If you’re just starting to dabble in DIY, I’ve got your back. After all, I’m all about showing others how easy it can be to customize anything and everything. And while it might be easier to just head to the store and shell out some cash, there’s something special about getting crafty. It proves that …
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 …
A few days ago, I shared a gingerbread whiskey truffle recipe made with an old gingerbread house. I decided to keep it going… in a gingerbread pie crust. I mean, you’ll only need so much to make the truffles. There’s probably going to be a ton leftover. So why not take it up a notch and make a …
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 …
I hate wasting food. Always have, always will. This holds true even for the sweets and not-so-great-for-you treats. (I’m looking at you, gingerbread houses.) And since we all know the holiday season is FULL of said treats… I couldn’t help but brainstorm a way to put a leftover gingerbread house to good use. After all, …
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 …
First off, I’m totally aware it’s the middle of December right now. But when you have a sweet tooth like myself, it’s never too cold for ice cream. Besides, this New York weather has gone from 50 to 20 to 50 again… so, ice cream it is. Banana ice cream, at least. And while non-dairy banana …
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. …
With the holiday season in full swing, things can get pretty crazy for the average crafter. Personally, I’m neck deep in holiday gifts, festive decor, and NYE accessories. We can’t forget the tasty recipes, too. But hey, who’s complaining? It just gives me another excuse to craft up a storm 😉 If you can steal …
When it comes to gift giving, making your own greeting cards is perfect for using up leftover supplies and remnants. I like to think of it as a little scrapbook or collage. They’re especially excellent for those awkward pieces of paper or random embellishments. Most importantly, they are way cooler than anything you’ll find in the store. …
