Hi, I’m Kristianna — your best friend that recommends 

I’m a professional rhinestone artist, lifelong creative, and instructor who believes that confidence isn’t something you’re born with… it’s something you create.

What began as a love for making things with my hands has grown into a full creative world — from rhinestoning custom pieces to teaching others how to bring their own ideas to life. Over the years, I’ve worked across multiple mediums including rhinestones, embroidery, polymer clay, and more — always with one goal in mind: helping others feel proud of what they create, and making crafting beginner-friendly.

Through my brand, Maker & Muse Co., I teach both kids and adults how to build real skills, explore their creativity, and gain confidence through hands-on learning. Whether it’s through in-person classes, maker kits, or online content, I’m passionate about making creativity feel accessible, fun, and empowering.

But here’s the thing — I’m also incredibly intentional about what I use and recommend.

As a creator, I know how frustrating it is to waste money on supplies that don’t work, tools that break, or trends that don’t live up to the hype. That’s why I’ve stepped into this role as your “best friend that recommends.” If I share it, it’s because I’ve tested it, used it, and genuinely love it.

From rhinestone supplies and must-have craft tools to my favorite Amazon finds, everything I recommend is chosen with purpose — to help you create better, easier, and with more confidence.

Let’s make something beautiful together!

With Love & Belief in You,

— Kristianna

Hey bestie!

If you're someone who LOVES color, crafting and and all things sparkly, you found the right place! My social media features a "Craft of the Day" wheel that helps my ADHD brain decide what I am working on each day! Whether it for a quick 15 minute project a long-term creation, I have decided to compile tutorials so you can replicate things that you see!
