Fall Candle Care Tips

on November 2, 2017

Get into the fall spirit, set the mood, and keep your candles lasting longer and burning better with these simple fall candle care tips!

If you come to my apartment at any point during the fall season you’ll see maybe a garland, some DIY projects that I haven’t taken down yet and a whole lot of yarn in random places. Okay so what I’m trying to say is that even though I write about DIY projects and decorating your home, I’m really bad at having a cohesive vision for what I want things to look like and therefore fail at decorating. I can make pinterest boards like crazy, but I have a hard time setting the mood… or if I do, the cat decides they’re her new toys. Welcome to my single adulthood 🙂

SET THE MOOD: FALL 2017 PLAYLIST

That being said, I actually spend a lot of my time helping others set up their homes. At any day you can find me doing crafts with kiddos, bringing over pumpkins to paint and creating decorations for the families I work for. I absolutely love it. Here’s the thing though, when I’m home, I want to feel like I’m still in the season even though I haven’t decorated. The best solution? Turning on Practical Magic, grabbing some knitting, and lighting a scented candle. If I can’t look at fall foliage (Hello Los Angeles living) I darn well want my house to smell like a freaking pumpkin patch. Or Halloween party. Or…. something. This year, my dear friend Jodi rescued me in my time of need by giving me some ridiculously cute Gold Canyon lumies.

MAKE IT: JACK SKELLINGTON CAKE STAND

My apartment currently smells like Pumpkin Cider and I’m transported back to pumpkin patches with my mom and crafting with my MeMaw while she makes her own potpourri. Okay, I’m getting super sentimental but you totally get my drift! What are your favorite fall scents and memories?

Fall Candle Care Tips

Trim your wicks! – I know it’s not something we really think about but keep being told to do, but make sure to keep your wicks trimmed to 1/8 inch. This will promote an even burn and really, if you’re are given and/or use expensive candles, a wick trimmer is a good investment.
Don’t blow them out! – Keep your wicks conditioned by using a snuffer or dipping the wicks in the wax. I just grab a toothpick or a kebab skewer. Then straighten the wick out so it doesn’t get embeded in the wax once it dries.
Prevent memory rings or tunneling! – Ya’ll know what I’m talking about with these. When you burn a candle for a short amount of time, a ring forms, kinda like a canyon or a cave. Theres wax all up the sides but the wick is way down low. To prevent this, allow your candle to form a 1/4 inch deep, even layer of melted wax the very first time you burn it; about an hour per inch wide.
Rest it! – Theres a lot of temptation to relight a candle after the scent has dispersed. Don’t do it! Give your candle at least 4 hours in between each burning to prevent uneven burns.
Clean out your used candles! – As a DIY-er, I love finding re-uses for things. One of my favorite methods for cleaning out the jars is the freezer method. Simply put your candles in the freezer for a few hours then tap the wax out like you’re using a glass ketchup bottle. From there, you can scrape the residue from the sides with a butter knife and finish clean up with super hot water. If you’re using soy candles, you can can clean them out with warm soapy water!

Crochet Haunted Mansion Pillow

on October 31, 2017

Decorate your tomb sweet tomb with this crochet Haunted Mansion Pillow! Inspired by your favorite Disneyland ride and a great project for crochet beginners looking to make something a little different.

Everyone has their favorite Disneyland Ride. Be it Space Mountain, Peter Pan, Pirates of the Carribean, etc. Mine? I’ve always been a Haunted Mansion girl myself. Now, I’m not obsessed at the level that I could be. I know about the story line, I make time in my schedule to see the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay, and can quote the narrarator on both occasions. Okay, so maybe I’m a bit obsessed but whatever. What about you?

MAKE IT: JACK SKELLINGTON CAKE STAND

I made a version of this pillow for a dear friend as a housewarming gift. You see, she had just bought her first house (and if you live in LA, you know what a feat that truly is) and she was doing her living room in a Haunted Mansion, black and purple, theme. Originally I created the pillow using tunisian crochet but decided to just go with regular crochet for the tutorial. why? Well, it ends up doing the same and I wasn’t really sure how to write a tutorial on how to tunisian crochet so… there you have it.

Crochet Haunted Mansion Pillow

Time: Weekend Project
Cost: $10-15 – I used things I had on hand so it didn’t cost me anything
Spooky level – Let’s be real here, its like a 2. 3 – Max

Supplies:
Size H Crochet Hook
Worsted weight yarn in black and lavender
yarn needle
Pillow form – I got mine from Ikea for about $4

Stitches you need to know:
CH = Chain
SC = Single Crochet

HAVE A PARTY: TIM BURTON INSPIRED HALLOWEEN PARTY

To make the pillow – Make 2 panels:
1. CH 61 – turn
2. In 2nd CH from needle, SC across, CH 1 at end , turn work
3. Repeat row 2 until you’ve got 62 rows

To Cross Stitch:
1. Thread a length of yarn through the needle and find the center of the front panel. To do this, count 30 over on the width and stitch a few large stitches. Then do the same for the height.

2. Begin to cross stitch the following design. This works a lot like counted cross stitch so count over how many stitches you need from your center stitches. You can also measure off the beginning of the line using the same method.

3. To end each line, simply thread the yarn through the back loops of your cross stitch like so…

Not sure how to cross stitch into the project? Check this out:

Use a locking whip stitch to sew the two panels together – right sides out.

Leave a side or a few inches open to insert the pillow form then continue to locking whip stitch it closed. Fluff your pillow and display!

This crochet Haunted Mansion Pillow makes a great addition to your Halloween Decor or any Disneyland themed room for just a touch of spooky!

Stranger Things Eleven’s Eggo Cupcakes

on October 24, 2017

Sweeten up your Stranger Things party with these delicious Eleven’s Eggo Cupcakes! Cinnamon nutmeg cake topped with maple syrup buttercream and a mini waffle!

MAKE IT: Magical and Delicious Boozy Butterbeer Cupcakes (that might get you drunk)

I fell into the upside down. Okay that might be a bit of a stretch, but like most of American I am completely in love with Stranger Things. I try really hard not to go on Netflix binges – One because I really don’t have the time and two because I’m scared I’ll turn into a vampire because I won’t see light for 3 days. BUT it happened. I binged. More than once, I binged. And then I bought the games, and the merch, and I even designed my own logo. Pretty sweet huh?

So here’s the thing. I feel like I’m not allowed to say that it makes me feel nostalgic because while I am definitely a baby of the 80’s (hands up 1987!) I am a child of the 90s. That’s not to say that I didn’t grow up watching The Goonies and Care bears, jut that it doesn’t actively remind me of my childhood. What Stranger Things does, however, is make me feel like I’m rediscovering something. Like when my dad kept us up late at night listening to his records – I’d grown up listening to that music but actually going through it with him was a completely new experience. Maybe it’s like a time capsule the previous generation buried? Maybe? Hit me up if there is an actual term for this. I feel like I’m really confused in general as to whether I’m actually a millenial or not.

Okay, enough exposition. Let’s make some cupcakes! I kinda love these because I can totally lie to myself and say they’re also breakfast… because ya know eggs, milk, butter, waffles … syrup. Breakfast.

Fusion Bead Stranger Things Banner

on October 20, 2017

Get ready for Stranger Things Season 2 or just show off your knowledge of the Upside Down with this easy Perler Bead Stranger Things Banner.

True Story you guys. I have 2 days during the week to actually be productive. Otherwise, I’m either working, planning for work, or burnt out. So that is 2 days for blog content, cleaning my house, laundry, etc. You know what is NOT productive? Video games. You know what I did ALL last week? Played the new Stranger Things app. It ate all my time! And honestly, I regret NOTHING. Okay, maybe I regret a little bit but darn it, I love that show and I love those kids.

MAKE IT: Vicious Perler Bead Shark Cupcake Toppers

For real though you guys, I’m a little obsessed with that show. And the soundtrack – Yes I have it on vinyl and it sounds amazing. I’m sure there’s definitely a nostalgia factor but that show came out of nowhere and just took everyone by surprise!

To re-creates these cool Fusion Bead Christmas Lights and turn them into a Fusion Bead Stranger Things Banner is relatively simple. If you’ve got kiddos, this is a perfect project to get them involved in – but maybe don’t let them watch the show? Don’t blame me for nightmares that may or may not happen 🙂

Fusion Bead Stranger Things Banner

Supplies:
Fusion Beads: Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Black, White
Large square Perler bead board (or 2)
Wax or Parchment Paper
Iron
Black Embroidery Floss
Tapestry Needle
Awl – Optional
Black alphabet stickers

To create this banner, you’re going to need 8 of each color. I found that you can fit eight per board so the process goes relatively quickly – just do one color per board and you’ll end up with 32 lights total. Once your patterns are finished, cover the beads with parchment paper and iron each side on high for about 30 seconds keeping medium pressure and moving in gentle circular motions. Do this to each side – Don’t melt them down completely, you still want SOME holes in the beads to thread.

Once your beads have cooled its time to thread them! Thread a 6 foot strand of black embroidery floss through a tapestry needle. Begin to string your creations onto the floss. Going in through the back of your the top two black beads of each light, passing back through the front and repeating for each light. This will make sure that your banner doesn’t slide around and you can get the positioning right. Leave about 1 inch length between each. – If you don’t have a clear hole to thread through, use the awl to punch a larger hole in the top two black beads.

MAKE IT:DIY Zelda Pixel Heart Statement Necklace

Once you’re finished, secure your creation to the wall however you like – I used some tacks and masking tape – and affix your letter stickers beneath.

That’s it! You’re done! Treat yo’ self to a cocktail or delicious Eleven inspired Eggo cupcake! Just don’t get stuck in the upside down. The demagorgon might get you.

Easy Metallic Leaf Hair Clip for Fall

on October 18, 2017

This shop has been compensated by Schwarzkopf. #FashionColorExpert #sponsored

Enhance your fall style with a rich and vibrant new shade and this simple Easy Metallic Leaf Hair Clip made from hot glue!

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’ll know that I used to have really long, really curly hair – Think mermaid hair. I’ve always had iffy luck with hair dressers, so I’d let it go years without cutting it, and even then I’d do it myself. At least if I screwed it up it’d be my own fault. I still have really curly hair, but about 6 months ago, I chopped over a foot and a half off. It was super scary and also super free-ing. But I needed a change and to also save money on hair product, but that’s beside the point.

Fast forward to now and my hair is still pretty short and I needed another change. The seasons are changing and it’s not like I can cut even more of my hair off… well I could, but no. So since it’s fall, and as most people update their wardrobe, I’m updating my hair with a vibrant and fresh shade of Vintage Red (5.29) from Schwarzkopf Color Ultime; Hair color that defies fading for up to 9 weeks of color shine, and ya’ll know I love it when my hair shines!

Find out how you can try it free here!

Just a quick note, I’m not allergic to dyes, but I have friends that are so it’s ridiculously important to do a patch test and wear gloves!

Find Schwarzkopf on Instagram and Facebook and join the conversation!

Jump to the end of the post to see the process and before and after!

Easy Metallic Leaf Hair Clip

Supplies:
Hot Glue gun and sticks
Wax or baking paper
Hair clips
Metallic paint and sponge

To create this project, trace the shape of your leaf onto the baking paper.

Carefully with the hot glue, outline your leaf and fill in with whatever designs you like and allow to dry.

Once your hot glue is cooled – should only take about 10 minutes – apply metallic paint in a pouncing motion. You can also use spray paint if you’ve got it.

Allow your paint to dry and attach it to a hair clip or bobbypin with hot glue and pair with your shiny new hair color!

To me, having a great cut and color are the my favorite fall accessories. The best part, I dyed my hair at home with a box from the health and beauty – hair dye aisle at Walmart!

Update your hair color for fall with Schwarzkopf Color Ultime

To test for allergies, follow the instructions for the ‘patch test’ beforehand.
Put on your gloves!
Carefully squeeze the entire contents of the color cream tube into the application bottle and shake it like a polaroid picture…. to make sure everything is completely mixed together.
Apply as instructed and let it develop for the instructed time (mine was 30 minutes)
After the hair color has had time to set, it’s time to rinse! Simply rinse out your hair in warm water until the water runs clear – I took that as an excuse to take an extra long shower.
Use the conditioner as instructed and leave on for 2 minutes before rinsing.
Blow dry, air dry, style it however you want and pin with your brand new metallic leaf hair clip!

Before

During

After – this was a few days and 2 washes later. I think I’m in love!

You guys, how amazing is this color! I went with Vintage Red and even after a week, I am so in love. It is the perfect shade for the season without my having to seriously update my wardrobe. If you’re up for due for an update or just want something a little different, get thee to a Walmart and go for it!

Easy Monster Cookie Cake

on October 17, 2017

This easy monster cookie cake is a super simple dessert to make for all of your Halloween parties! This giant cookie is an adorable crowd pleaser!

I was sitting at a friend’s BBQ over the summer and the topic of party desserts came up. As in, we were talking about all how our parents grabbed a cake from the store and had them put our names on it, or they picked up a ton of cupcakes. These days, especially living in LA, I have seen it all. Ice cream carts, cotton candy artists (yep, those exist), mini desserts that look like a mosaic…. and these are at KIDS parties. One of the things we missed most were those giant cookies; you know the ones I’m talking about. Chocolate chip cookies the size of your head (or bigger) instead of a cake. We’ve pretty much had them at every gathering since and I’ve gotta be honest… BEST DECISION EVER!!!

MAKE IT: Halloween Glow in the Dark Slime

This particular project, how stinkin cute is it?!? I had the candy eyes left over from my Hank the Octopus bark last year and then I thought I lost them and was about to buy more until I realized they were in a prop box – Someone help my unorganized self! Anyway, I found them and decided, yep. This is happening.

You really can’t mess this monster cookie cake up and I had very few dishes to do at the end so kitchen win!

Cake Mix Monster Cookie Cake

Time: 45 min start to finish
Cost: $5-10
Spooky level: Not at all – but super cute!

Ingredients:
1 Box cake mix – white or yellow
2 eggs
1/2 c room temp butter
Added sugar sprinkles for color – Green funfetti anyone?!?

Decorations:
1/2 can white frosting
Purple food coloring
Candy eyeballs
Sour gummy worms
Sprinkles!

Supplies:
Medium mixing bowl
Round pizza pan
Baking spray
Wooden spoon and Spatula

To make:
Preheat oven to 350 and grease a round cake pan with baking or non-stick cooking spray.

Mix all cake ingredients together until fully incorporated. Use the back of a wooden spoon to make break up any lumps. Spread it evenly onto the pizza pan leaving 1/4 inch space from the edge – the cookie will expand!

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Let cool.

To decorate:
Mix white frosting and purple food coloring and spread evenly on top of cooled cookie cake.
Add sprinkles, candy eyeballs and sour gummy worms!

Are you in love with this as much as I am? PIN it to your Halloween or Party boards to save it for later!

DIY Painted Halloween Mini-Giftbags

on October 10, 2017

Create these simple Painted Halloween Mini-Giftbags for all of your holiday treats and goodies! A quick project for everyone to enjoy!

I am ready to admit that I am pumpkin spiced out… yes, I know we are only 2-ish weeks into fall but it’s EVERYWHERE and I just can’t you guys. I can’t. What does pumpkin spice have to do with today’s post? Nothing. I just felt like I needed to share that tidbit of information.

Okay, now on to better things… like crafts! I’m entering into my busy season (yes, I have like 5 of them) with babysitting and nannying which means I’m racking my brain to come up with crafts to keep the kiddos entertained and also not cover mom and dad’s house with random knick-nacks. I think I’ve got a win with these. I tried these halloween mini-giftbags the other day with my 4 year old kiddo and she was all about some polka dots! I think they’re going to put “spooky” school supplies in there for her class… but she may just use them to keep random princess jewelry in so who really knows.

I’m also super stoked to partner with Oriental Trading on this post. We’ve used them a lot while I was working at the Church during things like VBS and Family Camp, but I didn’t realize how much of a selection they actually had! The best part? I can order my party supplies and my craft supplies in one go. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Check out their craft supplies here!

And now onto some bags!

Make it: DIY Halloween Fox Ears

DIY Painted Halloween Mini-Giftbags

Cost: $5-10
Time: 15 minutes or less!
Awesome level: Festive and Easy!

MAKE IT: HALLOWEEN TYPOGRAPHY VASE

Supplies:
Mini Drawstring canvas bags
Cotton Swabs
Small paintbrush
Paint in chosen colors
Cardstock – for separating the bags

Begin by cutting a piece of cardstock to size and fit it inside of each bag. This will keep the paint from bleeding through.

Pour some paint onto a pallet or paper plate and use the cotton swabs to make polkadots! Easy peasy! If you’re working with kids, or in a batch, it’s easiest to do one color at a time.

Remove the paper and let the bags dry. You can heatset with an iron, but it’s not crucial.

For the spider web, I used black paint and a small paintbrush. You can probably sketch out the general design but I like to live on the wild side.

Just like in elementary school, paint a few straight lines then connect them with a few droopy lines to make a web. I ran into the problem of having my lines look too…. sketchy? So if that happens, make sure you have a full brush then paint outside in.

What are your favorite Halloween projects?

Create an Easy Halloween Backdrop

on October 5, 2017

Make your own Easy Halloween with some streamers and googly eyes! Check out this simple tutorial for a fun table prop or photo backdrop. Great for bloggers, instagram backgrounds and halloween parties!

Happy Halloween Season! While I should save this for maybe a round up post – that I will probably never write – this is my current morbid youtube obsession. Skip this if you’re squeamish. Just sayin. I had this whole post nearly written and got sidetracked for 2 hours watching these videos. I’m not ridiculously into death, but I do like random factoids and OMG there are so many!

Moving on – One of the things I’m constantly on the search for in this crazy world is backdrops. Whether it’s for instagram photos, blog photos, or random things that I think are really pretty and can turn things into. My current go-to backdrops are the ones you see on this blog – pink, yellow and blue. I’m currently painting some different shades of these, but you’ll probably see those later. However… this particular backdrop was inspired by a trip to the dollar tree – where, oddly enough, a lot of my ideas come from.

I did my backdrop on a piece of foam core, but if you’re sizing up to cover… say a wall, you’ll need a few other items. Let’s get started shall we!?!

How to Create an Easy Halloween Backdrop

Supplies:

Black foam core board – for small scale
2 Black Vinyl Tablecloths – for large scale (optional)
Masking Tape or Painters tape
White crepe paper streamers
Self adhesive googly eyes (or stick them on with glue dots)

1. If you’re using plastic table cloths, go ahead and secure them to the wall with painters tape as far up as you can get it.

2. Attach streamers at the top of the wall or to the BACK of your foam core board approximately 1-2 inches apart depending on your aesthetic.

3. Gently twist each streamer down the wall or foam core board and attach it to the bottom of the wall or back of the board.

4. Attach or glue googly eyes to the streamers. For the foam core board, I went through one package and attached them using Aileens Tacky Glue Pen.

5. Allow the glue to dry and you’re ready to rock your background! I absolutely adore the little googly eye details! I went for “monster” eyes, but there are so many different kinds and sizes to choose from! What would you go for?

Host a Tim Burton Inspired Halloween Party

on October 3, 2017

Host a Tim Burton Inspired Halloween Party! Loving the little details and pops of blue and purple that bring it together!

Shout out to all of the parents who randomly indulge their children’s party whims! Okay so when I was in third grade (I think) we had just moved to a new city and I really wanted to throw a Halloween party. Why? I honestly have no clue but my parents were amazing and actually went through with it. I don’t remember many details beyond eating a donut off of a tree and Shane from my class’s vampire blood capsules but I’m sure it was epic. Now that I’m older I realize the work that went into that party even if it wasn’t “pinterest perfect” as the standard is set to be these days. This year, instead of a crazy party, I wanted to throw a party that was outside of the normal black and orange and spooky. I was really inspired by Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas…. among others. And with some help from Oriental Trading, I was able to add some fun details like the striped table runner and skelleton glasses that really brought the decor to a whole new level.

This post is sponsored in part by Oriental Trading, all opinions are my own.

Host a Tim Burton Inspired Halloween Party

Head over to Oriental Trading’s Halloween decor shop for some great inspiration!

Fill glasses with Apple Cider for some fall all ages enjoyment. Add it as a mixer to some champagne to create a Fall Cider Mimosa!

Jack Skellington Cake Plate adds a touch of DIY whimsy for your sweet treats is perfect for your Host a Tim Burton Inspired Halloween Party!

Colorblock Oreos make for a tasty treat AND a great take home goodie! I used white cake bags and made mini stickers on my Cricut Explore Air 2.

Make a statement with these simple tableware rolls! Grab some foam bat shapes from the dollar store and adhere them to the roll with a glue dot.

Use edible accents like clementine oranges for easier clean up! No one likes finding confetti or table scatter days later!

And last but not least… fill up some goodie bags with candy, small gifts or treats from the party!

How to make simple Color Blocked Oreos

on September 28, 2017

Add some fun color to your snacks with these simple color blocked oreos! Make them in your team colors, party theme and more!

How do you eat your oreos? Are you the kind of person that splits them apart, licks them and sticks them back together? Do you dunk them in milk until they’re nice and soggy (guilty)? Do you split them apart and take out the cream (also guilty)? No matter how you eat them, I have yet to find someone that doesn’t like oreos.

MAKE IT: How to Make Oreo Peppermint Bark

There are a ton of ways to eat these delicious sandwich cookie and even more ways to decorate them! With this DIY, the goal was to use accent colors for my Halloween Party. They really only took about 30 minutes and have a huge impact when trying to set an impressive table. Other ways you could use this technique would be using team colors (I’m looking at you football fanatics) or school colors for a graduation party! The color possibilities are endless with melting chocolate and great food coloring!

Color Blocked Oreos

Time: 20-30 Minutes
Cost: $5-10
Party matching skills – On fleek (omg what did I just type!?!?)

Supplies:
1 package of Oreos – I went with double stuff, but you can use any kind!
18-24 oz White Chocolate almond bark – separated – usually at this time of year you can find it in large blocks at your local grocery store.
Food coloring in chosen colors – I am OBSESSED with the Wilton ColorRight system!
OR two bags candy melts in your chosen colors
Coconut oil
Microwave safe bowls – I just used CLEAN ceramic bowls
Parchment Paper and baking sheet

1. To begin, set up your baking sheet with the parchment paper and make room in your fridge. The cooling down process is essential.

MAKE IT: Easy Slutty Brownies Recipe

2. Start with one color chocolate and melt in 30 second bursts, stirring in between each one. Wait until you’ve melted all of your chocolate before adding coloring! Add about 1 tsp coconut oil to thin out the chocolate. This also helps to solidify the chocolate more quickly.

3. Dip oreos about half way, tap off the excess chocolate and gently place on the parchment paper. Do this for as many color blocked oreos as you need then place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes or until chocolate is solid.

4. While you’re waiting for the oreos to come out, clean up and prepare your next color using the same method.

5. Once your cookies are ready to be removed from the refrigerator, rotate them 90˚ so that the first color takes a vertical position. Dip the cookies half way again and place on the parchment paper – same side down as before. Place back in the fridge for another 20 minutes.

And… thats it! You’re done! Go color block your way into party mode!!!

Don’t forget to PIN for later!
