I’m a big fan of Mark Montano and his Big-Ass series. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it has nothing to do with body parts: it’s all about crafts! The Big-Ass Book of Bling is the latest book in the series, and it’s bling-tastic! Big-Ass Book of Bling is filled with instructions for making fashion-forward and funky necklaces, rings, earring, headbands, belts, pocketbooks, hatpins, cufflinks, epaulettes, brooches, shoe clips and much more. BABB also provides ideas for adding some sparkle on last season’s shoes or putting to use that piece of broken jewelry you’ve been saving, as well as hundreds of original DIY projects made from scratch. For both beginnings and experts alike, and made from recycled and household materials, BBAB is designed for real people with real budgets looking to get creative.
There are over 150 projects in this book. Amazing! Here are some bling-y crafts by Mark to get you inspired:

I think necklaces are my favorite because I wear them the most
I love bracelets and I love rings, but if I absolutely had to pick one I would have to choose rings. I love the way they sit on the hand and the fact that they tend to have a special meaning behind them. I love that there are so many kinds, and shapes and colors a ring can come in are just amazing!
I am a huge fan of bracelets! I just love them and try and get as many unique pieces as I can. It would be awesome to make my own beautiful bracelets with ideas from this book! Thank you for the opportunity to win this book.
