DIY Pokeball Candle!

I have been on a candle making frenzy lately. Mostly because I just can not find any fun “nerdy” candles for my office. Since I am almost done with my office remodel, I wanted some nerdy decor that I did not have to spend a fortune on. I needed candles, so I decided to make my own! Today I am going to show you how I made this fun DIY Pokeball candle! The best part is that most of the items used were from the Dollar Tree!

I recycled candles from the Dollar tree by melting them down, and you can reuse the wicks to make new candles! The container used was also from the Dollar store! The only things not from the Dollar Tree was the Sharpie Oil Based Markers, which I already on hand! So, in total I spent $5 to make an awesome DIY Pokeball Candle!

DIY Harry Potter Apron!

Can you believe that I have never did a Harry Potter themed craft yet? I do have some Harry Potter inspired printables, but I have never actually made a craft! Well, today I am changing that and showing you how I made an adorable DIY Harry Potter Apron!

I used glitter heat transfer vinyl, but you can make it any color, or multiple colors! I thought that the glitter vinyl gave it a little more magic. I absolutely LOVE how this turned out! I made a canvas apron, but this would also make an adorable print for your kitchen as well! If you want to get really crafty, you can make your own DIY Apron and than put this decal on it!

DIY 8-Bit Heart!

Can you believe that it is already February? January just flew by, and now Valentines day is just right around the corner! Last week I overhauled my office, so when cleaning I found that I still had a lot of blocks left over from my 8-Bit Art project. So, of course I got distracted with them and decided to make this adorable DIY 8-Bit Heart!

I am always down for a good nerdy craft, and this DIY 8-Bit Heart is perfect for Valentines day! You could give it to someone as a gift, but I am keeping mine all to myself!

DIY Craft Desk Build

My office is always changing, I feel that as I grow, my needs change. A long time ago I shared how I built my last DIY Craft Desk, and while it worked for a while, it no longer suited my needs. This past year I have really developed a passion for wood working and building things from scratch, so I decided it was time to upgrade my current work area to a new DIY Craft Desk.

Before I headed to my local hardware store, I did a rough sketch of exactly what I wanted in a desk. Since I do a lot of food photography, I needed somewhere to house my wood and vinyl backdrops so that they would not warp or be ruined.

I decided to use melamine so that I would not have to sand or paint. Plus, the hard coating makes a nice smooth surface. I ended up purchasing 3 of the 4 foot by 8 foot boards. I had the store cut the boards down into 32 inch sections. So I ended up with 6 boards that were 32 inches by 4 feet, and 3 boards that were 33 inches by 4 feet. I used the 33 inch boards for the top and bottom, and the other boards to build the shelfs inside.

DIY Pokemon Table!

I have been on a organizational rampage this month. I cleaned out the garage, and now I am working on the kiddos rooms. The boy was in desperate need of a new desk! I was lucky enough to find an old school desk at a yard sale for $10. The top was in need of refinishing, so I decided to make a DIY Pokemon Table.

I left the bottom as it was because there are a lot of neat notes written on the inside and around the edges (some dated from the early 1960’s!) and I could not bring myself to cover them up. It is really hard to pick up on camera, but the Charizard image actually has a 3D look to it because it is set up away from the background!
