Happy International Women’s Day! In honor of all the badass women out there, here’s a spring project inspired by none other than the Venus sign, a gender sign that stems from astrological symbols. The idea came about while brainstorming crafty ways to create the Venus sign, a symbol that has gained so much significance in …
No matter the shade of your green thumb, air plants are always a win. Aside from the fact that they are ridiculously easy to care for, they don’t need any soil. This means they can hang out on (almost) anything and everything, which is great news for us crafty folks. For example, do you eat …
During the fall, Wild Amor tends to turn into a food blog, and I’m all about it. There’s something so comforting about the spicy-sweet notes of autumn. Chai is a personal favorite of mine, so I knew I had to make a chai smoothie concoction. (Actually, this past weekend I had chai apple cider at …
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 …
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 …
Anklets are so underrated. There, I said it. Maybe I’m biased because I’ve always loved the double-anklet look. Exhibit A: DIY Rhinestone Anklet Set. Exhibit B: Sequin Ankle Straps. I’ve always felt like they’re the underdogs of jewelry pieces. It seems like necklaces and earrings always steal the spotlight. Granted, anklets can go unnoticed if …
Nothing makes me geek out more than totally transforming old clothes. (Or any item, really.) Extra points for turning it into a trendy piece that would cost 5 times more in stores! Take this off-the-shoulder project, for example. It was made with a Men’s denim button down, thanks to fusible webbing tape and elastic. Yes, that means it’s …
Nothing makes me happier than turning scraps, leftovers, and remnants into something awesome. It’s the perfect way to save stuff from the trash while pushing the imagination. Take these fabric earrings, for example. They’re crazy easy to make and lightweight. And since I started out with half of a white bandanna, I can obviously make …
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. …
In 2010, this blog started out as a DIY fashion blog that channeled inspiration from designer items. As time went on, I began to share my love for everything DIY – not just fashion projects. Yet, I’m all for kicking it “old school” and replicating designer projects on the cheap. For my newest project at …
