DIY Howling Halloween Letter Treat Bags

There are many reasons I love this DIY. It’s very inexpensive, you probably have everything you need already in the house, it’s easy to make and, most importantly it has stopped me eating all the treats before I get to give them away! The trick with these letter bags is to make the thickness of each letter wide enough, with lots of space inside once they are sewn up. Using baking paper means the letter bags are strong enough but easy to rip open once you want to get to what’s inside. And because the paper is just a little… Read More

December’s We Make Collective Kit & Call for Contributors

We’re taking orders for Decembers We Make Collective kit! This one is very special to me, not only because it’s our second kit (which means we made it past the first one!!) but also because of what I hope to get out from it. My goal is to create a learning experience in each kit for every subscriber and that is exactly what I want to personally get from these supplies as well. Now I’m not a complete novice – I’ve done a little hand lettering in the past, but I have a lot to learn to be confident with my… Read More

DIY Embossed Autumn Leaf Candle

It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of these colder, darker nights. I spend 6 months of my year wishing it was the other half. Yes,  I’m in love the summer. I like the freedom of leaving the house at a moments notice without having to think about putting on a coat (does it go with this outfit?) or finding an umbrella to somehow fit into my handbag just in case. I love walking out at 9pm an it’s still daylight. I feel like I have more time and a lot more fun options to fill it with. So,… Read More

DIY Granite Stone Effect Magazine Rack

I have a confession to make. I wanted to do this tutorial today so I could join in with the cool kids. I’ve seen some of my favourite bloggers playing with this granite stone effect spray and I wanted to get a piece of the action! Namely this vase on Burkatron, these candles on The Lovely Drawer and these planters over on Almost Makes Perfect. And that’s not even taking into account how unbelievably easy it was to put this together. Something I always love of course.   Materials Stone effect spray paint | Magazine file Take the magazine file apart, carefully peeling back the join. Lay flat… Read More

DIY Pattern Blocked Pillow

I’ve been away from the blog for most of this week because we have been packing up our We Make Collective kits ready to send out today! So even though I’m more than excited about our first kit range/ tutorials launching, I also miss this little space a bit (who am I kidding? I miss you guys A LOT!) So we’re back today – much later than usual – with a bang! If you haven’t been able to tell from the DIY cushion obsession we have over here, I am on a personal mission to cover two sofas, my bed… Read More

Halloween Party Pumpkin Pops

I’ve learnt many things during my years of blogging. Way too many to list here. If I even attempted it we’d never actually get to the fruit of this post (or should that be vegetable?), but one of the lessons that I think has really made an impact on my life is how to throw a party! Gone are the days where a shop bought banner and a few strategically placed balloons will do the job. No, we now plan for weeks and make everything beautiful. Yes it’s time consuming, and yes, it doesn’t always work out as planned but… Read More

DIY Painted Clay Wall Hooks

For all of you waiting on the first We Make Collective kits I have big news for you. I’ll be sending them out on Monday next week! I’ve spent the last few weeks perfecting every last detail, working on tutorials and our collaborative area of the site. And of course weaving my way through miles of yarn, so we have plenty of ideas for you to explore the minute your kit lands on the doorstep! As well as learning a lot of new skills and techniques, focussing on one area of creativity has had other fringe (of the tassel kind)… Read More

12 Modern Planters to DIY for!

Every autumn I seem to overcompensate for losing the green outside by bringing all the plants I can get my hands on inside instead. No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to leave the house without coming home with something leafy and a big smile on my face. With a mix of trailing, air, floor and regular plants I do a decent job of transforming the flat into a mini forest. And as well as making the flat look amazing, it means I have plenty of opportunity to try out all of my DIY ideas for a range… Read More
