We were so excited when we were contacted by Swarovski! The people at Create your Style with Swarovski Elements Magazine were kind enough to send us a copy of this year's issue straight from Austria.
We weren't too sure what to expect from a magazine about the crafting crystals... and we were pleasantly surprised by all the DIY projects in there! Here are a few sneak peeks of what was inside:
There are these cute tabs separating all the DIY projects in the book! Look how many!
The DIY projects are all really well photographed tutorials so that beginners can follow too

I was so excited to see this! My aunt used to let me browse through her books as a kid and I'd make my own (really bad) versions. I make my jewelry now, not as much as I used to when I was younger, but getting my hands on a copy of this would really spark my inspiration again. You guys are great and have such awesome visions! Hopefully I'm a worthy candidate! (samysunshine@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteOh boy! I love to diy because not only does it save money, but you can create one-of-a-kind things and it's an awesome feeling being able to tell people that you made your skirt or shirt or whatever when they ask you where you got it.

I'm so excited for the opportunity to win this cool DIY book. Not only do I love finding interesting DIY projects to try out in my spare time, but I've had a hankering to attempt jewelry making for a while now! robinsonlisamarie@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love DIY because I'm too particular for what is available most of the time. I'll like something, but there will be a detail that isn't exactly how I want it, so I love having the chance to make it myself, just the way I want it to be.

I love Diy becouse it shows my individual world.toxic@lostinwonderland.pl
ReplyDeleteSwarovski crystals are the best in the beading world. Nothing shines like them. I have made some wonderful gifts for people that i love. DIY projects give you the satisfaction of creating and completing projects. It also gives you the opportunity to make these designs your own, by changing up the colour or adding another element. Thanks for the opportunity to win this. Love you guys. (christina.santolin@rogers.com
ReplyDeleteI love DIY because I love being creative. @flynpurplehippo.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I don't know if anyone else has this issue but it is sometimes hard to comment on your blog; sometimes I have to refresh the page a few times before the comment box shows up. I've never noticed this with other Disqus users.
:D
ReplyDeleteI LOVE DIY-ing because it only needs my creativity and simple items to create something new/better/cooler! I'm not from a very wealthy family, so I will always try to make the best out of what I have. Not only do I save some $$, I also get to stay in fashion (proudly) with my own production! Not to mention have my own style B). It's that sense of achievement and appreciation that only we DIY-ers can understand.
DIY-ing items also shows how much effort and time you put in it, and that just adds in the value to the item :) because to me, it's the heart that matters <3

That magazine looks great! And very well explained!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking over to make me some new jewels for summer :D
I've wanted to pick up DIY recently so I can make personalized bracelets that would be perfect for me, and they'd be unique, noone else would have the same piece!

I love to DIY because the items then have a personal touch, more sentimental to me and save me some moolah too :D
