So I had to go and make one myself, of course. I don't have a pic or I'd put it up. But I found some gold paint I already had, bought little plastic sea turtles from Dollar Tree, and gold chain and screw hook/eye things in the tool section at Walmart. So by the time I got done, the whole thing cost about $1.50, but it's something I'll actually wear, and it can be totally customized, because you can do anything with some paint and an empty chain! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks PapernStitch for a great tutorial! It made me smile, and I like stuff that makes me smile. :] Hopefully next write, I'll share some pics of some amazing craft studios! I wish I had my own!!!!&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://papernstitchblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dinotut1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="465" width="650" src="http://papernstitchblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dinotut1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*image from PapernStitch*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4947812544162197313-8510373199495698659?l=startledbliss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://startledbliss.blogspot.com/feeds/8510373199495698659/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://startledbliss.blogspot.com/2011/07/trash-to-treasure-my-new-weakness.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4947812544162197313/posts/default/8510373199495698659'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4947812544162197313/posts/default/8510373199495698659'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://startledbliss.blogspot.com/2011/07/trash-to-treasure-my-new-weakness.html' title='Trash to Treasure: My new weakness'/><author><name>Kelsie LaRae</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00229685670231112793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SzFaQi1A_4w/TI-i5Bhz5aI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ivT7gb9WnaA/S220/11060_335485045242_752290242_9748456_7903255_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4947812544162197313.post-2225479614450906934</id><published>2011-07-18T20:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-18T20:52:34.257-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Rewind</title><content type='html'>Ok, I'm gonna try this again. I already have two blogs on this site, now my third, but I absolutely love reading so many craft blogs, and getting tips and finding new things to try out and make and hopefully some day I can sell all this stuff I make. So any help I can get from any of you would be absolutely amazing! I think for now, I'm gonna try to write every day and post something that inspires me and my creative mind. Ok, so lets see how long this lasts....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4947812544162197313-2225479614450906934?l=startledbliss.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://startledbliss.blogspot.com/feeds/2225479614450906934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://startledbliss.blogspot.com/2011/07/rewind.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4947812544162197313/posts/default/2225479614450906934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4947812544162197313/posts/default/2225479614450906934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://startledbliss.blogspot.com/2011/07/rewind.html' title='Rewind'/><author><name>Kelsie LaRae</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00229685670231112793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SzFaQi1A_4w/TI-i5Bhz5aI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ivT7gb9WnaA/S220/11060_335485045242_752290242_9748456_7903255_n.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
