The simplest ideas often make the best kind of projects. The infinity sign is a popular symbol, right up there with peace signs, hearts, etc. With just a short strand of a wire and a little bit of handiwork, you can create your very own infinity symbol necklace. Another great beginner DIY project, too! Jewelry …
I think it goes without saying that I love anything with any kind of studs. Admittedly, despite the name, this blog tends to lead more towards the studs side (though I do love a good strand of pearls!). I recently whipped up a mixed media bracelet that I’ve been wearing with my Ettika bracelet (Metal …
If there’s anything I love about DIY, it’s being able to take an idea from one project and adapt it for another. Last December, I altered a thrifted Club Monaco leather jacket with some filigree glass stencils and off-black paint (click here for the project!). This time around, I used the same method on a …
Here’s a throwback from almost exactly a year ago, one of my favorites in 2013! Faux Ring Gloves – sassy, fun and ironic. Click here to check out the tutorial! Xo, Kirsten
I’m addicted to these. SO. ADDICTED. They are the perfect healthy, zesty go-to appetizer when you just need that extra kick. In a small bowl, I poured about 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 Sriracha. This is all up to personal preference, though. If you want a super spicy kick, add more Sriracha. If you want …
I know, I know…New York just had a snow storm, and I’m over here making summer tops. Something tells me that I’m ready for the cold weather to be done. I still have a couple winter DIY’s brewing for the next few months – but when I thought of this idea, I was too excited …
On New Years, around 2am, I got super excited when I realized there was a huge pile of empty champagne bottles in my friends’ recycling bin. I asked to snag a few for a project that I’ve been meaning to work on. Luckily, they’re all extremely accustomed to obsessively crafty ways…so having me dig through …
Back in my Nutrition student days, I made croutons in one of my basic cooking classes. It was honestly one of the easiest things we ever learned, but for some reason, it really stood out to me. It might have been the “customization” aspect of each batch – add whatever spices you please, with whatever …
It’s kind of funny how some projects work out. The alternating dome and pyramid studs on this jacket wasn’t my original plan — but I’m so glad it became a plan. I actually didn’t have enough of either style to make 5 rows on both sleeves. But then I thought, why not combine the two? I think …
The Beaded Sunglasses DIY from last summer is featured on page 116 in the current January 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan Czech Republic! If you live in the Czech Republic or surrounding countries, be sure to check it out. xx K
I’m super excited to share this DIY collab with BC Footwear! I took a pair of the already rad Go On Boots in Burgundy and used vinyl electrical tape (yup, you read that right) to add an edgy set of stripes. Electrical tape is not only sturdy and waterproof, but can be easily purchased at …
