If a splurge at Tiffany's isn't in your budget this Valentine's Day you can still gift a classic accessory made with love by you! keep it simple and pair a crisp new suit shirt with a pair of cufflinks, for a do it yourself gift that doesn't get any sweeter.


What you'll need:
2 shank buttons
2 toggle clasps
1 jump ring
Pliers

Step 2 - Attach the part of the toggle clasp shaped like bar to the same jump ring and close tightly. This will create 1 cufflink.

0 How to make a DIY Waxed Denim

If you're anything like us then you've probably been eating Cup Of Noodle for the past month, to save up for those ultra luxe, leather pants you've been dreaming of. Well, now you can give your microwave a break and get the leather look without spending hundreds. Ever since Zara sold out of their burgundy waxed denim jeans Geri and I have been searching for the perfect pair, better yet we found a way to do it ourselves. Update some old jeans you already own with just a few key ingredients.


What you'll need:
Heavy Duty Fabric Wax - Otherwise known as Otter Wax
Hair dryer
Jeans


Step 1 - Lay your pants on a flat work surface. From the bottom of your jeans, rub the wax in even strokes covering the entire surface.


Step 2 - Use your hairdryer to soften wax and smooth out with your fingers to create an even surface and create a waterproofing seal.


Step 3 - Hang your jeans in a cool-dry place for 24 hours to let the wax set.
