Squaresville Season 2 Designs


If you haven’t been watching the web series Squaresville, you are seriously missing out. Season 2 is airing now, and I had the opportunity to redesign all of their branding, including the poster above which is available for sale on DFTBA!

DIY Ampersand & Interrobang Pillows

My new video today is a craft tutorial on how to make ampersand and interrobang pillows! I had been sleeping on a typography pillow that I got at Urban Outfitters years ago, and I didn’t think it would be too hard to make my own. I did end up being a rather tedious process sewing everything together, but I think it came out really well and I can’t wait to use them. Keep reading for more photos and the links to the patterns if you want to make them yourself!

The History of the Interrobang


As you saw from my video and blog post on Wednesday, my new necklaces are now for sale! One of the new designs I made is the interrobang, which is a punctuation symbol meant to convey excitement in a question, to replace the often used “?!”. The history of this symbol is really interesting, so I made a video all about it. I hope you like the video and the necklace, and you can head over to www.dftba.com/karen to buy one!

Sale Rack Crafting: DIY Spring Birdhouses


My video today is a crafting collaboration with Ashley (paperpastels) which we shot at YouTube NextUp! I had the idea to go to Michaels and shop only on the sale rack, and then see what kind of craft project we could come up with using only the stuff we bought that day (and a few basic craft supplies I brought along). Our best find was these 50 cent birdhouses that we decided to decorate for the video!
