Over the past few years, my adoration for floral prints and themes has grown. Maybe it’s because of my time in California or maybe it’s the timeless authenticity of flowers. There’s a good chance it’s a mix of both. I’m already scheming ways to decorate my place with dried flowers for when I move back …
Creating DIY versions of designer pieces is one of my favorite things to do. It’s an awesome way to push your imagination to use supplies and materials that are affordable and accessible. I’m all about it. My latest designer-inspired creation can be found on eHow. This time around, I snagged some inspiration from a $320 …
When it comes to small businesses, I’m all about the ones that support the doers, dreamers, and makers of the world. Pins to Kill, an Australian based clothing company, totally fits that description. I’ve seen & loved their range of unique leggings, so I was 120% on board to collaborate with them. Of course, that meant …
With Easter less than two weeks away, spring is creeping right around the corner. And if you’re anything like me, all of this means that it’s time for a seasonal project (or five). This year, I’m welcoming the spring season with a batch of Easter eggs spruced up with my latest obsession: indigo shibori. The …
Happy Pi Day! Visit Darice Crafts for my latest foodie-approved project. No math involved for this one 😉 xx K
I’ve been crafting since I was extremely young. Right out of the womb, basically. There was always a healthy mix of making original ideas and following tutorials. I could spend hours in the craft section of the library or book store —just ask my mother. These days, I’m usually on the production side of things. Most of my …
There’s something about flowers that never (ever) gets old. Maybe it’s their timeless beauty or symbolism of new life. Or maybe it’s the way they exude an unspoken personality that doesn’t need words. Or maybe it’s all of the above. I’ll go with that. Whatever it is, my appreciation for flowers and foliage has increased …
When you dabble in different types of projects, it’s easy to build up quite the supply stash. I know you feel me on this one. And since I’m always (literally, always) trying to think of ways of to use remnants, I decided to whip up this patchwork back patch. You know… just prepping for cool-grandma-status …
If there’s anything that I love about the creative process, it’s that it can change or manifest at any point. It’s also especially interesting how an item or element can spark zero ideas one day and 931298 ideas the next. This oversized agate pendant is a prime example. I’ve had this little guy for a while. …
I have a serious soft spot for quick and easy craft projects. Extra points for when they’re inspired by something that costs a pretty penny. My latest tutorial at eHow is an excellent example; even a novice crafter can take this on. This one is inspired by a $215 Anthropologie item, made for less than …
I can’t be the only one who has her mind set on growing up to be a crafty badass grandma. You know… life goals and what not. Obviously, buttons aren’t just for grandmas. But when most craft projects feature said buttons in cutesy, traditional ways, it can be difficult to find new ways to use those …
