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 …

Bustle: DIY 2017 Calendar with a Moon Design
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 …
DIY: Beaded Peace Wreath
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 …
DIY Bottle Cap Burger Ornaments
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: …
Crafty with Canon: Photo Candle DIY
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. …
DIY: Succulent & Feather Moss Wreath
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.

DIY: Studded Mohawk Skull Ornaments
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 …
DIY: Marbled Incense Holder
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 …

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 …
DIY: Copper Spider Web Decor
Fact: I used to despise spiders. It doesn’t help that I’ve had so many strange (and gross) encounters with them during my childhood. Yet, somewhere along the line, I warmed up to spiders. And while I’m not exactly trying to hang around with a bunch of eight-legged bugs, I can appreciate their complex nature. So, in …
