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 …
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, …
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 …
Chokers are literally the easiest pieces of jewelry to make. Basic styles can be made by just wrapping suede cord, elastic, or ribbon around your neck. You can even make a DIY fabric choker with fusible webbing tape. But in the interest of keeping things simple, let’s talk about flat wire. This underrated material is perfect …
Few things make me happier than food-related crafts. It’s like 2-in-1 deal. These DIY reusable beeswax wraps are the perfect example. Last year, I discovered beeswax wraps at a grocery store in SF and fell in love. It was super cool to see how little waste I was producing while storing my food. I don’t use plastic …
If I can incorporate natural elements into a project, you know I’m all about it. After all, one of my favorite projects is this set of DIY Dried Flower Anchor Ornaments. I also recently made a Moss & Succulent Wreath and a Coffin Succulent Planter. Granted, those succulents aren’t real – but I’m still in love. …
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 …
In the midst of the sparkle and shine of the holiday season, I couldn’t help but make one last festive project. And while NYE inspired this DIY, it could totally be used for any cocktail dinner or night out. Personally, I’d love to pair this rhinestone ankle set with jeans and low-cut boots. Comfort is …
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 …
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. …
