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. ## 1. DIY Floral Macarons ![food, dessert, icing, finger, cake decorating,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/ne/eu/uqifoj3j57f5f1f7a49ec848879280_600x600.jpg) Instructions at: [sugarandcloth.com](https://sugarandcloth.com/diy-floral-macarons/) These are almost too pretty to eat! ... almost. ## 2. Fruit Necklaces ![color, clothing, blue, yellow, flower,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/lr/b1/jfyptxjp57fe4275d696e185325529_600x864.jpg) Instructions at: [sugarandcloth.com](https://sugarandcloth.com/our-tropical-garden-party-and-diy-fruit-necklaces-for-summer/) These look like they'd end up a sticky mess, but not worries: they're made of make-believe fruits. ## 3. Confetti-Pattern Plates ![food, wheel, dessert, cake decorating, icing,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/io/pe/o0tgpkll57f5f1fda8006231627696_600x600.jpg) Instructions here: ‌‌[sugarandcloth.com](https://sugarandcloth.com/diy-confetti-pattern-placemats/) Truly, is there any better way to display your macarons (during that few seconds they haven't been eaten yet)? ## 4. Glam Camera Strap ![yellow, hand, fashion accessory, arm, finger,](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/pu/fs/hl39mxtb57fe4365cd70e534985538_600x894.jpg) Instructions at: [sugarandcloth.com](https://sugarandcloth.com/diy-glam-camera-strap/) Aaand now the pricey camera strap I bought a few weeks ago means nothing to me. ## 5.
