DIY Halloween Pom Pom Pumpkin Earrings

The pumpkin love continues today on the blog. So who here doesn’t want to rock Pom Pom earrings at the moment? Yep no one (sorry if you just raised your hand but I’m going ahead with this line of thought anyway!) And just to make them even more on trend for the season I’ve given them a gourd makeover! Big and bold earrings are definitely having a moment so don’t be afraid to wear these just because. You don’t need Halloween to pull off pumpkin accessories, no, no, no. But if you are more shy about your pumpkin love then… Read More

DIY Concrete & Wire Ring Holders

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Blue Nile UK. All opinions are 100% mine. Being able to make my own jewellery has always come in useful. It makes a great gift in a pinch and it’s saved me from turning up with yet another bottle of wine countless times. Like these twisted wire rings or the beaded rings I’ve used in this post. But there are times when whipping up an easy necklace or simple ring just won’t cut it. A special occasion deserves more than something I’ve rescued out of my box of jewellery findings.   For those times… Read More

50 Must Do DIYs | September

September is usually one of my favourite months. Here in the UK you can pretty much guarantee two weeks of summer a year. One in March and one in September. The latter is like one final chance to throw on your favourite summer dress and enjoy the sun on your skin before covering up for the next 6 months. This year September totally let me down and it rained for the whole month. I know this because I finally managed to find a clear day to paint my bedroom skirting outside, two days ago. But with the weather keeping me… Read More

Pumpkin Pie Pop Tart Recipe | @fallfordiy

Pumpkin Pie Pop Tart with Chai Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe (Vegan Friendly)

Pumpkin is one of those fantastic flavours you can create sweet and savoury dishes with. I remember trying pumpkin pie for the first time and feeling like autumn had exploded in my mouth. There’s a reason everyone gets excited about those pumpkin lattes at his time of year (even though for me they’re WAY too sweet!) Those spices added to the creamy sweetness of a pie are the perfect antidote to months of summery, sugar overload. Combine that with a weighty pumpkin filling and you get the ultimate comfort food for this time of year. I like my pumpkin packed with spice, so these… Read More

DIY Pumpkin Top Tassels

DIY Pumpkin Top Tassels

Although we don’t ‘do’ Halloween all out over here in the UK, I still love the creativity it brings with it. And as the days get colder and the nights darker it’s actually really fun to work on a project that’s just less serious and a bit fun. Halloween gives us the perfect excuse to do this (and get some practice in for all the Christmas crafting that’s coming up!) These DIY Pumpkin Top Tassels are just the thing to cheer up an autumnal evening and a bit of fun for Halloween! The best thing about them is you get… Read More

DIY Quickest Fabric Drawstring Bag | @fallfordiy

DIY Quick and Easy Fabric Drawstring Bags

I get asked a lot about whether I write DIY’s and tutorials based on what I want to make or what I think people want me to make. The truth is I do a bit of both. Mostly making things I want to make but that are different and interesting for you guys reading. These can be based on trends, new design ideas or something that is and always will be useful. This latter category always tend to do well and that’s why after making 500 of these little fabric drawstring bags it suddenly occurred to me that it might… Read More

DIY Polymer Clay Knot Paperweight

Hello friends! It’s almost the weekend which means we need something easy and very pleasing to get us through the last few hours of work. Which is exactly why I’m sharing this DIY polymer clay knot paperweight tutorial with you today. After working on my shelf game over the summer it’s time to start upping my shelfie one. Who doesn’t love a beautifully styled shelf!? And that means adding in a few smaller objects to bring everything I already own together. I don’t want to buy more so it’s down to good old DIY. Instructions 1. Work the clay into a… Read More

IRL | Why we're not Finding out the Gender | @fallfordiy

IRL | Why we’re not Finding out the Gender

If you live in the UK you most likely have an opinion on John Lewis’ children’s clothing right now. If you don’t live here then chances are you haven’t got a clue what I’m talking about. Let’s just say it hasn’t only been Brexit dividing the nation this year. Last week John Lewis announced they were removing the gender labels from its children’s clothing and it was the most controversial piece of news since Lily Allen last spoke about… well, anything. With so many strong opinions about gender in children being voiced I thought it was about time I wrote… Read More
