Calling all Livvies! Olivia Rodrigo just dropped her new album, and we couldn’t be more obsessed. Vintage, crafty and girly all at the same time, we are totally hooked on her new aesthetic. Ready to make your bedroom look like something out of the “what’s wrong with me” lyric video? Start by DIYing one of these amaze (and totally Olivia-approved) crafts.
OR3 Trinket Dish
What you need: Air-dry clay, pressed flowers, mini star stickers, other embellishments, Mod Podge and metallic gold paint.
Looking for a new home for your bobby pins, house keys and extra earring backs? Look no further, the Livvies have got you! Start your YLPSFAGSIL-inspired trinket dish by molding its basic shape with your hands out of air-dry clay and rounding up your cutest vintage stickers, fabric scraps and dried flowers. Mod Podge your decorations onto your dish once it’s dry, then add another Mod Podge layer on top to seal your design up. All done? Not so fast. Add a little vintage flair by lining the edges of your trinket dish with gold paint to finish up.
Unraveled Tour Tote Bag
What you need: Any type of tote bag, red yarn, a darning needle and fabric chalk.
Sketch out an OR3-themed message (may we suggest “unraveled”, “the cure” or “drop dead”?) onto your tote with fabric chalk and use your darning needle to stitch along the lines with some bold red yarn. Feel free to add in some extra squiggles or designs along the edges– the more whimsy, the more Olivia. Once you tie off your yarn, you can even try leaving its uncut ends sticking out of the front of the bag to match Olivia’s look at the heart-wrenching ending of “the cure”’s music vid.
Flower Picture Frame
What you need: Dried flowers, pastel pink and white paint pens and a double-sided glass floating picture frame.
Open up your picture frame and arrange some delicate pressed flowers in it (pink, pls!). Close the frame up and use your paint pens to sketch some messy doodles, squiggly stars and loopy hearts right on to the glass. Cute desk decor = done.
Livvie Collage Phone Case
What you need: A cheap, clear phone case, colored paper, any girly embellishments and Mod Podge.
The goal here? To make your phone case look like a page out of Olivia Rodrigo’s junk journal. Take any OR3-coded decorations you can find (we’re talking whimsical stickers, magazine clippings, hazy Polaroids, bits of ribbon and *tons* of pink construction paper) and start organizing your mini collage. The key to success? Try to make it as messy as possible (in a good way). Once you’ve got it all planned out, slather the inside of the phone case with Mod Podge and glue your adorbs collage right down. Trust us, this aesthetic will bring your phone case to the next level.
“the cure” Candles
What you need: A tall white pillar candle, pink lace/ribbon and a dark red candle.
The perfect mix of cute and dangerous, these candles combine both the “in love” and “pretty sad” aesthetics of Olivia’s new album. Start this craft by tying your pink lace or ribbon in a tight bow across the middle of the white pillar candle. Then, melt the dark red candle until its liquid wax. Carefully drip the liquid candle over the white one so that the red wax cascades over the cutesy lace bow like blood. Looking familiar? Maybe you’re thinking of a certain dollhouse hospital…
