Tutorial: Wild Thing hat

“Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak was one of my favorite books as a child, and the story still resonates with me as an adult.  Everyone has felt like little Max at some point, a little out of control and wanting to get away from it all.  Sometimes all you need is a little wild rumpus to make everything better!

Instructables user jessyratfink shows how to make a wild thing hat so you can dress up like wild Max, perhaps for Halloween?  Go to the tutorial.

A Swoon for a Spoon: My Thoughts on Sadie Seasongoods’ Cameo Pendants

Okay, so let me just say, I’m obsessed with these spoon cameo pendants from Sadie Seasongoods! If you’re into unique jewelry that has a vintage vibe, but with a modern twist, then you have to check these out. Seriously, I’ve been wearing mine non-stop, and every time I do, someone asks where I got it from. It’s definitely become one of those signature pieces for me.

If you’re wondering what exactly a spoon cameo pendant is, let me explain. Sadie Seasongoods takes actual spoons and transforms them into these beautiful pendants. Yes, you read that right—spoons! They’re upcycled, which is such a cool idea, and the designs feature intricate cameos. The mix of the shiny metal and the detailed artwork gives it such a timeless, charming look. Plus, each one feels totally one-of-a-kind.

I don’t know about you, but I love accessories that can make a statement. These spoons have this vintage charm to them—think retro with a little bit of modern edge. The cameos on the spoons range from cute florals to more abstract patterns. Each pendant feels like a piece of art, and you can tell a lot of care went into crafting them.
