Another plant project? You bet. This is only the beginning, friends. If you head on over to Darice Crafts, you’ll find a planter tutorial by yours truly. This cement planter with braided suede combines some of my favorite textures. It’s an awesome way to upgrade the average cement planter, especially if you’re going for a rustic …
If you follow me on Instagram (@kirsten_nunez), you might have noticed that my plant lady side is in full force. I just can’t seem to get enough! My latest project, for example, include a clay air plant holder. There’s also a metallic tattoo planter at MORE. And that’s only brushing the surface. When it came time …
It’s no secret that I love a good designer hack. Extra points for when it costs next to nothing. Either way, it’ll almost always set you back a fraction of the price. You’ll also get a dose of inspiration that you wouldn’t have had otherwise. This is exactly why I’m obsessed with DIY. A while …
What would the crafting world be without safety pins? I know I’d be pretty lost without them. They’ve saved the day when I’ve tried (over and over again) to get the perfect fit on a piece of DIY clothing. You know how it goes. So when I spotted a $168 Free People star studded pullover, …
Call me crazy, but I almost always save scraps from projects… especially when it comes to chain. These leftovers, after all, can be easily made into some kind of fringe. Making a simple piece of jewelry doesn’t call for that many supplies! So instead of throwing chains in the trash, I like to hold on …
Crafting isn’t for everyone. I totally get it. But if there’s anything that I’ll totally advocate for, it’s making your own chokers. Simple versions like stretch velvet or leather wrap chokers literally call for zero crafting skills. (Promise.) Even the seemingly elaborate kinds are pretty easy to make. Don’t believe me? My latest draped chain …
My love for handmade extends far beyond fashion, decor, and food. We can’t forget about beauty products and toiletries! After all, these are things that many of us use on the daily. But when you make your own, you get to choose everything from the ingredients to the scents. It’s the best kind of practical …
When it comes to gift giving, making your own greeting cards is perfect for using up leftover supplies and remnants. I like to think of it as a little scrapbook or collage. They’re especially excellent for those awkward pieces of paper or random embellishments. Most importantly, they are way cooler than anything you’ll find in the store. …
Somewhere along the line, pom poms took over the design world. Specifically, I’ve seen pom pom key chains absolutely everywhere, from Forever 21 to Barneys New York. Of course, I couldn’t help but set out to make my own…. with studs. Naturally. My latest project at Darice is a studded fur pom pom key chain …
Skulls, jewelry, home decor… these are a few of my favorite things. My latest DIY at Darice brings together these three elements, plus metallic gold! I’m swooning over here. Besides, there is a 120% chance I would make this during any time of the year. I go crazy around the Halloween season. Head to Darice’s …
When it comes to dream catchers, I’m all about using unconventional techniques or materials. I use everything from real flowers to bullet shell casings filled with crystal beads. Recently, I used plastic canvas to make a hemp-stitched feather dream catcher at Darice Crafts. Plastic canvas is typically associated with kid’s camp crafts, but this project …
