Tin Can Desk Organizer, quick enough to finish before nap time and an upgrade that feels far pricier than it was

Sugar Skull Wall Art, cheap to pull off with dollar store finds and proof a small change makes a real difference

An egg tray becomes a bold sugar skull, which is exactly the kind of thing a teenager will actually agree to hang on his wall. It has real edge to it and it started life in the recycling. I love a project with that gap between input and output. Here is how I made mine.

DIY Roman Shades, forgiving even if a step turns out a little crooked and warmth that a plain corner was missing

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
