HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! I feel a little bit shell shocked that we’re in 2020 already. If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know that I don’t make any resolutions or goals in January. I’m still recovering mentally from the Christmas build up, so instead I use January as a wind down. I like to reflect and regroup and take my time to set goals. It’s easy to get swept up with the ‘New Year, new me’ frenzy but there’s actually no rush. You can set goals whenever you’re ready. Start them on any given Monday, or Wednesday. Or… Read More
DIY Recycled Paper Bunting
Guys, I’m nothing if not a last minute productivity machine. I love nothing more than a deadline to get me powering through the to do list. The build up to Christmas is no different. It’s been non stop and I’m still going! Don’t get me wrong. As soon as I wake up on the 26th I will give myself a much needed rest. But I enjoy the busyness of the festive period. I’ve embraced the fact that I’m never going to be the person that’s ready and waiting in November. In fact I actually like last minute wrapping. I still… Read More
3 Easy DIY Beauty Gifts to Make with Oats
This post is sponsored by Brother. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Fall For DIY. Ok, before we get to the reason your all here I have a small tangent to veer off into for just a moment. Bare with me while I take this detour but… How have I lived my life up until this moment without owning a label maker!? I’m not even joking – about not owning a label maker and how on earth I’ve resisted the urge until now. I’ve always wanted one, but it seemed like one of those things you buy, use… Read More
9 Low Waste Ways to Recycle & Reuse this Christmas
Unless you’re new around here I’m about to sound like a broken record but I love Christmas! Let’s just remind ourselves of that before we get into this post. But I do have to admit it can be an incredibly wasteful time of year. It’s like taking the red or the blue pill. Once you see it, there’s no going back. So I’ve been reining (no pun intended) myself in for the past few years and I’ve built up quite a range of ideas for low waste gifts. Isn’t every gift better when it comes in a drawstring bag? Make… Read More
DIY Arched Faux Fireplace
This project was developed in association with Bosch DIY and Garden. For more inspiration from Bosch, you can visit All About DIY for quick and easy step by step projects. Everywhere you look online at the moment someone is building a fireplace. To which I am massively grateful. This project has been on my to do list since we moved in. I felt like we needed a focal point to split up the dining and living spaces and so, why not make a fake fireplace? Only at this time I didn’t know how to do it and Alex was well,… Read More
DIY Recycled Paper Star Decorations
In the past few years I’ve really noticed how much packaging comes with Christmas. Yes, gifts often come with excess decorative packaging. Plastic to hold things in place and never ending instruction manuals no one actually ever reads. But besides that. Food comes with more packaging. Buying gifts online comes with more packaging. My recycling bin is overflowing and we’re weeks off the big day yet! With this in mind I’m always trying to find ways to use up the excess. Having a child is actually a fun way to find creative uses for packaging (although they might be the… Read More
DIY Recycled Wax Tree Candles
YES!! Hello December! The best time of the year for crafting in my humble opinion. But also a great time to think about reusing and recycling as we begin to start decorating our homes. We all know Christmas can be a very wasteful time of year. I am certainly guilty myself of just buying stuff because I felt like I needed to for maximum festive enjoyment. But I’m trying to make small changes to my habits and (mostly) avoid the festive guilt hangover once there are no presents left under the tree. I have to admit I’ve been saving the… Read More
DIY Lacing Toy
This post has been sponsored by Creative Rox. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Fall For DIY! I love Christmas, but it is a time of year which creates a lot of unnecessary waste. I’ve decided to make our Christmas this year more sustainable, especially when it comes to buying gifts. Ollen is too young to be into the latest “must have” toy, so before we have to worry about all that nonsense we’re buying second hand toys and making our own for him. I’ll be honest. Our made presents are more likely to be stocking fillers than… Read More
