I love a little fashion DIY...if only because it allows me to do a little creative math when it comes to larger purchases (cue cries of "but look what I saved on item X by making it myself"). Truth be told, though...such is my inherent laziness...that even sourcing the flotsam and jetsam necessary for a specific craft project can sometimes seem like a Herculean task. Which probably explains my enthusiasm for these little bags of joy from dismountcreative...for a mere $10 you have all the paraphernalia necessary to make a Proenza Schouler-esque neon mountaineering rope bracelet...while for $15 you get to try your hand (egad, another pun) at putting together a geode ring.

Let the shopping justification sums commence...
