Read MoreI really love making pom poms. I have a few posts on here about poms. You can find how to make them with a pom pom maker here, and with cardboard here. I get really excited by pom poms because they are just so cute and really exciting when you make one. Everyone who I have ever spoken to who makes pom poms gets excited every time they create a perfectly cylindrical yarn ball. I love trying different patterns, and even making a few of my own up!
Read Moreresearched plenty of door stoppers but I really did not like any of them. Most of them reminded me of being at school or in a gymnasium. I wanted to make something that could act as a doorstop by day but then turn into a decorative item at night (though I don’t want it to hang on the door). Right now I have an oversized pom pom that is doing the trick but I wanted something more long term so here we go to make one out of clay! It is super simple and so fun but just keep in mind that it is a multi day project!
Read MoreI feel like I can never have enough rainbows in my life. To be honest I have always felt that way. I really wish the trend of rainbows being cool was when I was younger because I was constantly decked out in rainbows and people did not think it was as cute and fun as it is now. Another fun new fad is these clay earrings. They are literally all the rage and also so cute!
Read MoreThe best part of this night stand is actually how easy it is to build. The build took a quarter of the time that it took to prep the wood, so keep in mind that if you want to keep the wood raw, this table will literally take you no time. Also good to know, you need no power tools because you can get all the wood cut at your local Home Depot and you can use sandpaper to hand sand but you also could get a power sander for forty dollars. Let’s get this show on the road!
Read MoreI have been pretty open about my experience with buying furniture during this pandemic. It has been basically non- existent, but I am not upset about it. This whole situation has allowed me to be able to really lean into the love that I have to make and build furniture and also build up my collection of tools! Currently have a power sander and a saw. Hopeful to get a jigsaw soon as well. With all of this in mind, getting furniture for a new home has been quite difficult, so I decided to build it myself. I started with some shelves, the original plan was to have two shelves, but the wood I used was a little thin so I needed to layer the shelves to make it be the thickness that I actually needed.
Read MoreWhen you make as much art and as many crafts as I do, having a perfectly organized art supply storage is a must. To be honest, there is truly nothing worse than looking for supplies and not being able to find them. Also, a pet peeve of mine is not having easy access to all materials. In our last apartment, my supplies were in a long hallway and though there was plenty of space, there was just truly not enough for what I needed and I could not access it all.
Read MoreWhen we first looked at this apartment, one of the biggest selling points was the kitchen, how large and bright it was and the fact that it had a full walk in pantry. Not just a cabinet, but a large closet sized pantry with extra prep space and a window. It was full of shelves that went floor to ceiling and I knew that I just had to have this apartment as a result of it. One of the things I wanted to make sure of though, was that if we were going to have this amazing patry, that everything and I meant everything had to be perfectly organized. Everything had to have a spot and things had to look and bright and inviting as the rest of the space.
Read MoreI feel like I am always looking for a new notebook and like I can never get enough of them. I also feel like I have a collection of paper bags that really just never seem to go away, no matter how many we use. Honestly we once went through our stash and had to recycle upwards of 100 paper bags. I would always much rather re purpose something so then I decided to make these notebooks out of the paper bags. I can decorate each of them differently and use each of them for different things.
Read MoreWhen it comes to weaving, learning the basics is the most important. I have a DIY on here already for weaving the basics using a peg board loom. Since most people are at home and do not have a loom but are absolutely online shopping, this cardboard loom is essential for all those working from home and needing an activity to keep them grounded and to feel productive in the down time.
I am going to show you the basics of creating your own loom, some simple weaving techniques and how to create a wall hanging!
Read MoreI always love to have something fun on my bag or on my keys. I bought a loome tool a few years ago and I love everything you can make with them. They are seriously so versatile. One thing I love to make is their Wild Tassel and I love to stack them and put them everywhere! To start choose 3 colors that you think will look good together, follow these instructions and make a tassel.
Read MoreI love candles!! Honestly if I could give all my money over to candles I would 100% do it, they just make spaces feel so much more cozy! Considering that that is not at all in my budget, I decided to give candle making a try that way I can have handmade cozyness at anytime I wanted. At first I was hesitant to try it but as it turns out, candle making is quite easy and so much fun. This could be something you and your kids could do! I promise once you make a candle you’ll never buy another one again.
Read MoreMaking lip balm has been a game changer for me. I can honestly say that up until I made lip balm myself, I never used it. It also is super easy and fun to make! There were plenty of times that I was in my kitchen with my friends and made lip balm that I would send them home with when they left.
Read MoreMaking a felt banner is crazy easy. Sewing with felt is like a dream. It is so durable and easy to just pin in place and sew it. It is super simple to cut as well. Perfect for anyone!
Read MorePouches are honestly the greatest gift to this creation. You can use them for everything and anything and they keep all of you belongings in 1 simple place. I recently just started carrying a large tote bag instead of my backpack and I knew I needed a pouch to keep all my things together so I would not lose everything and look cute at the same time. Enter this DIY Zip Pouch!
