Polymer Clay Cactus Earrings

Create an eye-catching pair of handmade Cactus Earrings using polymer clay!

Creating jewelry is one of my favorite things to do with polymer clay. One of my best friends lives in Southern Utah, which is basically a desert. For her birthday, I decided to make this stunning pair of custom Cactus Earrings using polymer clay and a little bit of foil. The textured clay paired with the shimmery gold foil is such a fun look that can be paired with anything in your wardrobe. These earrings are a simple project that can be customized with different colors of clay and foil to fit your personal style, and will definitely be a great gift idea.

The dogs are always sitting by as we've been baking lately, patiently waiting for crumbs to drop as we go. I felt kind of bad, so I decided to bake up a treat just for them. These homemade dog treats are cheap, easy, and only need FOUR simple ingredients (that you probably already have)! I hope your pups love them as much as my dogs, Lulu and Penny, do!

DIY Foil Leather Journal

Make your own foil-covered leather journal to keep track of plans or creative thoughts and ideas!

I am always making lists. Grocery lists, to do lists, lists of project ideas, and the literal list goes on and on. Just the other day, I was cleaning out my purse and ended up with a large handful of paper scraps full of scribbled checklists. To keep myself a little more organized, I decided to make myself this leather-bound journal (using my Cricut) with a foil design to keep all of my lists in one place. The journal fits perfectly in my purse, and the pages can be easily refilled or replaced to keep my lists going as long as I need them to.
