Lauren Conrad launches DIY craft seriesIt appears Lauren Conrad is intent on proving there is no end to her talents, with the reality star embarking on a new arts and crafts DIY video series.

It was only recently that the celebrity designer unveiled her new range of eco-friendly accessories and travel products with US-based planet-conscious retailer Blue Avocado.

Her other endeavors include a successful blog, a Kohl’s clothing line and a beauty tome.

In her new series, called “Lauren Conrad’s Crafty Creations”, the star shows how to transform everyday items into something beautiful.

For her debut episode last week Conrad made a stylish bracelet from ribbon, washers, scissors and tape in less than three minutes, while other DIYs include flower arranging and a homemade headband.

Following in the footsteps of American television personality Martha Stewart, whose tutorials at marthastewart.com are hugely popular, Conrad’s series comes at a time when sites such as online community for creative entrepreneurs Etsy and social network Pinterest with its extensive DIY craft guides are continuing to revive the art of homemade objects.
