💘 Turn on your heart light! 💡

This Valentine’s Day, we’re throwing it way back to a classic Fred Flare crafternoon moment. From the video podcast vault: yours truly turning a heart-shaped box of chocolates into a handmade lamp shade. Because… why give chocolates when you can give art + lighting? 😘

Think of me as your cupid crafter, here to help you wow your sweetie with something unexpected, handmade and full of love.

So what are you waiting for? Grab that chocolate box, flip the switch, and create a heart light that’ll make them swoon. 💡❤️

DIY romance never looked so bright.

In case you all were wondering, Sparkle Pop by Fred Flare is still kicking it... Almost 20 yrs later. Give it a listen - add it to your playlist: https://spoti.fi/3GnITkc I love you Sparkle Pop.

Speaking of Fred Flare, we also launched a more sophisticated brother brand (for 5 mins)... MaxB (Modern and eXciting Building) connecting with my architectural background. Here was my masterpiece: A plexi DIY dollhouse - think Barbie's Dream House meets Wonder Woman's jet meets a Mid-century Modern glass house. It was $300 and someone actually bought it. I hope some little boy is still loving it today.

And also my foray into lighting design… The ever adorable Starlight Lamp. I should make a few more of these and try and sell them online.
