So, I think it’s safe to say that the macrame trend has officially become a classic craft… yet again. It honestly does not show any sign of disappearing, and I am all for it. Personally, I adore mini macrame projects, like this DIY macrame pendant I made for eHow. It’s great when you get that itch …

How Infuse Honey With Rose
My home is filled with jars and jars of dried flowers, herbs, and spices… and I wouldn’t have it any other way. These materials bring food and crafting to an entirely new level. Floral face scrubs? Yes, please. Homemade teas? I’ll take three. And then there’s things like cinnamon soy wax melts, air fresheners, and lavender …
DIY Stone Air Plant Holder
Air plants are too cool. You can’t deny it. For starters, they defy the “typical” plant, as they don’t need any soil to survive. They can also “live” in countless containers, making them super versatile. Plus, they’re real easy to care for, and only need to be soaked once a month. (Brown thumbs, I’m looking at you.) Talk …

So, for this week’s craft tutorial, I whipped up a little air plant holder with air drying …
Rose Earl Grey Scrub
This DIY rose earl grey scrub was born out of my two latest obsession: rose-infused things and earl grey tea. There’s something so soothing about the scent of roses, especially in tea or candle form. And then there’s earl grey, a tea that has managed to replace my coffee addiction. (There, I said it.) It’s even gotten to …
DIY Reusable Beeswax Wraps
Few things make me happier than food-related crafts. It’s like 2-in-1 deal. These DIY reusable beeswax wraps are the perfect example. Last year, I discovered beeswax wraps at a grocery store in SF and fell in love. It was super cool to see how little waste I was producing while storing my food. I don’t use plastic …
How to Make DIY Marbled Soap in the Shape of Hearts (Darice Crafts)

Crafty with Canon: Photo Candle DIY
Growing up, I loved the idea of capturing a moment in a printed photo. But as I’ve gotten older (and as the digital world became a thing), I’ve been limiting the amount of physical pictures in my life. It’s less clutter, honestly. Instead, I try to stick to scrap books and other crafts with a purpose. …
Darice DIY: Christmas Confetti Card
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. …
