Okay, so you’re obsessed with Billie Eilish. I get it. I’ve spent way too many hours analyzing her lyrics, attempting (and failing) to replicate her makeup, and wondering how she makes baggy clothes look like high fashion. But what’s a superfan to do when you’ve already memorized every single Happier Than Ever B-side and you’re just counting down the days until the next tour announcement?
You craft. Duh.
Forget buying overpriced merch for a second. I’ve put together a list of seven ridiculously fun and easy DIY Billie Eilish crafts that will let you show off your fandom in a big way. They’re perfect for your bedroom, your next concert, or just to flex your creative muscles. Let’s get started, shall we?
1. The “Blohsh” Perler Bead Keychain
You can’t have a Billie Eilish craft list without paying homage to her iconic blohsh logo, right? That little stick figure guy with the slanted shoulders is basically the Nike swoop of the Eilish empire. This is probably the easiest project on the list, and it’s a massive mood.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Perler beads (in your fave Billie color—neon green is classic, but I’m a sucker for black or a deep blohsh red)
- A square Perler bead pegboard
- Parchment paper and an iron
- Keychain ring and lobster clasp
Let’s make it:
- First, find a simple blohsh template online. Just search “blohsh perler bead pattern.” It’s literally just a bunch of squares.
- Place your beads on the pegboard following the pattern. This is the zen part. Put on some Guitar Songs and just vibe.
- Once you’re done, carefully cover your design with parchment paper and gently iron it in a circular motion until the beads fuse. Pro tip: Don’t over-iron! You want them to melt together, but you don’t want to lose the individual bead look. Let it cool completely.
- Peel it off the board, attach it to the keychain ring, and bam. You’ve got the coolest keychain in town. I’ve had one on my bag for months, and I’ve gotten so many compliments (and confused looks from parents).
2. Custom “Hit Me Hard and Soft” Spray-Painted Tee
Okay, with her new album out, we all need updated gear. But the official stuff can be pricey, and sometimes you just want something that no one else has. This method is a little messy, but the payoff is so worth it. It gives that edgy, graffiti-style look that fits her aesthetic perfectly.
Gather your supplies:
- A plain black or white t-shirt (100% cotton works best)
- Fabric spray paint (in a few colors—neon green, blue, or even a soft pink)
- Cardboard
- Painter’s tape or stencil vinyl
- An X-Acto knife
Step-by-step:
- Create your stencil. Print out the Hit Me Hard and Soft title in a bold, chunky font. Use your X-Acto knife to carefully cut out the letters. You’ll be left with a stencil. Alternatively, you can use painter’s tape to map out a cool geometric design.
- Place the cardboard inside the shirt. This is crucial so the paint doesn’t bleed through to the back.
- Tape your stencil securely onto the front of the shirt. Make sure the edges are pressed down tight.
- In a well-ventilated area (outside is best), follow the instructions on your fabric spray paint. Hold the can about 6-8 inches away and apply light, even coats. It’s better to do two light coats than one heavy, drippy one.
- Carefully peel off the stencil while the paint is still slightly damp. Let the shirt dry completely according to the paint’s instructions.
- Once dry, you’ll probably need to heat-set it with an iron (again, check your paint’s directions) before you wash it.
3. Recycled Magazine Collage Wall Art
Billie’s album covers and photoshoots are always visually stunning. Why not turn them into a piece of art for your wall? This is a fantastic way to use up old magazines, and it looks way more expensive than it is.
What you need:
- Old magazines (or you can print out pictures from online)
- A canvas (any size you like)
- Mod Podge (matte or gloss—your choice!)
- A foam brush
- Scissors
How to do it:
- Go through your magazines and rip or cut out any images that give you Billie Eilish vibes. Think: moody landscapes, text from her interviews, close-ups of eyes, the colors from her Happier Than Ever cover. Don’t overthink it!
- Arrange them on your canvas without gluing first. Play around with the layout until you love it. You can overlap them, tear the edges for a grungier look, or keep them neat and tidy.
- Once you’re happy, start gluing. Use the foam brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the back of a piece, stick it down, then brush a thin layer over the top to seal it.
- Cover the whole canvas, letting the pieces overlap and create a new, unified image.
- Let it dry completely. Hang it up and admire your work. It’s like a physical mood board for your favorite artist. I made one of these for my dorm room and it was the best conversation starter.
4. Polymer Clay Blohsh Earrings
Time to take the blohsh to the next level. If you’re into jewelry making, or just want a fun afternoon project, these earrings are the way to go. They’re bold, they’re fun, and they scream “I’m a fan.”
Supplies:
- Polymer clay (in your chosen Billie colors)
- A small rolling pin or acrylic roller
- A craft knife
- Earring posts or hooks
- Jewelry glue (like E6000)
- An oven (for baking the clay)
Let’s get crafty:
- Condition your clay by kneading it in your hands until it’s soft and pliable.
- Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Using your craft knife, carefully cut out the blohsh shape. You might want to draw a template on paper first and use it as a guide.
- Smooth out any rough edges with your finger.
- If you’re feeling fancy, you can add details. I like to roll tiny little balls of a contrasting color and press them in for a polka-dot effect.
- Bake the clay according to the package instructions.
- Once cooled, glue the earring post to the back of the blohsh. Let the glue cure for the recommended time (usually 24 hours). And that’s it! You’ve got custom, one-of-a-kind earrings. Fair warning: They are a little heavy, so maybe save these for a night out, not a long day of running errands.
5. “Therefore I Am” Lyric Glow-in-the-Dark Jars
This one is so simple, it almost feels like cheating. But the result is pure magic. It’s perfect for a nightlight or just adding a little spooky, ethereal glow to your room, which is totally on-brand.
You’ll need:
- Clean glass jars (Mason jars work great, or recycle an old pasta sauce jar)
- Glow-in-the-dark paint
- A paintbrush
- A permanent marker or paint pen
Here’s the simple process:
- First, paint the inside of your jars with the glow-in-the-dark paint. Just squirt some in and swirl it around until the entire inside surface is coated. You might need a couple of coats for maximum glow power.
- Turn the jars upside down on some wax paper to let the excess paint drip out and dry.
- Once the paint is completely dry, use your permanent marker to write your favorite Billie lyric on the outside. My personal pick is “I’m not your friend or anything, damn,” but “I’m the bad guy, duh” is also a solid choice.
- Charge them up under a bright light or the sun, and then turn off the lights. Instant mood lighting! They make the coolest decor, IMO.
6. Duct Tape “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” Poster
Remember the iconic When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? album cover? The one with Billie in all white, looking like she’s in a creepy, clean void? We’re going to recreate that vibe, but with duct tape. It’s a fun twist on a classic.
What you need:
- A black poster board
- White duct tape (get the real craft kind, it’s easier to work with)
- Scissors
- A picture of the album cover for reference
The fun part:
- This is more abstract than exact. We’re not trying to make a perfect replica. We’re going for the feeling.
- Start by making Billie’s figure. You can create the shape of her head, the flowy white shirt, and her pants by tearing or cutting the white duct tape and layering it onto the black poster board. It’s like a puzzle.
- Don’t worry about small details like her face. The stark white against the black background is what makes it pop. You can even leave some gaps where the black shows through for a cool, distressed look.
- Use strips of tape to create the shadows and folds in her clothing. The matte finish of craft duct tape actually looks amazing for this.
7. Painted Denim Jacket with Fan Art
A denim jacket is a blank canvas. And what better way to customize it than with art dedicated to your favorite musician? This is a chance to really let your creativity shine. You don’t have to be a professional artist, I promise.
Get ready with:
- A denim jacket (thrifted is even better!)
- Fabric paint and a variety of brush sizes
- A pencil for sketching
- Cardboard (to put inside the jacket)
Your masterpiece awaits:
- Slide the cardboard inside the jacket to prevent paint from bleeding through.
- Lightly sketch your design with a pencil. This could be a portrait of Billie, the blohsh logo, a list of your favorite songs, or a scene from a music video. I’m a huge fan of the “Happier Than Ever” album aesthetic, so I painted a moody cloudscape on the back of mine.
- Start painting! Use the fabric paint and take your time. It’s okay if it’s not perfect—that’s what makes it art.
- You can use smaller brushes for details and larger ones for filling in background areas.
- Let the paint dry completely, then heat-set it with an iron (following the paint’s instructions) so it’s washable and wearable.
