  • $3 DIY Picture Frame Calendar

    $3 DIY Picture Frame Calendar

    I’m of the opinion that I can never be organized enough. My thoughts are all over the place and I’m pretty forgetful to begin with. So when my current calendar wasn’t cutting it, it became time to DIY-it. Materials Purchased $1 – Frame $1 – Poster Paper $1 – Dry Erase Markers On Hand Gold…

  • String Letter Art: Authenticity

    String Letter Art: Authenticity

    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…

  • DIY Spray Painted Bronze Headband

    DIY Spray Painted Bronze Headband

    Our last 14 for the 14th is a super easy DIY project! This bronze headband was made with some left over spray paint and an inexpensive headband I fell in love with at Claire’s. It’s just, once I put it on, it blended in with my hair too much! So I decided it needed a…

  • DIY Crown Molding Jewelry Frame

    DIY Crown Molding Jewelry Frame

    So, call me lazy, but I’ve only worn jewelry just over a dozen times in the last year. Why? Because it has all been sitting, tangled, in a bag ever since I moved into this apartment. Which was a year ago. Almost exactly. (To be completely honest, I only unpacked the last moving box this…

  • diy fail

    Kris and I have been trying to make this magnetic silly putty. I decided this would be a fun, whimsical idea. Well, ~$40 later we haven’t made it work. We have learned, however, that steel wool can be burned (inefficiently) down to iron oxide… given that you’ve bought the fine stuff (level 0000) and not…
