Since September 2011, Houstonian Ashley Rose has been giving me major life envy, so I'm thrilled that she's shared exactly how she's made all of her ultra-gorgeous, bright and colorful DIY projects... so I can have a tiny bit of her style, and you can too! Here are a few of my all-time fave Sugar & Cloth DIY projects.

These are almost too pretty to eat! ... almost.

These look like they'd end up a sticky mess, but not worries: they're made of make-believe fruits.
3. Confetti-Pattern Plates
Instructions here: sugarandcloth.com
Truly, is there any better way to display your macarons (during that few seconds they haven't been eaten yet)?
4. Glam Camera Strap
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
Aaand now the pricey camera strap I bought a few weeks ago means nothing to me.
5. Injectable Donut Holes
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
The color and flavor combinations are endless, but my favorite is already covered: chocolate.

This is much, much prettier than the ugly plastic digital clock I'm using right now.

Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
This DIY comes with a fab recipe for royal icing. Bookmark, stat!
13. Statement Printed Plates

You can make these with any print you want, but it's going to be tough to beat pink flamingos, am I right?
14. No-Sew Throw Pillows

You'll never guess what these gorgeous envelope pillows are made of. Ready? Napkins. Yeah!
15. Potted Cactus Macarons
Instructions at: https://sugarandcloth.com/2015/05/diy-potted-cactus-macarons/ and sugarandcloth.com
This DIY project is so prickly (and fantastic), she's done it two ways. Which do you like best?
16. Raspberry Smoothie Bowl Bites
Instructions at: https://sugarandcloth.com/2016/08/raspberry-smoothie-bowl-bites/
This is more of a recipe than a DIY, but it's so tasty (and they're so pretty!) I couldn't leave them out.
17. Taper Candle Holder
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
Okay, now I want to see the DIY for the candles themselves. Anyone have a link?
18. Super-Chic Bento Boxes
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
My Bento boxes came from the grocery store, are made of plastic, and are ugly. Time to make these ones!
19. Printable Wall Art
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
This isn't so much a DIY as it is a PIY (print it yourself). Which of these will you print and hang?
20. Seersucker Tea Towels
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
I might have a slight obsession with tea towels, so I might have to make these immediately.
21. Glasses Case
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
Ha! I love this punny little sunglasses case!
22. Retro Beach Umbrella
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
What color would you choose for your umbrella and fringe? I'm thinking pink with mint.
23. Marble & Gold Accent Table
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
I want to make this table, and also, I want this apartment.
24. Pom-Pom Beach Bag
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
This is the cutest beach bag ever! I'm going to be sad when I have to put it away for winter.
25. Citronella Candles
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
These look like they'd be difficult to make, but they're not.
26. Hexagon Serving Boards

Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com

28. Floral Chandelier Garland
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
You can make this for a party using real flowers, or keep it for much longer with silks.
29. Cool Keychains
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
I plan to make a set of these to hand out as stocking stuffers this year. Love!
30. Brass Ring Wall Art
Instructions at: sugarandcloth.com
I'm kind of in love with copper right now, so I'd make this out of copper instead... or oh! Maybe rose gold!
