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 …

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 …
