OUR STORY

​

Hi! We’re Andrea and Shaena and we make up the duo that is To Die For DIY. We’re childhood friends who have always shared an interest in art, style, vintage and beautiful things! To Die For DIY was born out of a mutual love of creating and a desire to foster a sense a community through crafting and fun.

​

We host DIY workshops and pop-up events in the Fox Valley area.  Each of our do-it-yourself (DIY) workshops include all the materials, instructions, and time needed to create beautiful pieces to adorn yourself and your home. 

​

We believe in empowering people through creativity. Not only is making and crafting a great reason to gather, it's also good for the mind and spirit. All humans are inherently creative. We reject perfectionism and focus instead on the healing aspect of creating and making. So, make time to create!
