Fall For… Office Aspirations

And the office search continues. We’re getting to the point where I really need to make a decision on the space I chose. Mostly because today is the last day we will be selling our first We Make Collective kits, which means tomorrow I will be ordering a ton of supplies that will in all likelihood take over our flat for the next two weeks. Hopefully before we do this again I will finally have settled on the perfect new home for Fall For DIY/We Make Collective. The good news is that in all this searching I’m gathering a lot… Read More

DIY Plaited Planter

Hello! Happy Wednesday. Today I’m sharing this DIY plaited planter tutorial with you all. Funny story. Whenever I plait anything Alex is always transfixed on the process. It’s like as a girl I was born with this magical power to plait… I try to tell him how easy it is to learn, but he really has none of it! I’m tempted to get a few friendship bracelets on the go. Now that will REALLY blow his mind! As will this planter (hopefully!) I love how the plait resembles detailed woven clay but is much more simple to make than it… Read More

12 Easy DIY Necklace Tutorials you can Make in Half an Hour

Fair warning – I’m about to drop the c-bomb… There are just 14 weeks left until Christmas! (Yes, that one) And I am determined to be more organised this year. I think we could probably go back 12ish months and find a post beginning in almost exactly the same way but this year I really, REALLY mean it! You might be thinking 14 weeks does not sound dangerously imminent but these next few months are like a runaway train. You think you’re safe then all of a sudden the breaks won’t work and Christmas has come and gone in the… Read More

DIY Easy Beaded Necklaces

I am one of those people who finds wearing colour difficult. I spend so much time eyeing up colourful jumpers and dresses only to realise the poor thing would spend more time in the back of my wardrobe in favour of that black cozy jumper that I’ve been wearing three days straight already. But the less I buy anything out of my comfort zone, the less likely I am to wear anything out of my comfort zone. So instead we get stuck in a spiral of ‘blend into the background’ colours. And although these are so easy to throw on… Read More

We Make Collective | Meet the Makers part two 

Before I get into introducing the second half of our group of wonderfully creative collaborators I just have to take a moment to gush. When I first launched the Kickstarter to raise the initial funds we needed to start We Make Collective I was so terrified that we would fail. Even though I knew that We Make Collective had the opportunity to be something quite special it was too hard to shake the feeling that no one would actually like this idea I’d been working on for the best part of the past six months. Of course these worries are… Read More

DIY Cool Bag

  I’m still a little in disbelief. It’s not really September right? Just a trick. We’ve still get some summer left… please? Although the seasons might be starting to change I’m holding onto the last of the summer and making the most of any good weather we get! But that isn’t actually the reason why I’ve made this cool bag. If you read Sunday’s post you’ll know that when me and Alex travel we like to/are sometimes forced to prepare food while we’re away. I find supermarkets and market stalls in different countries endlessly fascinating (Oh wow… did I just say… Read More

DIY Abstract Artwork – Furniture Hacks

I met Hester at Blogtacular this year, but before we had the chance to meet in person I was an avid follower of her Youtube channel Handmade Home. I love any woman who’s not afraid to pick up a power tool and Hester definitely knows her way around a drill driver! So I just knew that her new book Furniture Hacks would be full of really interesting ways to create and update beautiful pieces of furniture for your home. I’ve got to say there are so many projects in this book I want to sink my teeth into. I like that… Read More
