Finally a use for those thrift store belts that are too worn to wear; turn them into DIY minimal leather circle earrings!
Hi, I’m Marlene, and I’m perpetually two months behind.
I mean really, is it August already? REALLY??
Moving on, just popping on quickly today to share another Curbly project, these DIY minimal leather circle earrings.
Leather is so trendy right now that I keep trying to think of new ways to use it.
Some of you know I’ve been slowly amassing more fake plants. Real plants too, of course, but I’m peppering in some artificials for areas where there’s not enough light.
And I’m always, always looking for ways to combine my plant love with my copper love. Which of course led me to…DIY copper botanicals.
Copper + plants = the most perfectly perfect of all the perfect matches. Look at that protea!!
This is my latest Curbly project, so you can find out how to make your own copper plants right here. And I’d love to know what you think!

You know those days when it’s too hot to craft but you have to keep crafting because you have a deadline and you end up dripping sweat all over your project and have to start over?
Yeah, being a DIY blogger is weird. And also, crafting in 98 degree weather without AC is a terrible idea.
BUT, as usual when I’m having some sort of crafting complications, the end result makes it all worth it. Behold, I give to you: modern, boho, DIY rattan notebooks.
This is my first DIY project playing with how to use cane webbing and I AM HOOKED. I have been itching to use it for a project since I’ve seen it popping up all over Pinterest (see the end of the post for some of my favorite examples).
OMG you guys…two DIYs in one week!! What blog is this even!!
Ok, I’m REALLY trying to be more consistent. I could use your help with that actually. You see, comments are crack to us bloggers. Writing a blog is basically an endless, virtual form of show-and-tell, and you need the occasional “ooooo’s” and “aaahhhhh’s” to know that you’re making an impression.
Does that mean I am dependent on external validation and should discuss this with my therapist? Probably. Will blog comments still make me happy? Most definitely.
So please, show me some love and let me know what you think on this or any other post! It doesn’t have to be all praise, either, constructive criticism is totally welcome. Besides the rush I get from sharing and teaching others how to be more creative, I also write this blog for YOU! So what do YOU want to see more/less/differently? Let me know!!!

It’s another IKEA hack today — did you think I had forgotten to share how I made the wall hanging in my One Room Challenge bedroom makeover?
Ok, it’s been a few weeks so you probably did, but you know me and the deadlines. However, good things are worth waiting for, and although I may be a teensy bit biased, I’m so thrilled with how this faux weaving DIY turned out.
It is so, SO easy to recreate this DIY wall weaving hack. I know I toss the word “easy” around a lot on here, because I want ALL OF YOU to know that you can make gorgeous, creative things without a lot of skills or experience. But really. THIS IS AN EASY PROJECT. Basically if you can lace up a sneaker, you can make this wall hanging. Read More
