I’m currently in the middle of designing a new range of jewellery to sell on my Etsy shop. One of the great things about having this time to experiment with designs is that I’m actually using new tools and components that I have previously overlooked or have been unable to find a suitable use for. This is giving me tons of new ideas for new tutorials that I just had to share. How ace is that!? One of the things I’ve found out is jump rings don’t have to be rings. (Why are they called jump rings anyway!?) These triangular jump rings… Read More
DIY Collar & Chain Necklace
I’ve been loving a more minimalist look for many aspects of my clothes and accessories recently. I love a well fitting pair of jeans or trousers teamed with a simple leather strip of sandal and a plain jumper or t-shirt. I know, that sounds incredibly dull, but instead of focussing on the details these items show form and shape. An area of fashion I have vastly overlooked in the past. This collar and chain necklace works perfectly with this look, accentuating the neckline and decorating it in the same breath. And do you know what the best thing about minimalist… Read More
DIY Blogging|Blog Hop
If you’re a regular reader you might have noticed a change in Fall For DIY recently. I’ve been making a conscious effort to show my personality more in both the DIYs I choose and within my writing voice. I think it’s this change that has been the catalyst in me connecting with more people, all over the world. So when the gorgeous Teri from The Lovely Draw (please go and read this blog. It’s fantastic!) passed me the blog hop it seemed like an ideal opportunity to open up a little more about me and my reasons for blogging. I’ve been working on… Read More
How To Make Your Own Beads
You know when your digging through your beads looking for the perfect ones? Yeah, that happens to me a lot. I’ll spend an hour trying to find some I saw yesterday. Where did I put them? I just saw them! Why can’t I find these beads now? Sound familiar. One day I will implement some kind of system, but until then I’ll spent my time looking for beads, or solutions. Like making your own beads! I know this is a little far fetched for some beads. I’m not talking glass and metals (not yet anyway) but it’s dead easy to… Read More
Fall For… Sensational Summer
For the past two days I’ve worn dresses to work… Me, in dresses. That’s how I know summer has really kicked in. It’s definitely time to bring out the BBQ and start serving up the ice cold cocktails and of course, this means scouting for some scorching summer DIYs to make your outdoor dining even hotter!

DIY Leopard Print Slip Ons
I don’t know if you guys remember my marbled slip on tutorial I wrote way back sometime in March. I loved this DIY. I loved the shoes even more. So much in fact that I’ve worn the marbling right off them! To be fair, they have gone through a wash a couple of times (Paris, whilst lovely was very poluted) and the marbling has turned into these paint splatters that just look like I’ve been redecorating. I figured they needed a new lease of life and I also needed to use up some of my fabric stash. (Remember that? I’m… Read More
How to Reverse Indigo Shibori / Tie Dye
I don’t know if many of you know this but I have a degree in textile design. It’s been a while since I finished but I’m still fascinated with texture, pattern and surface design especially of tactile materials like fabric and porcelain. What I absolutely love is pattern made from random formations and gradients, so you can imagine how excited I was to find a really easy way to create this fabric at home with old denim jeans off cuts. There are two different techniques I’m going to show you in this tutorial; Shibori and tie dye. Lets start with… Read More
Make it Easy: Miu Miu Fringed Leather Shoulder Bag
For me this summer is all about tassels, fringing, long dangly bits that move in the breeze and reveal sun-kissed skin. There’s something opulent in the organic way fringing moves, swaying individually, but surging all as one. It appears I’m not the only one obsessed with these tasselled delights. Basically if you can wear it, you can get a tassel on it. And why not!? I love this Miu Miu Fringed Leather Bag. Most of us will have a black leather handbag lying around unused somewhere. Why not give it a new lease of life? Materials: Leather Shoulder Bag Faux… Read More
