Halloween is just a few weeks away (!!!) and my brain is about to burst with all the potential awesomeness of this holiday. And while I’m all about the darker, spookier side of things… Halloween is the perfect time to just have fun. I can totally get down with cutesy projects when they’re as awesome …
Scent is a big thing for me. I like it when my clothes smell good. I like it when my car (well, when I had one) smells good. I especially love it when my home smells good. It’s exactly what makes your stomping grounds feel like home to begin with. As a result, I’ve burned a …
Now that it’s officially autumn, it’s time to start digging into some of my favorite materials. Flannel, leather, faux fur — the good things in life. After all, using these supplies means that we’re finally past the days of being sweaty sloths in the summer heat. You know how it goes. And while I love to indulge …
It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for offbeat statement jewelry. I mean, about half of the projects I’ve shared in the past six years are jewelry tutorials. Specifically, I’m all about using leftover materials from past creations. It might take some time to think of a design, but it is an awesome way to …
It’s back-to-school season & I am STOKED. Granted, it’s been a couple years since I finished grad school and even longer since I was actually assigned a supply list. That doesn’t stop me from oohing and ahhing over supplies, though. It’s the writer in me. Unsurprisingly, I fell in love with the latest #craftywithcanon DIY… printable note pads! Count …
I was never much of a hoop earring kinda lady. Usually, I opted for statement studs or dangling designs. However, in the past year, I’ve grown to love the simple, minimalist vibe of a plain hoop. Plus, I dig how easy it is to embellish them. In fact, I’ve made three different pairs of hoops for …
Once August hits, I always (always) start getting super stoked for Halloween. The holiday is a big deal for us crafty folk… even when it comes to the food. So, aside from planning costumes for actual humans, I couldn’t help but whip up these adorable witchy Halloween cupcake toppers for the upcoming holiday. Here’s how to make them! …
Confession: I used to be a makeup junkie. And for someone who doesn’t like a full face of makeup, it got crazy. These days, I go for my tried-and-true basics with the occasional just-for-fun purchase. So, in effort to make useful projects, I made handheld hexagon mirrors… Clearly, my DIY junkie days will never be over. I’m cool with it. …
I’m that girl when it comes to shopping. It takes everything within me to internalize my ramblings about making your own stuff — especially jewelry. Of course, I get that DIY isn’t for everyone… but that’s why tutorials exist, right? For this DIY, I was inspired by the millions of chokers out there & re-purposed an old bandanna. It’s no-sew & ridiculously cheap. Win. …
While I’m not crazy about blingy embellishments, I can get down with rhinestones when they’re used in a not-so-conventional way. And in the interest of sharing my love for wedding-appropriate ideas, this choker DIY would make an amazing unconventional bridal piece. Let a girl know if anyone wants to get married; I definitely want to wear this down …
I’m such a sucker for wedding crafts; making decor and wearables for friends’ weddings is one of my favorite things to do. So, for my latest project at Darice Crafts, I made a non-traditional DIY succulent wedding corsage using a faux plant. I’m loving the way it looks against the chain! You can find the tutorial at Darice Crafts’ blog. …
