I can’t get over how these picnic baskets turned out 🌸🐣#OTCPartner

I painted them white & pink, added yarn names, then filled them with Easter treats and picnic goodies before styling the sweetest little Easter porch picnic!
It’s giving storybook spring! 🌷 Would you host this?

They double as decor and a gift #otcpartner

Or… decorate and fill them ahead of time as a special Easter surprise for your own kids 💕

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.

Save this for later 💗 Would you wear this on a jacket, bag, or sweater? #ltkcrafts #ltkparty

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKValentine

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 💗

#LTKValentine #LTKKids #LTKSeasonal

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

Save this for Valentine’s brunch 💗 Brunch or girls’ night? #ltkparty

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.

Save this for your Galentine’s craft night 💗 #ltkparty

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
Save this if you love sentimental Christmas decor 🎄

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. 🎅

Christmas Craft Night with the Girls 🎨

(Okay… technically it was more of a Christmas craft day, but we had the tunes cranked and the singing was LOUD 🎶💃)
We spent the afternoon creating Snowy Gingerbread Village Jars — part crafting, part chaos, and totally magical. ❄️🏠
Each one turned into its own little Christmas world, filled with laughter, snow, and creative mayhem (and maybe a few peppermint sticks too). 🍬

Save this idea for your next Christmas get-together with teens or girlfriends — hot cocoa optional, singing totally required. ☕🎅

#LTKParties #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

🎀 It all started with a giant red bow… and ended with a Nutcracker porch that glows with holiday magic. ✨

From setup to sparkle, every detail came together to make this porch feel straight out of a storybook — nutcrackers, garlands, and all.

🚨 TRICK OR THEME DROP #8 🚨
This week’s drop: Gothic Vampire Dinner Party 🖤🩸🦇

Blood-red roses, flickering candles, and lace-draped walls set the dark gothic mood. A fogging skull sent wisps across the table while a free-standing chandelier cast long shadows over this midnight feast. Vampire fang napkin holders clutched red satin napkins, layering elegance with bite.
The blood bar was open—serving crimson pours from decanters, blood bags, and test tubes. At the dinner table, bleeding tapers ran red down black candlesticks while each place held a mini coffin filled with blood-red chocolates. Guests played Guess the Vampire with blood syringe pens, matching faces to the coffin board…was there a vampire at the table?
And as a parting gift, DIY vampire hunting kits sent guests home armed for the night.

Here’s what you’ll find in this drop:
✨ DIY: Vampire hunting kit favors
🖤 Guest detail: coffin place cards with blood-red chocolates
🩸 Food & Drink: a blood bar of decanters, bags + test-tube shots

This week’s drop: Beetlejuice 🖤🪲💚

It’s showtime. Black-and-white stripes set the stage, anchored by one big bold purple bow—Beetlejuice’s signature tie reimagined as a backdrop statement. The plates echo his striped suit, the napkins dare you to say his name three times, and coffin boxes brim with Zagnut bars for that classic creepy snack.

The table is packed with Beetlejuice mischief: gravestone place cards, sandworm candlesticks paired with DIY Beetlejuice napkin candles, and a spider-leg cake stand that looks like it could walk off the table. Add neon greens, beetle details, and just enough chaos, and you’ve got a party Beetlejuice himself would crash.
Here’s what you’ll find in this drop:
✨ DIY: Beetlejuice candles + sandworm candlesticks
🖤 Guest detail: gravestone place cards + striped suit-and-tie plates

This week’s drop: Haunted Dollhouse Decorating Party 🕰️👻🏠

Tiny houses, big chills. Dollar Tree minis got a haunted glow-up—painted black, hinged to open and close, and set on wood slices for making eerie little graveyards. Each place setting was witchy to the core: coffin cases with supplies, black cat place cards, witch hat plates, and cauldron mugs warning “I smell children.”

A balloon garland bubbled up from an oversized jack-o’-lantern cauldron, while a black cat familiar kept watch over the decorating. Guests had everything they needed to haunt it—from moss and cobwebs to spooky miniatures. The result? A party where even the smallest details cast the biggest spells.

This week’s drop: Wednesday Addams 🖤🕷️

This Wednesday drop has been stitched together from two Halloween parties. Call it a patchwork of perfection: black-and-white backdrops, striped plates, coffin trays, spiderweb placemats, and pumpkins from one—an eerie typewriter centerpiece, activities with black hearts, and switchblade guest names from the other. Add in giant spiders crawling across the setup and custom confetti scattered like shadows, and it’s all the colorless inspiration she’d ever tolerate.

It’s Wednesday’s version of a party: gothic, deadpan, and just twisted enough.
Here’s what you’ll find in this drop:

✨ DIY centerpiece: Wednesday’s typewriter vignette
🖤 Guest detail: switchblade place cards with Gomez’s names for Wednesday
