DIY Punch Needle Rainbow Wall Hanging

DIY Rainbow Punch Needle

The punch rug craze has taken over and by the looks of things isn’t going anywhere fast. With good reason really. It’s such an easy and fun craft. The results are beautiful and you can make a simple wall hanging like this in about an hour. Yes, even if you are a beginner! I love trying new techniques but sometimes it can be expensive (and take a lot of Googling) to find supplies and instructions. It took me days to learn about punch needling (this was two years ago now) before it became more popular. And the only needles (and… Read More

Prettypegs Platsa Hessian Doors

DIY Hessian Cabinet Doors

I have a few big DIY and room makeovers planned for 2019. I’m slowly (and painfully) realising that a baby and renovations are a tricky mix, so I’m practicing some self care this year and giving myself much longer timelines to work to. The biggest project I have planned is the attic room/my home office/spare bedroom. This room needs to do a lot. It’s not easy (impossible in fact) for me to get into my studio every day so I need somewhere at home to work. But, a lot like my studio, it started off organised and clear of my craft clutter… Read More

DIY Grooved Wooden Platter

DIY Grooved Wood Platter

I’ve decided that the router is my new favourite power tool. But just a few months ago I didn’t have a clue a) how to use one and b) what on earth you might use it for. Not that something like that has ever stopped me before. But this time I kind of put this project to the bottom of my to-do list. Honesty, I was nervous. I was going to use a tool I’d never used before and was (I think quite sensibly) pretty apprehensive about clicking on the battery. The thing is this couldn’t have been easier to use!… Read More

DIY Printed Table Runner with Vintage Paints

DIY Printed Table Runner with Vintage Paint

It’s time to get the good china out. Or in our house the ‘styling’ tableware. The stuff I only use in photo shoots because someone can’t be trusted with breakables and a tiled kitchen floor. But I throw caution to the wind at this time of year (which is probably not the only thing that will be thrown.. Me? Bitter? No, of course not…) Usually I cover the table with a big white tablecloth and set up over that, but this year I actually have a table to be proud of. It gets so many positive comments from all our… Read More

DIY Faux Embossed Gift Tags with Duck Tape | Fall For DIY

DIY Faux Embossed Gift Tags

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Duck Brand®. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve been using recycled packaging in most of my Christmas wrapping for a few years now. Not only does it make me feel slightly better about doing a lot of my shopping online, but it pushes me to be more creative with my gifts. It’s fun to see someone get a kick out of your present before they’ve even unwrapped it! This year I have a lot of cardboard recycling so I’ve been thinking of ways to reuse this. After playing around… Read More

How to make the Perfect Grandparent Gift

Making Ollen’s Memory Book – How to make the Perfect Grandparent Gift

When Ollen was born we were given a beautiful baby memories book. The kind you print out photos and add in details month by month. How many photos have we printed out? A massive zero. We did manage to write down a few memories from each month so far – with help from our camera feeds to jog our memories – but it’s yet another job on the list to feel guilty about not getting around to. I knew I wanted to get the photos off my phone. Yeah, it’s great having everything backed up in 15 different electronic places… Read More

DIY Photo Tree Advent Calendar

DIY Photo Tree Advent Calendar made with Adobe Photoshop Elements

The holidays are almost here and I am starting to get that festive feeling. In fact as soon as I feel the first chill of winter I’m all about Christmas. I have to reign myself in when it comes to Christmas decorating. I would start mid November if I had my way. One of my favourite traditions is the advent calendar because it’s not only acceptable, but mandatory you start your advent calendar on December 1st. For me it’s the perfect way to count down the days and celebrate the festive period for its entirety. Building the suspense each day… Read More

Fall For DIY x Working Clasp Collaboration | Help us launch our Kickstarter!

It’s happening!! After a little false start last week we are launching our Kickstarter campaign today! It’s just given me more time to get nervous this weekend. But I feel like the nerves are finally turning to excitement. It’s been a while since I’ve launched a project. I’ve actually had hundreds of ideas throughout my pregnancy and the last 9 months (How is that even right!?) but it’s taken a collaboration with my friend from Working Clasp to get any of my ideas into fruition. I lost my confidence and spent way too much time procrastinating over the smallest details…. Read More
