You can make a wristlet or crossbody lanyard – each kit comes with a metal phone attachment insert and an O-ring that allows you to attach your lanyard to just about any phone case.

AGJ x HWTF: DIY Knotted Bag Strap
My dear friend Ariel, of Ariel Gordon Jewelry, and I have always shared a love for the ocean.

These ropes, with their endless possibilities, were the perfect inspiration for our second collection of DIY kits.

Well, I’ve certainly never seen anything like this before. Artist Golsa Golchini is doing all kinds of amazing things with paint and digital art – and the results are just fantastic. Layers and layers of acrylic paint are applied and dried as the foundation and backdrop to each piece. Then, digital paintings of tiny figures are applied with ink transfers.
