My craft-obsessed self adores the Halloween season. It gives you the perfect opportunity to play around with outrageous materials, styles, and items that you typically wouldn’t use. Take these DIY Lisa Frank Halloween costumes, for example. I dove straight into a world of vibrant neon rainbow goodness. The end result? A noteworthy ’90s-inspired costume that is …
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 …
When it comes to DIY versions of traditionally store-bought things, I nerd out hard. Like, real hard. This homemade sriracha is no exception. When I first took on this recipe for Dirt Magazine, Dig Inn‘s online food magazine, my brain couldn’t stop buzzing. There are so many ways this could be done. Interestingly enough, creating this reminded …
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 …
True story: I am the least picky eater of all least picky eaters. As long as it’s not alive, I’ll probably eat it. True story #2: My multiple food allergies prevent me from being that person who will eat anything and everything. Unfortunately, one of those allergies includes peanuts and almonds… two things I used to be …
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. …
