This inspiration could not have come at a more appropriate time! After getting the materials for this project, I was out with Matt and saw all kinds of Nightmare Before Christmas paraphernalia displayed in stores for Halloween. Like my last ring DIY, this piece is simple and affordable… and it ought to make you feel […]

3 Fall Decoration Ideas for Your Mantle
I just moved into a new place, and I’d kind-of forgotten after living in the same place and making it my own for more than 6 years how much TLC a new home can require. Matt has already set about making small repairs and painting, and I’m working on making the place festive for fall! […]

Sleepy-Eye iPhone Case DIY
Project time: 10 minutes DIY level: (Super) Easy This might be one of my favorite projects at the Studio so far. Why? One, because the project literally takes 10 minutes once you have the supplies.

Anthro Hat Knockoff!
Project time: 1 hour DIY level: Easy-medium I love Anthropologie. A couple times a year I splurge and get myself a sweater or dress out of their “Freshly Cut” section online. And when I get that rare treat of getting to visit one of their actual stores, you bet I’m going to walk out of […]
Evil Eye Talisman DIY… with Glitter Glue!
Project time: 30 minutes DIY level: Easy This necklace is inspired by the “Evil Eye” talismans that travelers often bring back from their visits to Turkey and Greece. It’s not an Evil Eye—you’ll notice my version doesn’t have that sinister pupil in the center!—but it definitely elicits that feel. Mine’s made with glitter glue, so […]
