Hi! I'm Kathleen Ballos, a maker and craft stylist with a focus on creating original DIY content. Past work can be seen on Handmade Charlotte where I was the blog manager for 5+ years. I have previously contributed DIY crafts for Martha Stewart,  Design*Sponge, Oh Happy Day, Brit + Co, The House That Lars Built, Sugar & Cloth, Julep, and Canadian Living. In the past, I have created content for brands including Disney, Target, Universal Pictures, LEGO, Kleenex, Party City, Nestle, Sculpey, and more.

I also lead local craft workshops and make hand-crafted party decor, craft pieces, and window displays. For more details about my services, please read more here. 

I really do think it's the thought that counts and love repurposing everyday items into something brand new. I think Roald Dahl said it best: "And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
