I don't want to brag or anything, but I mean, you know, I totally knew about this technique before it was pinteresting (read: cool) as I'd seen it on craftzine: a massive piece by Dominique Falla. Inspired by it two and a half years ago, I made one of my all time favorite projects, a large-scale sign reading "authenticity" to be hung across from my bed. Because I wanted to … Continue reading →

DIY Wine Glass Christmas Light project
A few months ago, I stumbled upon this awesome idea to stuff some christmas lights into a wine bottle and call it a day.

(Seriously, I googled "Christmas Light Wine Glass" … Continue reading →
