DIY Time: Gold Chain Charm Bracelet

I've been doing quite a few DIY projects this past week. Here's another DIY item that I made. It's a gift for a friend for a little gift exchange (in return I got a Forever 21 e-certificate!). Based on her personality and style, I chose to use black and gold, with one of my favorite heart locket charm in gold. I used a toggle clasp at the end instead of a lobster clasp that I usually use so that it's easier to wear. How do you like this bracelet?

DIY Time: Customized USB Flash Drive

Edit 11/14: See more customized USB below!

I haven't done any DIY projects in awhile, but somehow this week I decided to transform my old USB flash drive and turn it into a cute accessory. I visited my local Hobby Lobby looking for something that I can wrap around my flash drive, and I found a really cute croc skin craft paper which was the perfect thing! Then I glued it around the outer covering of the flash drive and ta-da!

I'm putting this cute croc skin USB Flash Drive up for sale for just $10 bucks if anyone needs an extra USB. It was originally a 512MB SanDisk Cruzer Micro, it's good stuff! Visit the PLT Store to get it!

Pink Faux Croc Skin USB Flash Drive (512MB), $10

Edit: In the past week I made more customized USBs. First I made one for my friend Alicia, with cute patterned paper and her name on it.

The I made one for myself, with a black and white brocade print paper:

Do you like these? I'm now offering USB customizations for any of the above 2 patterns (or if you have a particular one you like), done on Transcend Jet Flash USB Flash Drive in either 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB. Check out the PLT Store if you're interested!
