Some moments deserve to be kept forever. 🎓

Harrison's graduation day is done — and I wasn't ready for any of it to just disappear. So I made him a memory keepsake. His cap, his diploma, his medal, his tassel, his cord, his photo — everything from his day, preserved together in one place.
His name, his year, his school on the outside — making it completely his. And of course the Cardinal had to be on there too.
Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal. 🎓

if your kid is obsessed with Toy Story right now, this one's for you 🤠

Dollar Tree jar filled with yellow candy, a bandana necktie, Woody hat and a sheriff badge on the front — DIY and so easy to put together!

…and if Woody isn't their character — I've also got Lightning McQueen, Minions, Barbie and Harry Potter versions on the blog 🎉

I cut open a soccer ball and turned it into a party vase ⚽✂️

trace your vase onto the ball and cut about ¼ inch wider — this gives you room to push the vase in cleanly. if the ball loses a little air once cut, stuff a napkin inside to keep it full and round.
add flowers, push sticks into mini soccer balls to make picks for the florals, tuck in some world flags and suddenly you have the most unique centerpiece for your FIFA watch party or soccer birthday.

save this for your next soccer party 🌸⚽

pro tip — drop small weights into the cup before the flowers go in. keeps everything balanced and upright.

A graduation gift they'll actually remember. 🎓

A plain vase, some foam core and black cardstock — and suddenly you have a DIY grad cap filled with everything they love.

Florals, their tassel, grad balloons, photos and gift cards all in one.
The trick? Floral picks. They let you tuck photos and gift cards straight into any floral arrangement — game changer for gifting season.

I got everything from Michaels — even the mini grad photo frames & gift card envelopes.

this might be the coolest thing I've ever done with our basement ⚽

our usual hangout spot just became match day headquarters.

GOAL balloons, flags of the world, favor boxes, soccer balls and Twizzler red cards (the only ones allowed at this party!)

one tip — layer grass mats, tablecovers and tablecloths on every surface. suddenly the whole room feels like a soccer pitch.

this is what I do with my arch frames instead of buying a new cover
bulletin board paper over the white sleeves, stapled to the back where it can't be seen. then I just painted — I matched the patterns from my tableware but you can go absolutely crazy with it!
two completely custom backdrop arches for the price of a roll of paper and whatever paint I already had.
the white covers stay on underneath so the paper isn't see through and your colours stay true.
save this if you have arches in storage — or if you've been thinking about buying them but weren't sure they were worth it 🎨 so worth it. #ltkparty

this is the most beautiful thing I've ever made for a party 🌸

a metal arch, grid panels, zip ties, and a bunch of faux florals — genuinely that's all this is. the trick is weaving the stems through the grid so they lock in and won't fall out. no complicated rigging, no special skills.
*I used the 3ft by 5ft arch for this one

I put our wedding photo in this frame and genuinely couldn’t stop staring at it 🤍

a plain wooden frame, a bag of pearls, gemstone brooches, and some flatback charms are all you need! And your trusty hot glue gun. the whole thing cost less than $20 and it looks like something you’d find in a boutique for $150.
it works for any photo that means something to you — wedding, engagement, graduation, a picture of your best friends from ten years ago that deserves better than a basic black frame.

you can make it completely your own depending on your space and your style — all pearl, mixed metals, full gold, whatever feels right.

She is going to love this so much. 🧺

A plain picnic basket, a monogram stencil, and a little chalk paint — suddenly you have a personalized gift that looks like it came from a boutique.

Pro tip: tape underneath the letter cuts too, not just around the edges. Totally game-changing for clean results on rattan.

I filled it with bubbly, napkins, insulated glasses, and then tied on a picnic blanket and florals — everything from Michaels. Done and done.
If the mom in your life loves a picnic, this one's for her.

This is how you celebrate a 2026 grad — pink and black, done right 🖤🎓

I threw this graduation party for my bestie’s daughter and her 2026 grad crew — complete with a candy bar, a memory box craft table, and personalized details throughout.

From custom ribbon to personalized napkins and signage, every detail made it feel intentional, elevated, and so special.
If you’re planning a 2026 graduation party, this is such a fun way to celebrate your grad and her favorite girls. Would you host something like this?

Bridgerton is back… so I made the ultimate fan gift for book and series lovers 👑📚
If you’re a Regency romance lover — the gowns, the longing glances, the scandal — this one’s for you

I started with a Pride & Prejudice book box and filled it with all the literary essentials:
✨ bookmarks
✨ notecards
✨ reading logs
✨ stickers & Post-it notes
✨ pens + bookish extras

Then I closed it up and tied it with lace and a gold + pearl brooch for that heirloom, corset-core finish
It feels like something Lady Whistledown herself would deliver. 💌

Perfect for a Bridgerton watch party hostess, your book club bestie, or your favorite romance reader.

It’s the extra layer that makes it 👀
This is my favorite way to dress up magnetic photo frames for Galentine’s
I added lace design stickers inside the frame for extra texture and detail, then layered in a Polaroid and decorated the front with flat-back charms — bows, pearls, and names for a personalized finish 💕

✨ Lace sticker layer inside the frame for added dimension! The lace sticker set includes frames, borders, shapes, and more — perfect for junk journaling and other crafts too (120 stickers!). #ltkcrafts #ltkparties

#LTKValentine #LTKSeasonal #LTKKids

I didn’t buy these… I made them 👀

Painted wood hearts with embossed metal foil tops turn into the prettiest heart brooches 💕 The foil adds texture and shine, and
each piece can be customized with different foil patterns — then finished with optional add-ons, like a bow charm.

An elevated DIY that’s still totally doable and PERFECT for Galentine’s crafting or Valentine accessorizing.

There is no other way to wrap a book 📚💌
I wrapped this book in Valentine newspaper print, added hidden pockets, tied it with lace and chiffon, then finished it with a brooch for a vintage touch.
The pockets hold all the fun extras — bookmarks, stickers, notepads, pens, reading logs, book markers, and a little Valentine treat 🍭
It turns the wrapping into part of the gift — and book lovers always notice.
Save this for Valentine’s gifting 💕 #ltkbooks #ltkgifts

From blank plaque to bold Valentine wall décor ❤️

I painted this plaque pink, added red stripes, and gave it a circus-inspired 🎪Valentine twist with classic red and pink.

Then I tried metal foiling to create a gold heart — after seeing it everywhere over Christmas (gift tags, ornaments, all of it), I knew it would be perfect for Valentine’s. I pressed the design into metal with foiling tools and glued it on top for that shine moment.
Finished with red velvet ribbon and a bow, it’s bold, playful, and exactly the kind of seasonal wall décor I love.

Which trend are you most into right now — bold circus stripes, metal foiling, or playful color? 👀❤️

Brooches are back 👀 and I love a make-your-own moment!

Painted wood hearts, pearly flat-back charms, and a little glue turn into the cutest heart brooches for Galentine’s night 💕 Pin them to a bag, a jacket, or wherever you want a little “loved up” detail

Easy to make, fun to personalize, and everyone leaves with something different — which is my favorite kind of craft.

Everyone decorates theirs differently 👀
That’s what makes this such a fun Galentine’s craft!

I decorated the backs of heart-shaped mirrors three ways — flat-back heart charms, Valentine patches, and pearlized charms with a vintage feel.
Same base, totally different results, and perfect for a craft night where everyone makes their own.

Save this for your Galentine’s craft night 💗

This is my go-to Galentine’s craft 💕
It’s easy, fun, and everyone can make one!

I used pink whipped paint on a scalloped wood frame, pressed in heart charms, conversation hearts, and clay sprinkles — and that’s it!
The whipped paint comes pre-colored, is super easy to work with, and hardens quickly to hold everything in place.

Once it dries, just add a photo and you’re ready 💗
Perfect for Valentine’s or Galentine’s craft night.

Save this for your next girls’ night 💕
Which photo would you put in this? I put wedding photos in for my husband’s desk..💗 #ltkparty #ltkcrafts

STOP using the basic white arch fabric slip covers! Here’s the DIY backdrop hack I always use instead 👇

I took a round goldtone arch set and swapped the fabric slip covers for backdrop banners — a black + white checkered fabric banner and a plastic graffiti panel backdrop. Glue dots on the frame, staples + clips in the back… and yes, messy works. No one ever sees the back anyway.

(And yes, don’t mind me in my post-surgery boot 😅 If I can do this in that, it really is that easy.)
Same arch, totally different looks — and you can swap it out for any party theme.

Save this if you want custom-looking backdrops without overthinking it. #LTKPARTY

This is how you make a skateboard party favor they actually want to keep 🛹
I filled a clear paint can with all the skater favorites — checkered sunglasses, laces, wax, mini skateboards, stickers, temp tattoos, chapstick, and finished it with a SK8R vinyl + tag tied on with another shoelace.
They double as party decor too — stack them on a skateboard as a centerpiece, then let the kids grab one when it’s time.

This ornament isn’t just decoration 👀 It’s the orange juice!

I filled a heart-shaped ornament with OJ, tied it with a bow, and set it on top of the glass — then unscrew, pour, and cheers 🥂💕 Such a fun Valentine’s or Galentine’s mimosa moment that doubles as décor and a drink upgrade

This is your sign to host a Galentine’s craft night 💕 Pink motel keys + fun charms = the cutest personalized Valentine you can actually use.

Easy, affordable, and totally doable — everyone leaves with something made just for them.

If you’re hosting a skateboard-obsessed kid, this SK8R party theme is such a win 🛹

🎄 Remember the viral SEASHELL frames from summer?
I turned that trend into a Christmas keepsake ❤️

Instead of shells, I layered mini ornaments around a simple frame, painted it classic Christmas red, and finished it with one of my favorite photos ever — my kids with Santa when they were little 🥹🎅
This one hit me right in the feels.

It’s not just holiday decor… it’s a memory you bring out every Christmas.
✨ Easy DIY
✨ Budget-friendly
✨ Perfect for nostalgic holiday photos, mantels, or gifting

Last-minute Christmas gift idea you’ll actually want to give 🎄✨
I’ve seen oversized ornaments used to hold all kinds of gifts, but this shape is perfect for a mini bottle of bubbles.
I tucked in a mini bottle of champagne, a Moet pourer, Lindor chocolates, and a champagne ornament, tied a bow at the top, and it’s instantly gift-ready 🍾🤍
Perfect for a bestie, co-worker, hostess, or white elephant gift — festive, easy, and no wrapping required.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Last-minute stocking glow-up!
I took a plain red stocking and gave it a little personality using sock charms — affordable, easy, and totally customizable!
I swapped the basic loop for new ribbon and a pearl charm hook, and now it’s ready for hanging with just the right amount of sparkle 🤍
It also makes such a fun little craft activity — especially for kids to decorate their own stockings and make them feel extra special.

Perfect if you want your stockings to feel special without buying new ones — and you can make each one completely your own.
(Linking the sock charms — they’re under $8 and still arrive in time ✨)

Proof that the best pieces are worth waiting for ✨

A Christmas craft that’s just as fun to make as it is to gift 🎁✨
#otcpartner

I wanted to make something my daughter could give to her closest friends at school — a gift that felt festive, creative, and a little bit magical. ❤️
So I put together these DIY Gingerbread Craft Baskets — each one filled with Christmas crafts to paint (a wooden nutcracker and a ceramic gingerbread house), plus a glowing luminary, gingerbread ornaments, a sweet little gingerbread friend, candy, and all the cozy touches that make holiday gifting special. 🎁

Each piece could make a sweet standalone gift too — or bundle them together for something extra-special.
They turned out full of color, creativity, and Christmas cheer — the kind of gift that keeps kids crafting long after the party’s over. 🎅
