Pinpossible: Graduation Cap
The end of the semester is quickly approaching. All my social media feeds are filled with pictures of banquets and formals, and the countdown to graduation is steadily ticking down. My undergraduate graduation was a bit nontraditional — I finished my classes and defended my honors thesis in June, but...
Pinpossible: Watercolor Mugs
I’ve been on a huge watercolor kick lately. I love the imperfection of using watercolors because they make everything look so much more real, rather than something that’s mass produced. The small problem is, however, that I’m terrible with watercolors or any other kind of paint for that matter. Wire,...
Pinpossible: Upcycled Wine Bottle Vases
In preparation for graduation, I’ve been looking at motar board cap decoration ideas, and one of the ideas I’ve seen fairly often is a cap that has the quote, “I wine’d a lot, but I did it.” And it made me wonder how many wine bottles are currently sitting empty...
Pinpossible: Blanket Scarf
The weather is finally warming up, but before we kiss the colder weather away for good, I wanted to do one more fall weather-inspired project: a blanket scarf. I love blanket scarves because I’m one of those people who’s perpetually cold. In fact, I have two blankets in the office...
Pinpossible: Layered Brownies
One of the best things about Valentine’s day being over is that all the sweets gets marked on deep discount — all the truffles, fruit and caramel filled chocolate, plus the giant solid pieces of chocolate. In the spirit of leftover holiday candy, I wanted to choose a project that...
Pinpossible: Valentine’s Truffles
There’s an old saying that goes the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. In the spirit of that saying, I decided to go with a food-based Pin Possible for our Valentine’s themed issue. Truffles can be made using many different techniques. There are the cake ball...
Pinpossible: Burlap Garland
There’s an ongoing joke with my friends that my apartment looks like it could’ve come right out of a Pinterest board. I have self-painted canvas art and a variety of other decorative odds and ends sitting in my apartment — some haven’t even been hung up yet. However, since I...
Pinpossible: Apple Cider
This winter has been an abnormally warm one, but we have seen our share of colder weather, and my inner romantic loves the idea of settling in for cold weather with a book and a hot drink. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fireplace, so I just have to settle for...
Pinpossible: Bath Bombs
In the midst of finals, the excuse to take a break and relax can seem like something out of a dream. I’m going to be honest — up until I attempted this project, I had never looked at Lush Cosmetic’s Instagram and I have never stepped foot into a store....
Pinpossible: Burlap Wreath
We’re finally getting some consistent fall temperatures in Dallas, so even though we’re about half way through November, it’s only just beginning to feel like fall in Texas. I’m obsessed with reds, oranges and browns. Even though we’re past Halloween, I’ve been loving pumpkins and rustic-looking wood backgrounds in my...
