Now that June is upon us, it’s officially wedding season! This year, I’ve already attended one, and have two more this summer. So, what better time to start rolling out the DIY wedding projects? If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I adore these types of crafts. It’s basically an obsession. For …

Dyed Bandanna Choker DIY
Bandannas are my jam. There’s something so classic about that paisley print. (In fact, the hoodie I’m wearing right now has a bandanna back patch.) From bandanna scrap earrings to a bandanna scrap choker, I’ve been all about re-purposing this quintessential accessory. So, when I spotted these bandanna necklaces at Dannijo, I knew I had …

Another plant project? You bet. This is only the beginning, friends. If you head on over to Darice Crafts, you’ll find a planter tutorial by yours truly.

DIY Soap Bars With Succulents (Darice Crafts)
If you follow me on Instagram (@kirsten_nunez), you might have noticed that my plant lady side is in full force. I just can’t seem to get enough! My latest project, for example, include a clay air plant holder. There’s also a metallic tattoo planter at MORE. And that’s only brushing the surface. When it came time …
Clay Air Plant Holder DIY
My love for plants has always been strong. But for whatever reason, it’s been in full force during these last few months. Like, growing-radishes-and-chamomile-in-my-small-apartment kind of full force. This means 9873284 more botanical DIY projects are on the way, obviously! So, for this week’s craft tutorial, I whipped up a little air plant holder with air drying …
DIY Hi-Top Sneaker Anklets
Anklets are so underrated. There, I said it. Maybe I’m biased because I’ve always loved the double-anklet look. Exhibit A: DIY Rhinestone Anklet Set. Exhibit B: Sequin Ankle Straps. I’ve always felt like they’re the underdogs of jewelry pieces. It seems like necklaces and earrings always steal the spotlight. Granted, anklets can go unnoticed if …
Charmed Denim Choker DIY (Inspired By Free People)
When Wild Amor launched in 2010 as Studs & Pearls, my main focus was designer-inspired DIY projects. Most of the tutorials were based off of high-end items, but basically anything store-bought was fair game. It was the peak of the DIY blog movement, and designer hacks were all the rage! These days, I’ve broadened the …
How to Turn a Button Down Shirt Into a DIY Off-the-Shoulder Top (or Dress!)
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 …
DIY Safety Pin Star Sweatshirt
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, …
DIY Bandanna Scrap Fabric Earrings
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 …
Metal Choker DIY
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 …
