On My Recent Weekly Studio Vlog
Hi friends! 🌸 I’m so excited to share one of my favorite projects from this week—my new custom enamel pins! This journey started with a simple flower doodle, inspired by my love of paper flowers. What began as a sketch turned into a beautiful pin, brought to life by the talented team at GS-JJ.com. It’s such a special feeling seeing my design come to life, and I can't wait to share it with you!
From Paper to Pin
For those of you who’ve followed my crafting adventures, you know how much I adore creating paper flowers. One of my doodles of my standard flowers that I am known for, felt like the perfect choice to turn into a pin. I was a little nervous that it might not catch all the details but the final product exceeded my expectations. It has a polished, vibrant finish and looks so good on all my tote bags 🌼
Crafting Projects from the week
Of course, no crafting week is complete without some DIY projects. I worked on:
Mini Valentine’s Day Roses: Using a stunning red paper called Thai Unryu from Legion Paper, I created miniature roses. Something about small flowers feels extra magical, and these are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Check out the full tutorial linked here with this template here.
Dohl Decorations: I’m also making table decorations for a friend’s Dohl (Korean first birthday celebration). This includes a fake gift box wrapped in bojagi, a traditional Korean wrapping cloth. I even shared a free template for these decorations—find it here! 🎉
Minimalism Meets Personal Touch
I’ve been working on decluttering my living room and upgrading to new bookshelves, focusing on keeping only things that are meaningful. My new paper fiddle leaf plant has become a centerpiece of my living room, adding a personal and creative touch. Balancing whites, textures, and frames while incorporating my paper flowers has made my space feel fresh and inspiring.
