One of my best selling booth projects uses IOD transfers applied directly to glass, most often on decorative mirrors.

I walk through what matters most, what to avoid, and why this approach works so consistently.

A beginner-friendly look at bleaching and stamping on fabric—what surprised me, what mattered most, and what didn’t work at all.

I found an old video from 2020 where I made three different wood slice ornaments, back when my son was nine and wandering through every project I filmed. I’ve refreshed the instructions, updated the links, and pulled all three ornament ideas together — pinecones, JOY letters, and mandala dots — for a quick, meaningful holiday craft you can finish in one cozy afternoon.
