Is there a more versatile and inexpensive DIY component than a hex nut from the hardware store? You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection. Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! With a few items that we always seem to have lying around, we tackled the technique and made our own spine-like braided hex nut wrap bracelet.

DIY Gingerbread House

When my sister, Karen, asked us to partake in making a Gingerbread House as part of her awesome food blog, Globetrotter Diaires, we were stoked. A festive and edible DIY?? Win-win! I had never made a gingerbread house from scratch before and I must say, it was so fun and beyond gratifying.
