When someone says “peanut butter cups”, I’m sure there’s a 9.9/10 chance you’ll think of the Reese’s brand. While I’ve always been a fan of Reese’s anything – the “pieces” kind, especially – I couldn’t help but give a homemade version a shot. This recipe is no-bake, and an adaptation of several different recipes that I found across the web. The …
Happy weekend, loves! I’m super stoked to announce that I will be contributing weekly DIY projects to eHow’s brand new Style page, during the months of April and May. The blog went live yesterday. These projects will be exclusive to eHow! I’m very excited about this contribution position and can’t wait to share these tutorials …
This week’s DIY is inspired by the Rodarte Gold Padlock Chain Necklace! I could have sworn I saw a rhinestone version floating around – which is why this project made it to my “to do list” to begin with – but can’t seem to find it. So here’s this one instead: Rodarte Gold Padlock Chain …
When it comes to watercolor paints, I’ve always loved the way the colors blend and bleed together. So, why not transfer the look into a project? And since there’s nothing as classic as a pair of white Chucks, I decided to apply that idea on a brand new pair. I used 3 colors of RIT …
This quick DIY was created in conjunction of the next s&p project, Watercolor Hi Tops. Instead of leaving the shoelaces plain jane white, I thought it would be fun to bring in some color (just in time for spring!) This tutorial uses watered down acrylic paint instead of your average fabric dye; shoelaces are typically …
The simplest ideas are always my favorite. In this project, I used a cone bead cap to emulate the look of a spiked pearl. This is a great beginner DIY. See how I made it, right this way: Supplies: – 3-in-1 Jewelry Pliers – Large Pearl Bead (Connected with a jump ring) – Bead Cone …
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that I can’t resist a good upcycled denim jacket (or vest).

The painted stripes were actually a really last minute idea, and they’re totally optional. I’m loving …

Last year, I created a wood-burned clock for my good friends’ Christmas gift. They’re in a band called Ghost House, and this skull is an awesome logo originally created by Rick Calzi of Dying Breed Illustration. Using a wood burning tool that I bought at Michaels, I burned the logo onto a pine wood disc …
I am so stoked to share this recipe. It’s a little ridiculous how excited I am. Granted, the name of this recipe is anything but little. Luckily, the concept of bread pudding is as simple it gets. It’s hard to mess it up, honestly. And there are so many ways you can go with this; cue all the …
If you haven’t already noticed, I’m all about “faux” projects…there’s something about the sheer cleverness of one thing emulating something else. For example… – Faux Cross Stitch Rose Sweatshirt – Faux Spool Candle – Faux Braided Bangle Bracelet – Faux Ring Gloves Ironically, the tights that I’m wearing in this post are faux garter tights …
