In crafting there are no mistakes, just unique creations. — Sizzix
Crafting is my happy place. If you’re my soul sister, then jump in. You’ll find all sorts of DIY craft ideas for adults and kids – everything from colored wooden bead garlands to upcycling pre-loved furniture and amazing homecoming mums, I’ll share step by step tutorials so you can see what worked for me – and what didn’t – and don’t be shy to share your results!
It's almost HOCO mum season! A few weeks ago I decided it was time to prep, and by prep I mean go back to this awesome mum specialty store, called The Sale Place, where you can get all of the mum supplies you could ever need. I like to go there once a year to scope...
Not sure how many paint pouring videos I've watched, but I finally got brave enough to try it myself. In true Trista style, I not only wanted to test out the technique, I committed to making eight of them for an upcoming craft exchange, and on top of boxes...
Subscription boxes are all the rage these days, even Amazon has an entire section dedicated to them. When they first launched, there were only a few available but I was over-the-moon excited to find an Amazon crafting subscription box and I signed up for it in about 2...
Fabric succulents are the answer to my not-so-green thumb! This is a *no-sew*, inexpensive craft you can definitely DIY in an afternoon. I LOVE how my faux cactus turned out although I can't claim the credit for this clever project. I discovered it in an edition of a...
I can't stand a naked door! Porch appeal is something I am passionate about, and the basics begin with a door wreath. Door wreaths are welcoming but they can cost a small fortune. Have no fear, my boujie on a budget idea will speak to your wallet. After you see how...
This upcycling desk glamup was just the right project to feed my furniture thrift flip habit. Have you ever had a piece of furniture that was really well-made but maybe is not your current style? Or maybe you have a sentimental attachment to it, but it just doesn’t...
This simple, super cute boxwood Easter bunny with gingham ears is perfect for Easter and is as about as easy a project as you can get! It comes together in minutes! Feel free to substitute whatever colors, fabrics, or ribbons, to match your decor. This was inspired by...
If Texas's wild weather in February had any upside for me at all, it was that I had lots of time to binge-watch all the crafting videos. I'm a junkie for all the how-to's for dollar store craft supplies, but it's painful that there's no dollar store near me! But I do...
I have been waiting for a three-day weekend to be able to tackle this dresser upgrade for some time. Labor Day weekend was IT! Despite the 100 degree temperatures, I slugged down gallons of water, secluded myself in the garage with my paint and got to work. Here’s the...
You don't need to be a Star Wars or Mandalorian fan to absolutely adore Baby Yoda (aka Grogu, or simply "The Child" for those who are super fans). I needed that cute little guy in my life, and decided he would be the best reason to try out a new craft, needle felting....
Could you have made it through the Covid quarantines without your fur-family? That’s a hard no from the Perots. We adore our doggos and their hilariously opposite personalities. Spending so much extra time with them during quarantine has been a positive and led me to...
Gingerbread house decorating does not get more intense than the annual Reliant Energy Gingerbread House Decorating Charity Challenge and this year we had 45 minutes to create an award-winner. No pressure. I mean, there are only thousands of dollars on the line! This...
“Hey, what are we making this year for our Christmas presents?” Each year, me and my bestie in Ohio, virtually make similar gifts to give to all our friends and family. “Mosaic tile ornaments,” because Molly’s always up on the trends. “Um, say what?” Me, not on Tik...
Bitten by the travel wees bug, I decided to make my own for our next Craft Exchange. Here are pics and a description of the process.
