How to Make a Wall Papered Backdrop

I had the idea to take a past DIY photo-booth backdrop I had made, and turn it into a rent friendly statement piece/photo booth backdrop. While this piece I made is mainly for fun photoshoots of my outfits, I have about a million ideas for how I can use these painted or wall papered panels when we move back into our apartment in New York. Especially when it comes to just propping them up against the wall as a statement.

Make Your Own Jewelry Book | DIY

There aren’t many jewelry books out there, and that’s why I’m SO excited to share this project with you. Something I really value in a DIY project is that it leaves me with a household item or piece of clothing that is unique to me.

And this Jewelry Book is just that. I’ve included a loose DIY process below for you, so you can make customize your own jewelry book unique to you!

A few months ago, I was on Pinterest trying to find a DIY way to store the jewelry I’ve been making, as well as the jewelery I inherited from my grandmother. I saw really fancy leather/zip up jewelry books that were compact and easy to use, but like anything I find online, I thought— I gotta make this.

Heart-Crazed Mask!

Remember my Galentine’s Day Heart-Crazed top?!

Welp, I went there and turned it into a mask!

For the top, I hot-glued a bunch of felt hearts to a shirt I was getting rid of, and just as I was about to throw it away, I decided to attempt making a mask out of it!

And it totally failed.

Why Galentine's Day is so Important this year.

This year, I’m celebrating some of the women I’ve walked closest with by sending them a note of encouragement and this heart garland via snailmail. The question I tried to answer in my note to them is “What am I praying for this person this year?” and “What have I seen in them that I love?”

Maybe these are questions your friends need to hear the answers to as well?

Monster Pop Up Card Printable + DIY

Monsters, all of a sudden, had feelings, heart, sadness, and maternal instincts. They weren’t that different from me after all.

COVID has had me looking forward to any and every holiday this year— Maybe because I’m excited to have something to celebrate and I’m excited to wield my decor and outfit creativity? I just need SOMETHING creative to do!

Felt Koozie for Planter | DIY

A few days ago I shared about my Koozie that helps me keep track of how much water I’ve had every day. While I was attempting to make my water koozie, I had an idea for a tarrazzo koozie. I was going to use my new koozie for my water bottle, but I had a bare plant jar on my coffee table and decided to try it out on the jar—- and I love how it turned out.

Tassel Earrings | DIY

Here’s the thing— I’m not an earrings person. I’ve had my ears pierced since forever, and could show you on both hands how many times I’ve worn earrings in the past fifteen years. I can’t wear most earrings because I’m allergic to the metal, and I’m not always pumped about the price of the earring I can wear.

But I’ve always loved the idea of earrings (I think they make me look a bit more grown up, does anyone else feel this way when they wear earrings?). The first pair of earrings I owned were a pair of kitty cats. Because I was a cool kid.

Pet Pop-Up Book | The Adventures of Bos

When Bos passed away, I asked my family to write a few poems to commemorate him. I then turned those poems into illustrations. For awhile, I wasn’t sure what to do with the illustrations until recently I had the idea to turn the illustrations of Bos into a pop up book. So, that’s what I did!

Pressing Flowers into Glass Frames

One of the main products I offer in my business, The Vow Collective, is a frame with my vow calligraphy on the left and a dried floral arrangement of pressed flowers on the right. I want to give couples the opportunity to press their bouquets or a special bouquet of flowers from their significant other. I leave the floral arranging up to the couple, but I thought a little tutorial video couldn’t hurt!

I remember the day our theatre director needed us to try on costumes at our city’s costume shop— the moment I walked in, I was in love. Bright Pieces of material intricately sewn together to create creatures, villains, and heroes from different time periods and realms.
