d.i.y. monogrammed laptop case


Continuing on in our pursuit of prettiness, I set my sights on my laptop, which was looking a little bare. I decided to glam it up a bit with some of our favorite things: monograms, pictures of some of our favorite people, and glitter! Here's a super simple guide to make one yourself:


What You'll Need: A clear snap-on laptop case, a monogram decal, Duck Glitter Tape, a picture collage (use actual pictures, or make one on your computer and print one out - measure your laptop screen beforehand and keep the collage within those dimensions), tape, and scissors


Step 1: Tape together your picture collage if needed.

Step 2: Stick the monogram decal to the center of your picture collage
(center it before sticking it to ensure proper placement!)

Step 3: Using the glitter tape, place the picture collage picture-side down inside the laptop case. Tape around the border of the picture collage, letting the tape curl under the rounded edges of the laptop case, and trimming it to fit where needed.

That's it! Snap the case on and enjoy!

d.i.y. glitter tray


Lately we’ve been obsessing over pretty new ways to display our prettiest things (blame it on Pinterest). Why hide our favorite baubles away in jewelry boxes when we can artfully showcase them on a glittery tray? In a D.I.Y. with all the sparkle and none of the messy, glitter-for-days aftermath, we’ll show you how to craft your very own glitter jewelry tray in a few simple steps.


What You’ll Need: A plastic/lucite tray, Duck glitter tape, a marker, scissors, and parchment paper


Step 1: Place the tray on the parchment paper and trace around the bottom of it.


Step 2: Flip the parchment paper over and tape strips of the glitter tape within the traced area.


Step 3: Flip the parchment paper over again (glitter side down) and cut within the traced lines.


Step 4: Working carefully, peel one strip of glitter tape at a time off of the parchment paper and stick it to the bottom of the tray. Try to get each strip as close as possible to the other without overlapping them.

Then, fill it with your favorite jewels!
