Not all DIYs work out the way you had originally imagined them. As a DIY blogger you have to get used to changing your plan as you go and hoping that it turns out even BETTER than the plan. This is one of those. My computer mouse really doesn’t work all that well if I use it…

Hexagon Cement Coaster // DIY
Are you a coffee or tea addict? To be honest, I’m more of a hot chocolate fan. Or red cappuccino, that’s delicious too! Whatever your drink of choice, you want to protect your furniture from those nasty water stains. I always struggle to find coasters that I like (and can afford). So, as I tend…
Stationery Holder DIY // Tutorial
This has got to be the easiest DIY I’ve done. Sometimes there just isn’t time for fancy! My desk is almost ALWAYS a mess. Having a new studio desk was supposed to help me stay tidy. Instead, I just push everything out the way when it’s time to take photos. Whoops! Last week I spent…
Raised Copper Pot Plant Stand DIY // Tutorial
Is it OK to want to make everything out of copper now? I think so. After making the mini pot plant holder, I just had to create more. I’ve already told you about my obsession with plants, so naturally the next project was a way to bring a new plant into the house. This raised copper pot…
Instagram Magnets DIY // Homeology
Are you as bad as I am at printing out photos? No really, I’m terrible. It’s one of the major downfalls of the digital photography era. Instead of having our beautiful memories displayed, they are all just hidden away on a hard-drive, maybe never to be seen again. These little DIY Instagram Magnets are my first…
My Favourite Brush Lettered Fonts – Part 1
There are so many AMAZING fonts out there these days. Sometimes I find it incredibly difficult to choose just one. At the moment I’m really loving the gorgeous hand lettered brush scripts that keep popping up. To round up a selection of my favourites I’ve had to split it up into parts. Here’s part one:
Spray Painted Gift Tags // Tutorial and Free Download
Buying gifts ahead of time is not something I’m all that good at. I’ll often have to quickly run to the shop just before a party to try find the right gift and still include a DIY touch. Then again, I’m not all that good at being on time at all… Anyway, the point is that…
Chocolate Coated Pretzels // DIY
One of my favourite treats has always been chocolate coated pretzels. I somehow fool myself into thinking it’s a healthier option (and well, chocolate). Shop bought ones always leave me feeling disappointed though (because well, not enough chocolate). My obvious solution is always to make my own homemade ones and you can too!
DIY Paper Pinwheel Cupcake Toppers // Tutorial
Cupcakes are cute, but who can beat cupcakes with a DIY touch? I’m all for DIY’s that are quick, but add loads of detail. These DIY paper pinwheel cupcake toppers are just that! Once you’ve got everything together (the hardest part of most DIYs, right?), these will just take about 2 minutes each. The bonus? They…
DIY Marble Clock // Tutorial
When we moved into our house we found that the previous owners had left a clock in almost every single room. Some of them came in handy, but my crafty brain (read “hoarder”) made me hold onto the extra one so that I could use the mechanism. Finally, 3 years later, I’ve made a new DIY…

Christmas Cracker DIY // Free Download and Tutorial
The holiday feeling is hitting, even though I’m not actually on holiday (SIGH!). I’m trying to steal a mini-holiday each day. Christmas is just around the corner and that means family time and fun. A nice bonus is getting to pull Christmas crackers and make a nice loud bang 🙂 Why not impress your family…
Tangram Magnets // DIY
Air dry clay is a great craft material and works so well for these simple, but effective, tangram magnets.
How to use transfer paper // Tutorial
One of the trickiest things about working with vinyl (or any other material) is when you want to stick separate pieces onto your item, but need them to be in a specific place. Trying to move them once they are already sticky is a nightmare and if you don’t get them right it may just irritate you…
Advent calendar DIY printable // Free download
It’s just over a week to go until the official advent calendar countdown to Christmas begins! Are you getting excited yet? If you’re still struggling to get into the Christmas spirit then a good way to start is by making something in preparation for Christmas. I know this time of year gets a little (read…
