Earlier this month, Bea Binene dropped by the HQ to learn a little bit more about I Try DIY’s Weaving Workshop. She insisted she wasn’t crafty, but I stood my ground and told her she could do it. In no time, she was on a roll making her piece, not wanting to leave until she was done!
There are a few tools you can buy to make your pillow box making as simple as a series of paper punches. Here are some of those magical tools:
One of my go-to ways of wrapping small presents if by making these adorable pillow boxes. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of We R Memory Keeper’s Pillow Box Punch Board, but still go back to the DIY method for custom sizing. You can read back to the step-by-step tutorial I wrote back when the blog was still new. I’ve also been asked to make a video tutorial for it, so here you go!
I remember trying this simple face towel trick as a kid! Nothing’s cuter than a fuzzy bunny carrying around some colorful easter eggs, right?

I’ve always been fascinated with letters, words, typography and calligraphy. That is not to say I’m actually good at doing it myself. I’ve previously written a tutorial explaining how to “fake” calligraphy if your skills aren’t quite up to par just yet. I’ve been asked to make a video tutorial for it, so here you go!
I’ve seen candles with pressed flowers, and have always wondered how I could cheat making them. By that, I mean, not having to dip candles and make them from scratch myself. Yes, I know I could (and I should actually try to DIY right?), but I wanted an easy way out. Here’s the quick “cheat” method!
I still remember how I learned to fold letters into origami hearts like these. It was sometime in highschool. I had received a letter folded into this cute little heart. I had left it in my room while I was off to school. When I got back home, that letter was unraveled on my bed. Whoever snooped to read it, couldn’t put back the humpty dumpty of a letter back together again. Did a heart-shaped letter scream love letter? I was pretty pissed off back then, but I find it extremely funny now. Read on to learn how to make an origami heart. (Scroll down to the very end to watch a video tutorial instead!)
