My favorite projects are the kinds that are based off of a method that’s typically used for something else. In other words, I love adapting techniques and applying them in different ways. Marbling techniques used for nail art have been spotted all over DIY-related media outlets – I’m sure you’ve seen them on Pinterest, especially. I …
It seems to be the weekend of DIY kit launches over here at the s&p HQ! I recently teamed up with Wander & Hunt to design a Studs & Pearls Jewelry Kit ($39 USD), available in gold and silver. The kit includes the supplies and instructions to create an array of pieces ranging from a necklaces to earrings. …

I love the offbeat, artsy vibe to them, along with the different ways one can style a pair depending on their personal taste and preference. One of my latest projects …

I know we all say this every month, but this year is seriously flying by. Is it really nearing the end of June already? I remember NYE like it was yesterday. In preparation for this summer’s festivities, I whipped up a quick and easy Independence Day themed project for those of you in America. You’ll …
I’m beginning to think ombre has become more of a staple instead of a trend. It’s been around for years, and there’s no sign of it fading out (no pun intended, I swear!) anytime soon. I personally love ombre/dyed anything thanks to my favorite art medium, watercolor paints. This project came about while rummaging through …
Last month, I shared an Urban Renewal Floral Denim Vest that I found on Urban Outfitters’ website, retailing for $79. You can find the “dash of inspiration” post here. I happen to have a TON of floral fabric scraps (and fabric scraps in general, but that’s another story) so it inspired me to re-purpose them. …
A few weeks ago, I whipped up this pretty little marbled number thanks to For the Makers’ Mojave Bowl kit. I adore mine! I use it to hold my most worn jewelry. Here’s to hoping I’ll stop misplacing them! Xo, Kirsten FTC Disclaimer: The Marbled Mojave Bowl kit was provided by For the Makers or …
This week’s DIY is inspired by the Rodarte Gold Padlock Chain Necklace! I could have sworn I saw a rhinestone version floating around – which is why this project made it to my “to do list” to begin with – but can’t seem to find it. So here’s this one instead: Rodarte Gold Padlock Chain …
When it comes to watercolor paints, I’ve always loved the way the colors blend and bleed together. So, why not transfer the look into a project? And since there’s nothing as classic as a pair of white Chucks, I decided to apply that idea on a brand new pair. I used 3 colors of RIT …
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that I can’t resist a good upcycled denim jacket (or vest). This time around, I thought playing around with the actual graphic and cutting it would create an interesting visual. The painted stripes were actually a really last minute idea, and they’re totally optional. I’m loving …
