By Design- Home Decor and DIY Kits

Eat your heart out Hobby Lobby Garland section ( IYNYK!)

🍂🏈🎃 Okay… these might be my new favourite little projects.

I’ve been working on something NEW, and I may have gotten a little carried away. 😂

WOOD GARLANDS are here!

Football 🏈
Pumpkins 🎃
Fall leaves 🍂
Happy Fall
…and of course, we had to add a little Halloween. 👻🧙‍♀️

These are such a fun way to decorate a mantel, shelf, doorway, kitchen, tiered display or anywhere that needs a little seasonal something without adding another big sign.

And because this is By Design… you know you aren't stuck with the colours shown. 😉 Pick your colours, match your team, your house or your existing décor and make it yours.

They'll be available completed, as DIY kits, or just the pieces for those of you who already have a craft stash that could rival mine. 😂

I'm adding them to the website today!

But I need to know — which one would you make first?
🏈 Football
🎃 Pumpkins
🍂 Fall
👻 Halloween

And yes… Christmas ones are coming

Sometimes, fall means something different than pumpkin, and leaves.

Anyone else look forward to the football season?
These were created just for those people!

As a mom of a flag player, this one is close to home.
All of these are included in our weekend extravaganza!
DIY 50
JTP 37.50

What does fall mean to you?
Other than the usual pumpkin, leaves, sweater weather, and now football, what are we missing when it comes to fall?

All suggestions considered!

I want to have a few new personalized items for fall and Halloween this year.
I love a front door with a little hint of charm with a name.
But...do you?
Is this something we should be offering for most of our designs?

A welcome option, or hello? ( keep our name outta here!)
Or something with a hint of You?

All of these are up on the webpage to order for a class. and this beauty is on SALE for
50$ Kit
37:50 Just the pieces

( all of this pricing is just online here, and just this weekend!)

This or That!?
Help, which one should be up on the website for this season?

Which one would you pick?
Fall or Halloween for our new wreath options?

( Today only 55 for Kit, and 40 for JTP)

This or that?

I may have gone a little overboard this fall.

We’re starting with this sweet little ghost, because apparently Halloween can be adorable.

With her flower-covered hat, pumpkins and soft fall colours, she’s the perfect mix of Halloween and pretty seasonal décor. Of course, you can choose completely different colours and make her your own.
Imagine this in coastal blues, or make the sheets "grandma" style with little flowers instead. The cutest! And right on trend.

She is available as:

A DIY Kit with everything needed to complete her. 50$
Just the unfinished wood pieces 37.50$

Now tell me—are you more cute Halloween or spooky Halloween?
What do you want to see for new designs?

Watch for the next new design later today!

Who needs this cutie in their life?
Reply with "Me" and she is all yours.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Just a little note, I will be offline in parts of the weekend, so just a little patience in my response time. I am moving my daughter to her university this weekend...and no, I am not ok :(

So as a bright spot over the weekend, I am running a 2026 design DIY kit sale!

The kits will be posted all through the weekend!
All you have to do is respond SOLD on the kit you want and we will have you crafting by Tuesday!
( just the pieces as well!)
( Facebook LOVES to shadow ban me when we do this.. so any like and comment gets these posts seen... and shared)

I have been dreading this weekend since I sent her to JK, but here we are.
Time is cruel.

Happy Shopping weekend!!

New design alert!

This beauty is the cutest little statement piece for halloween.
( and I love me some ghosties!)
He can be a wall hanger or a shelf sitter as an accent.
Take this guy home, and take a minute for yourself to create something beautiful.

If you have been considering having a Group event at our studio in the next couple months, please reach out, as we are absolutely filling up with studio time.
Especially with all the new classes we have!

There is a hostess deal for Sept- Dec as well! Ask us about it!

We need to talk.

AI IS a great tool for a lot of things.
It could even be a great place for inspo.
However..it's making things a little challenging for me.
How do you know its AI?
It's getting easier to spot.. but the measurements on here on a little inconsistent to start.

Today I was asked if I could make this.
This exactly.
Because AI said it was possible to be made out of wood.

I can always make a version of this. The detail alone on this would make it a 500-600$ piece.
It wouldn't look like this but could have some of the same elements.

Ai can be helpful. It's can also be misleading.
Just be careful :)
