These 3 Harry Potter crafts are super easy to make, and would make a great gift for the Potterhead in your life!

Over the last weekend I pulled out some of my old video consoles and had a blast playing. One thing that my hubby and I agree on is that Legend of Zelda is our all time favorite game. It inspired me to do some fun “old school” nerdy crafts. Of course, we had to start off with this DIY Legend of Zelda Pillow!
What I love most is that I did not have to sew a thing! I did not even use hot glue to make the pillow or adhere the decal! I did use my Silhouette cutting machine to cut the decal out though. It was my first time using it to cut fabric, and it worked out perfectly!

I love melt and pour soap! It is just so easy to work with, and only your imagination can limit what you can do with it. While I do love making my own soap from scratch, it is just easy to grab a block of melt and pour and get to work. This week I am sharing this fun DIY Ombre Soap project is perfect for goody bags at any beach themed (or mermaid theme) party!
You can create so many different colors, and I just had to add some glitter to give it a little extra. If you do opt to use glitter, I would recommend using cosmetic grade glitter though.

Am I the only one that is obsessed with decorating their kitchen utensils? When I look at an appliance or utensil that is setting out on my countertop, I feel like I need to make it pretty. I already decorated my Kitchen Aid Mixer and my Crock Pot, so I figured why not make some fun cutting boards too? Today I am sharing how I made this super fun DIY Game of Thrones Cutting Board!
I have made cutting boards in the past, and they have held up great! The secret is to use a vinyl that is rated for outdoor use. I have one that I made over a year ago and it still looks great. I do hand wash them, and only occasionally put them in the dishwasher (we all have those lazy days). Since the vinyl is on the underside of the cutting board, it still completely functional. It will also get the most use because it makes me happy.

As the work in my office moves forward, I have started working on some custom decor items. This week I really wanted some fun Notepads to keep next to my computer, but finding ones I loved was becoming difficult. So, I decided to make my own Customizable DIY Notepads!
I may have gone a little overboard because I made a few different ones. But, you can never have too many notepads right? I tend to lose them, so the more the better, in my opinion.
You can use your own images, or you can use the ones that I am sharing today. I love that they are so easy to make, and you can make them without having Photoshop!
Check out the video below to see how I made the Customizable DIY Notepads!
For the templates, I made a Galaxy Unicorn Notepad, a Doctor Who Notepad, a Hello Kitty Mashup Notepad, and a fun Nerdy Owl Notepad!
I love the Unicorn Notepads! Who does not love Unicorns and Galaxy?
I had to do the Tardis floating through the Galaxy!
Who doesn’t love a Mashup? These Hello Kitty Notepads are ADORABLE!
I absolutely love the owls too! They are almost too cute to use!
If you make your own notepad, which charters would you use?

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!
