This is the first and probably not be the last time you’ll see arrowheads here on Fall For DIY. They’re a current obsession of mine and I have quite a few ideas for creating jewellery, artwork and home wares inspired by this iconic shape. The thing I think I love about them most is the rough, individual texture and shape. You know exactly what they are when you see one, yet no two are the same. That makes it an excellent DIY project – you can’t go wrong! Materials: Air Dry Clay Gold Leaf Flakes Paint Brush Necklace Chain –… Read More
Make it Easy: Chloé Inspired Chain Rings
Perusing for jewellery inspiration (/pretend shopping when I’m bored at work) I came across this Chloé Carly Gold-Tone Ring that is a great Make it Easy project and so quick you could have them ready for a bit of Friday night fun! You’ll need: 2 x 1 Loop Ring Base 5cm/2″ Thin Link Chain If your chain links are not sealed open one link either end (the same way you would with a jump ring), hook it onto the ring and then close again. If you cannot open your chain links use jump rings to attach the chain to the ring loops. That’s… Read More
DIY Pearl TOMS
When Buzzfeed contacted me about a potential DIY collaboration with TOMS I jumped at the chance. TOMS is a lovely ethical company that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need each and every time a pair is bought. I’ve been an admirer of theirs for some time now and was delighted to get my hands on a pair to customise. Me and 10 other bloggers put our skills to the test to create this amazing range of DIY TOMS on Buzzfeed. Here’s how I did mine: Materials: TOMS 100 Plastic Flat Back Pearls E-6000 Glue Cotton Bud… Read More
DIY Concrete Desk Tidy
Decorating my flat is an ongoing project I think I’ll never be fully satisfied with. Along with changing trends and new ideas I have my office to deal with. This room is my nemesis. As soon as I think I get it right it becomes cluttered and messy again. It doesn’t help that I hoard any materials that might come in useful one day (just in case) and I have absolutely no system of keeping them. That’s why I’m dedicating myself to more office/craft room organisation tutorials starting with this cute little desk tidy. Small steps right? Materials: Concrete. I’ve… Read More
Fall For… DIY Marble
My love for marble is going nowhere. I’ve already shared a few marbling DIY’s with you here on the blog (see my Marbled Gem Stone post above) and the more I see others experimenting with the pattern, the more I want that swirly little bad boy in my life. I’ve got some idea I want to make a start on this weekend and can hopefully share with you guys soon, but until then I’m going to share my favourite Marble DIY from some awesome bloggers below. Make sure you go and check them out!
DIY Concrete Bracelets
Do you guys read Brit + Co? I’ve been a long time reader of the site and in the past year I’ve watched the website grow and become a fantastic resource (and work distraction), so I’m actually over the moon to announce I am now a freelance DIY-er for Brit + Co. How flippin exciting! The great thing about the site is that you have your own profile and can save your favourites to come back to. One of my favourites has to be this hilarious article that makes me really want to watch Friends all over again! This is… Read More
DIY Woven Wall Hanging
If you’ve ever delved into the world of knitting or crochet I’m betting you have enough yarn stashed away to clothe a small army (ok, a very small army… of children). My studio is full of bundles of left over scraps and balls bought with the best intentions so I decided to gather up a few and give them a purpose in life using my new (DIY) peg loom. I’d seen a lot of woven wall hangings floating around the Pinosphere (like that?) and wanted to give it a go! 1. Cut and thread metre lengths of a neutral coloured yarn into… Read More
How to Make a Peg Loom
It’s always really tricky when posting tutorials of two parts. Which part do I post first? The two tutorials I’m indirectly referring to today are (this post) How to Make a Peg Loom and a DIY Woven Wall Hanging tutorial that I’ve decided is coming later on this week. I’m so excited about sharing the wall hanging but thought I’d better hold back and prepare you all with the tools required to make it first! So here we are, make this tutorial in preparation for Tuesdays Tutorial. And while you’re at it come over and follow Fall For DIY on… Read More
