Gilded Geometric Votives

Give plain glass votives the gold treatment. BY INA AMOR MEJIA

DIY PROJECTS THAT ARE EASY, pretty and useful are my favorite. This is one of them. And after an afternoon of making, I now have something handmade to give to a couple of good friends (and myself). These votives look amazing unlit, with their simple but stunning gilded triangles. They might lend some modern whimsy to a tired old coffee or dining table. Drop some scented votives in them and light them up, whether you're with company or not. They are super simple, you'll see.

DIY Gilded Note Cards

Revisit the pleasure of note writing with hand-drawn cards. BY INA AMOR MEJIA

AFTER CATCHING MALEFICENT last Saturday, we picked up a canvas for Caroline and a gold marker for myself. I've been meaning to do this after being inspired some time ago by this genius DIY by Ez Pudewa of Creature Comforts. I needed to replenish my stash of custom note cards so I thought I'd use the marker for that purpose.
