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 …
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 …
From beginning to end, a wedding has so much potential for DIY decor. Think about it: as the newlyweds walk/drive/skip away, guests often shower them with rice or confetti. Usually, there are bells and whistles and everything in between. Streamers are also a popular choice, especially since they create an awesome visual. But what about flowers? It …
Surprise: I’m a sucker for embroidery and plants. Extra points for DIY plant projects. Together, these concepts are basically a dream come true. My project in the newest issue of Altered Couture is the perfect example. Iron-on transfers, vintage flowers, and a scattering of embroidered details. Yes please. The issue hits Michaels tomorrow, so be sure …
Over the past few years, I’ve developed an appreciation for hard cider. This likely stemmed from my indifferent feelings on beer, which I have to be in the mood for. Granted, I’ve totally become a regular at 2way Brewery here in Beacon, NY, but that’s an exception. (I’ve got friends that work there and it’s …
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 …
Now that June is upon us, it’s officially wedding season! This year, I’ve already attended one, and have two more this summer. So, what better time to start rolling out the DIY wedding projects?

Next time you’re at Michaels – which will be soon, if you’re anything like me – check out the Summer 2017 issue of Altered Couture, a publication by Stampington & Company. This issue’s got a Botanical Leather Jacket DIY by yours truly! I made this piece exclusively for Altered Couture, and I wear it so much. Would …
Bandannas are my jam. There’s something so classic about that paisley print. (In fact, the hoodie I’m wearing right now has a bandanna back patch.) From bandanna scrap earrings to a bandanna scrap choker, I’ve been all about re-purposing this quintessential accessory. So, when I spotted these bandanna necklaces at Dannijo, I knew I had …
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 …
