Year after year, the holiday season does an excellent job at creeping up on everyone. It seems to go from 0 to 100 in just a few days. This is probably why stores (and crafters) start rolling out the holiday projects well before Halloween. No one ever seems to be prepared. In celebration of the …
No Christmas tree of mine is safe from food ornaments. From DIY pie garlands to donut mirrors, I’m all about combining food and crafts. It gives me a chance to take a break from my usual style of edgier, darker crafts (skull ornaments, anyone?) for something a little more light-hearted. Interestingly enough, this reflects my personality so well: …
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. …
The beauty about botanical elements is that it will never go out of style. Year and year, it’s at the forefront of design, crafts, and everything in between. To top it off, there’s something so comforting about plant life. It doesn’t even matter if you don’t have a green thumb; incorporating it into your projects …
When you’re obsessed with non-traditional decor/projects/everything, the most unconventional elements make the best projects. And when you’re obsessed with Halloween, those little plastic skulls can come in handy all year round. So why not merge the two? These mini studded skull ornaments might be a bit much for some, but I adore them. And while I used turquoise …
Long-time followers will know that I’m all about music and shows. It’s always been a huge part of my life. Many of the people closest to me are musicians; I love the DIY nature of the underground rock and punk scene. So when it came time for the next round of Crafty with Canon, I didn’t hesitate to …
From incense and potpourri to candles and wax melts, I’m all about filling my home with amazing scents. Not only do I find it relaxing, but it makes me feel so much more comfortable in my own space. When it comes to incense, I usually go with the stick version. But when I recently picked up …
I’m on a roll with Halloween projects this year and I couldn’t be more stoked. For today’s project, I whipped up a gorgeously creepy skeleton coffin succulent planner that is easy to make and customize. It can also be made with faux foliage, making it ideal for anyone who doesn’t have a green thumb. If you’d like …
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 …
Scent is a big thing for me. I like it when my clothes smell good. I like it when my car (well, when I had one) smells good. I especially love it when my home smells good. It’s exactly what makes your stomping grounds feel like home to begin with. As a result, I’ve burned a …
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 …
