12 Shades of Christmas Day Two | DIY Marble Gift Labels

One of my favourite ways to be creative during the festive season is through gift giving. If you are one of those super organised people who start preparing for Christmas in June, then you may already have been busy making gifts for those lucky loved ones. But if you’re late to the game like me, you still have time to add a personal touch to your presents without missing out on all the festivities. You don’t have to lock yourself away for the next month working your fingers to the bone. Cinderella you will go to the Christmas party. Your… Read More

12 Shades of Christmas Day One | Painted Christmas Tree Shelf

I’ve always been a little scared to explore colour with my Christmas decorations. It’s just so easy to get it wrong and make it all look, well, a little, let’s say… gaudy. Looking back I’ve found that I tend to shy away from the more colourful side of Christmas and as a consequence my decorations have been left lacking the spirit of the festive period. I love the Scandi winter look but is it possible to achieve this and add fun colours in the process? Well apparently it is! Lucky for me Dulux were on hand to help me pick… Read More

Black Friday Sale

Sometimes in life you have to jump on board and ride that bandwagon. So today we’re offering our first Black Friday deal because well, why not? This time of year can quickly get pretty pricey so a discount here and there can go a long way. That is why we are offering a site wide 25% discount on all our We Make Collective materials, ecourses and subscriptions for this weekend. (Yes I am extending Black Friday, because we all have lives right? We sometimes need a day or two to it together.) Just enter the code BlackFriday at the checkout!… Read More

Make a DIY Floating Pod Advent Calendar Mobile

The countdown to Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. As it gets colder and darker, reminding us that the end (of the year) is nigh, the countdown to Christmas feels like the time to look back and remember. I love using my advent calendar to take stock of the last year and actually make time to remember the good things,because it’s way too easy to dwell on the bad. Last year I did this with a memory bottle advent calendar, but I missed having a little treat every day too! (I’m a sucker for a chocolate countdown.) So… Read More

DIY Cork Bench

You guys! The last week has been a long, tedious seven days, battling behind the scenes to get us back online. After both Fall For DIY and We Make Collective went down we ended up moving both the sites, which was not nearly as simple as it sounds. And a week spent staring at my screen had me completely cold turkey creatively. So, as soon as we were back up online I gave myself a little breather and made this DIY cork bench for the entranceway to my new studio layout. This bench has actually been with me for many… Read More

10 Super Quick and Easy Last Minute Halloween Party Ideas

Halloween ideas are like buses. You wait all month for one and then 10 come at once. I struggle every year for exciting and interesting Halloween ideas. It might be because here in the UK we’re very ‘on theme’ with our Halloween decor and fancy dress. I grew up with the spooky season being all about the horror and gore, which is so much fun when you have children around, but until I have some small humans I can scare the living daylights out of I find it hard to make the decor more cute and adult. But sometimes in life… Read More
