Go On, Make One

I’m always messing around with one project or another, but in the past few months I’ve been gung ho on DIY. I don’t know whether I’m just noticing the great projects out there more, or maybe following some new blogs that are chock full of ideas and inspiration. And you know what? I don’t care which it is because I’m feeling more creative than ever. I’ve already started a few of the projects below and thought you might like to take a shot at them as well.

Kimono Washi Tags

Kimono Washi Tags are traditionally used for Japanese kimonos. These stamped versions from Uguisu are meant for use as gift tags, but I think they’d find a home in my books instead.

dior 001

Forget 007, dior 001 is where it’s at for the lady on the hunt. The “weapon” conceals an antique hairpin, lipgloss, medicine, a USB stick with ‘secret information’ and a 100 gram sterling silver bar. I know that’s all I need for a guaranteed good Saturday night. (via Design Boom)

Pino

Pino is a lifestyle shop I’d definitely walk into and explore. The cool minimalism and color organization would suck me in immediately. Their identity kills it, I love the bold palette and diecut ‘I’ to no end.
