I love good gift packaging. While the gift is obviously the main thing, good packaging adds so much to the excitement of opening the gift. Being able to make your own custom gift packaging takes it up even another notch. For a recent festive gift idea I made this gorgeous little acetate box with festive…

Tooth fairy jar and bag // Cricut DIY
We haven’t had any teeth fall out in our house yet, but I want to be ready when it happens. I can just imagine that it’ll be mid exam week or some other very busy week. Thankfully Cricut makes it really easy to customise a simple little bag and jar. We are officially ready for…
Flower Lollipop Holder // Cricut DIY
We absolutely loved making reindeer lollipop holders for my daughter’s school friends for Christmas time last year, so when I had some lollipops that we’d bought for her party we decided to design another DIY cardstock lollipop holder that she could give to each friend as they were leaving her princess birthday party. Flower Lollipop…
Palm Leaf Gift Tags // DIY
Yesterday was my sister-in-law’s baby shower and it was so good to celebrate her and her little baba. One of the things she wanted was to send each guest home with a little something to remind them to pray, send a message or offer her support over the next few weeks. I’m all for fun…
Geometric Wall Vinyls DIY // Free Cricut Project & SVG
One of the easiest ways to update a space is by adding some simple vinyl sticker decals to the wall. It’s great for a rental space too, as you can just remove them when you need to. Being able to make my own vinyl stickers is one of my favourite things about die-cutting and by…
Bound Notebooks DIY // Homeology
Are you trying to get a bit more organised this year? I’m becoming more and more of a fan of lists. Probably as, at any given moment, I have more and more going on in my mind. Make these little bound notebooks in 10 minutes flat and let them house all your lists, recipe, memories and…
Easy Wooden Cake Stand // DIY
We’ve all had that time where you’ve got a beautiful cake (maybe one you’ve slaved over for hours), you expect it to look amazing on the table with the rest of the snacks at your party, but then it just looks, well, meh! It somehow gets lost amongst the rest of the food. Or is that…
Activity Ideas Jar DIY // Homeology
So often we get to a weekend or a bit of spare time and ask ourselves “What should we do?”. Of course, in those times we can never remember all the things that we’ve been saying that we should really do or places we should go. How frustrating! To help solve this problem, I’ve made…
Copper Photo Holders // DIY
I’ve had these cute little copper photo holders hanging around on my desk for ages and finally got around to taking their photos today. As I’ve said before, I am so terrible at printing out and putting up photos. Half the problem is that I don’t know where to put them and photo frames take…
Cork Mousepad // DIY
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…
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…
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!
Tangram Magnets // DIY
Air dry clay is a great craft material and works so well for these simple, but effective, tangram magnets.
Gold jar detail DIY // Tutorial
Easy DIYs are the BEST! Especially if they can be used for that last minute gift that you forgot to buy. We’ve all had those at some stage, haven’t we 🙂 This one is so easy and can turn a relatively boring jar (or anything else you’d like) into a lovely gift. Of course, you…
