding shoes with DIY chiffon knots. Also, thanks for posting about the new craft store in Greenhills. Just the other day I was wondering where I could find a craft store nearby. I live around Greenhills. Thank you Liz! Love your blog :)
weeeee..... super cute DIY stuff. I wanna do the bow clutch bag and ice cream coin purse. I have to start polishing my sewing skills though, I'm not that good at it
I agree with @Angelamhiere, Michelle's is a haven for people looking for great ribbons, laces, buttons, gems, fabrics, sequins and whatnots (they've got peacock feathers too) I would spend hours poring over every item they have whenever I go to Tutuban, everything is just so pretty and cute. :D
oh, these are cute! i love the chiffon knot on the shoes! and the clutch bag! i just wish i am creative too!
Hello @JD! I'm glad you agree!!! ^__^
Awesome... just awesome! Love the first 2 especially... :)
What great ideas! I saw a DIY clip-on bangs tutorial on youtube just recently and I've been wanting to do it but never have the time or right tools yet! :) Were you able to do any of these? Will bookmark this page because I definitely need those D&G-like shades for the summer! Thank you! :)
