A few years ago, I was a DIY contributor at We Heart This. As of yesterday, I’m back on the team! Click here to check my (second) first project, a set of Embellished Candle Holders. Perfect for gift giving during the holidays. I’m especially loving the twig holder in the middle.

DIY: Altered Mason Jar Tea Bag Holder
For the past few years, I’ve been storing my tea bags in a large tin container covered in vintage floral fabric. The fabric was fun, but at the rate that I drink tea, it was never completely full. I just felt like the tin was bulky and taking up too much space. Yesterday, I came …
DIY: Mini Glass Terrarium
Here’s a little side project that I whipped up yesterday while I snowed in! A tiny terrarium that can fit in the palm of my hand. The glass portion is actually an upside down candle holder. A great, inexpensive alternative to most glass containers (especially those specifically made for terrariums). I cut out a green …
DIY: Mini Wreath Garland
I’ve always found it so interesting how past projects can inspire future tutorials. It’s even more intriguing when the latter project is completely different! This DIY – made with PVC tubing from Home Depot – was actually inspired by the Vinyl Tube Bracelets from almost exactly a year ago. With just a little fabric and …
DIY: Etched Glass Vase (Martha Stewart Crafts)
Recently, Martha Stewart Crafts sent over some amazing supplies for me to check out and whip up a holiday project with. One of my favorite Martha Stewart Crafts supplies is Glass Etching Cream, which has really opened up an entire bucket of possibilities for me. For this holiday DIY, I decided to etch some mirrors …
DIY: Faux Spool Candle
This home décor project is perfect for the sewing loving lady in your life – whether it’s yourself or a friend! It’s also a great recycling project; I used a soup can, leftover fabric, mason jar lids and miscellaneous buttons to create this candle. You can take it even further and use wax remnants from …
DIY: Vintage Photo Plate
This is one of those project ideas that have been on my mind for a while. Often, an idea pops into my head, but I’m not quite sure how to execute it. Just take a look at my notebook, planner, and virtual note apps. So many ideas without the details figured out yet. This is …
DIY: Gilded Feather Wall Art
During a trip to Target a few weeks ago, I spotted some feather wall art that caught my eye. It was totally my style and taste, but I took one glance at it and knew I could easily re-create it. All I needed was a shadow box. This is the inspiration piece that I spotted …
DIY: Jewelry Frame Tray
I love storage options that can double as decor. Might as well have fun with it! There’s nothing better than a piece that is both functional and decorative. This project is really easy, and only uses a few inexpensive supplies. Keep reading to see how I made it! Supplies: Faux leather Contact Paper Scissors …
DIY: Ombre Clothespin Magnets
Even after several seasons, ombre is still very much in the spotlight. I’m beginning to think it’s transitioned from “trend” to “staple” (along with stripes, floral, polka dots, etc!)…or at least, in my world it has. I’ve always loved working with watercolors – click here and here to check out some of my paintings – …
DIY: Wood Coaster Set
I love spur of the moment ideas. I thought of this while simply wandering through the hardware store (in this case, Home Depot). Who knew that Home Depot had free samples of hardwood flooring? I know this isn’t the most surprising thing ever…but they’re *the* perfect size for coasters! When I spotted these, I placed a few …
