How to Turn Your Instagrams into Stickers

How to Turn Your Instagrams into Stickers

It’s no secret I’ve become a little bit obsessed with Instagram lately! I even have a second personal account where I share more unedited pictures of my kids without worrying too much about lighting, or how they will fit into my grid. However, sometimes it feels like I put a lot of effort into taking fun pictures, and I should do something more with them. I have listed a few over

Creating a Fun Workspace

I am proud do be a 3M-sponsored blogger, and as a part of my responsibilities, I get the opportunity to evaluate 3M products. Opinions are my own and additional products used in the project were selected by me. Sometimes decorating is difficult for me. I think that a big part of it is that I can be indecisive about design, and choosing just one color to paint the walls, and

DIY Gumdrop Paperweights

It’s no secret that I love candy and office/craft supplies (in fact that pretty much sums up my Instagram feed haha). So it’s no surprise that I decided to make something cute for my desk that looks like candy . . .  gumdrop DIY paperweights. I’ve been having a lot of fun with air dry clay recently, and made this pineapple planter, and this geometric pencil holder with it as well. What you need: 1.

Color Theory: Blue

Hi! It’s Kristine from Olive Twig Studio again, with another Color Theory lesson. This lesson is on blue. Blue is the most common favorite color of people around the world – so I’m hoping that most of you are extra excited for this lesson. Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It can symbolize stability, trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, cleanliness, health, faith, truth, tranquility and calmness. Deep

DIY Eraser Stamps

We made these fun eraser stamps as a part of a sponsored campaign with Socialstars and Office Depot. As always, all thoughts, opinions, pictures etc… are my own. #GearUpForGreat #GearLove   As much as we are enjoying summer (especially not having to wake up super early to get the kids to school), it can be hard to find things to do to fill the time. I’m all about creative play

10 Modern DIY Candle Holders

If you enjoy making stuff as much as I do, you’ve probably made some kind of votive or candle holder before. They are usually cheap, easy crafts that make perfect handmade gifts, party decorations, or a DIY wedding project. I’ve actually been planning on making a few myself, after I picked up a bunch of these simple glass candle holders and votive candles. And so I gathered these 10 modern

DIY Marbled Paper

Hi there, Natasha of Violet Tinder Studios here! I’ve always loved the look of marbling, but assumed it would be a complicated process to create it myself. When a friend of mine commissioned a marbled painting, I decided it was time to figure it out. And guess what? It’s so easy and SO fun! It’s probably best saved for a day when you can carve out an hour or so, because it

Colorful Adventures Close to Home

My whole life, I’ve always loved exploring and going on adventures. Even if I wasn’t taking a big trip somewhere exotic, I still found a lot of joy wandering around new places. Spontaneous trips are my absolute favorite, and I get such a thrill waking up one day without any specific plans and suddenly deciding to get in the car and take a road trip somewhere. When I became a

DIY Watercolor Magnets

DIY Watercolor Magnets

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed my recent obsession with watercolors. I just love their vibrant colors, and I think that there are so many beautiful things that even people who wouldn’t consider themselves artists at all can make with them.  This project was a little bit of an experiment for me. I wasn’t quite sure how these DIY magnets would turn out, and played around with a
