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 …
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 …
Guys, it is officially spring. Finally, finally, FINALLY. I’m way too excited to start using more natural materials in my projects. (I’m also stoked to not be an ice cube, but that’s another story.) And while I’m all about greenery like moss and dried flowers, I have a soft spot for feathers. … Oh, and …
What would the crafting world be without safety pins? I know I’d be pretty lost without them. They’ve saved the day when I’ve tried (over and over again) to get the perfect fit on a piece of DIY clothing. You know how it goes. So when I spotted a $168 Free People star studded pullover, …
Call me crazy, but I almost always save scraps from projects… especially when it comes to chain. These leftovers, after all, can be easily made into some kind of fringe. Making a simple piece of jewelry doesn’t call for that many supplies! So instead of throwing chains in the trash, I like to hold on …
Crafting isn’t for everyone. I totally get it. But if there’s anything that I’ll totally advocate for, it’s making your own chokers. Simple versions like stretch velvet or leather wrap chokers literally call for zero crafting skills. (Promise.) Even the seemingly elaborate kinds are pretty easy to make. Don’t believe me? My latest draped chain …
My love for handmade extends far beyond fashion, decor, and food. We can’t forget about beauty products and toiletries! After all, these are things that many of us use on the daily. But when you make your own, you get to choose everything from the ingredients to the scents. It’s the best kind of practical …
True story: I’m such a nerd when it comes to planners. I mean, I know iCal exists. But there’s also nothing more satisfying than crossing off days, tasks, and everything in between. It also doesn’t hurt that wall calendars double as super fun decor. Extra points if you can customize it, like this DIY 2017 calendar …
A few days ago, I shared a gingerbread whiskey truffle recipe made with an old gingerbread house. I decided to keep it going… in a gingerbread pie crust. I mean, you’ll only need so much to make the truffles. There’s probably going to be a ton leftover. So why not take it up a notch and make a …
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. …
Appetizers are my favorite. They’re easy to make, serve, and most of all… EAT! In the midst of all the holiday festivities, I thought I’d share one of my latest guides at Fix.com. This one is all about cheap DIY appetizer ideas, from stuffed mini peppers (yum) to tortellini skewers (yes, please). Need a recommendation? The …
