This DIY rose earl grey scrub was born out of my two latest obsession: rose-infused things and earl grey tea. There’s something so soothing about the scent of roses, especially in tea or candle form. And then there’s earl grey, a tea that has managed to replace my coffee addiction. (There, I said it.) It’s even gotten to …

How to Make a DIY Draped Chain Choker (Darice Crafts)
Crafting isn’t for everyone. I totally get it. But if there’s anything that I’ll totally advocate for, it’s making your own chokers. Simple versions like stretch velvet or leather wrap chokers literally call for zero crafting skills. (Promise.) Even the seemingly elaborate kinds are pretty easy to make. Don’t believe me? My latest draped chain …
DIY Reusable Beeswax Wraps
Few things make me happier than food-related crafts. It’s like 2-in-1 deal. These DIY reusable beeswax wraps are the perfect example. Last year, I discovered beeswax wraps at a grocery store in SF and fell in love. It was super cool to see how little waste I was producing while storing my food. I don’t use plastic …
How to Make DIY Marbled Soap in the Shape of Hearts (Darice Crafts)
My love for handmade extends far beyond fashion, decor, and food. We can’t forget about beauty products and toiletries! After all, these are things that many of us use on the daily. But when you make your own, you get to choose everything from the ingredients to the scents. It’s the best kind of practical …
Moss & Crystal Pendant DIY
If I can incorporate natural elements into a project, you know I’m all about it. After all, one of my favorite projects is this set of DIY Dried Flower Anchor Ornaments. I also recently made a Moss & Succulent Wreath and a Coffin Succulent Planter. Granted, those succulents aren’t real – but I’m still in love. …
Bustle: DIY 2017 Calendar with a Moon Design
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 …
DIY Rhinestone Anklet Set
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 …
DIY: Beaded Peace Wreath
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 …
DIY Bottle Cap Burger Ornaments
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: …
Crafty with Canon: Photo Candle DIY
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. …
Darice DIY: Christmas Confetti Card
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. …
