Here at Free People we’ve gone a little crazy for nail art lately… it’s such a fun way to add a pop of color or pattern to your look. We hooked up with our friend Kibby Ralston, a nail art whiz, to put together this tutorial for rad aztec patterned nails. Enjoy!

DIY Holiday Ornaments Turned Accessories: Headband

DIY Ornament turned into Headband

KMC0174 4092006 DIY Holiday Ornaments Turned Accessories: Headband

For this DIY we used the beautiful jewel encrusted ornament designed by Chan Luu. Our clever team used this ornament to create an adorable headband in just a few easy steps! All you need is a plain old headband and some fabric glue.

Untie the ornament from its hook, and then bit by bit, use the fabric glue to adhere it to the headband. We used clips (pictured below) to hold the ribbon in place as it dried.

That’s it! I love how the hanging chains give this a delicate feel:

    I just want to give you ALL a big rowdy THANK YOU! I only just found Free People a week ago and I am totally obsessed! I’ve made some purchases, collections and a rather detailed wishlist, and for me that is huge. I have been so bored by fashion for the past decade I’ve lost my love of clothes…until now! I adore everything about Free People and I’m telling everyone I know to shop here. Keep it up!

Wednes-DIY: Instagram Photo Wall

July 13th, 2011 / Posted by fp julia / Permalink

Today’s DIY project was inspired by this post on apartment therapy. Free People has an instagram account and I love so many of the photos that our home office girls post there – it’s like our little visual diary. I LOVE the idea of printing out our photo memories and making them into wall art!

Wednes DIY: Instagram Photo Wall

What you need: I used white poster board and double sided tape, and printed our photos out on a regular printer.

I picked photos at random and just started lining them up in rows :)

And that’s it! I think this would look awesome framed and hung up in our office :)
