Sunday B.Links | Breakfast in Bed

There’s nothing more luxurious and indulgent than breakfast in bed. Ok, actually there are plenty more things more luxurious and indulgent but when there’s cleaning to be done, emails to be sent and errands to run, taking a moment to treat yourself to a relaxing Sunday morning breather feels totally blissful! Whilst it’s definitely too late to take full advantage of today’s lazy Sunday morning here, I’m going to be working on some of these tutorials throughout the week so I can be totally prepared for that small pocket of time to relax and ignore life outside the bedroom door….

Make it Easy | Gold Washer Necklace

I’m on a total high from this week. The sun has come out, I’ve been making big strides with We Make Collective and I’ve been lucky enough to part of a lot of blogger loving. For the first time since I began blogging full-time I feel like I can take on the world! I’ve always been quietly confident I could make this work, if only through sheer determination and my scrappy will to try anything and now I’m starting to see there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I’m heading in the right direction. I’m going to… Read More

DIY Balsa Wood Planter

With my growing collection of plants – that are actually staying alive for more than four weeks, even after I brought them into my home – I need a growing collection of planters. Luckily for me making cute pots is one of my favourite projects, so ideas spring to mind no matter what size or shape I need it to be. I’ve got to say out of all the planters I’ve made for the blog, I’m particularly proud of this one. As much as I love a good hack or upcycle my favourite projects are the ones that take a material and… Read More

A huge thank you to everyone who shared with all of us your creative tassel makes! I’ve loved seeing your take on Fall For DIY tutorial and your original tassel projects. They have all been amazing! Fortunately just because the competition is over it does not mean we have to stop loving how much fun a little fringing can bring to a project!

DIY Tassel Tablecloth Video

It is officially the last weekend of #tasselhappy! I’m for real this time. We will not be carrying this hashtag on any longer, no matter how much I love looking at your tassels! It’s over! So get your #tasselhappy posts in before Monday or you’ll miss out on the chance of winning this! But don’t worry. While we’re plotting away for our next hashtag competition you can still share your tassels and everything else creative with us on #wemakecollective and #fallfordiy. I’ve spent the last three weeks making tons of tassels, partly because I wanted to make this DIY tassel… Read More

DIY Solid Gold Letters

I know, I know. I’ve lured you here on false pretences. I hold my hands up – I have not found a way to DIY solid gold letters at home. If I had I’d be in Hawaii by now. Instead I’ve found the next best thing. Fake solid gold letters. After a long obsession with this oh so shiny gold contact paper (since this post) I finally decided on the first project I wanted to use it for. And it got MADE! I actually surprised myself with how easy this project was. I’ve had these letters waiting for a makeover… Read More

DIY Wire Tacos with Laura Ashley

If you’re a regular reader of Fall For DIY then you’re probably aware of our new fluffy friend and the havoc she causes where ever she goes. In most cases chewed cardboard and nibbled coasters are easily forgiven, but damage to an unreplaceable wire cable is a bit harder to let go. As much as we try to keep them out of harms reach there can often be a stray left dangling. And you can be sure she will sniff it out within minutes. So I’ve come up with a very DIY solution to our gnawing problem. These ‘DIY Wire… Read More

DIY Square Hanging Planter

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about clearing the clutter in my flat and creating spaces that are both functional and beautifully display our belongings. Because as much as I would love to just throw everything away and only have pretty things around me, there are definitely moments in life that require more than just a copper ring dish, test tube vase or woven wall hanging. I’ve begun with this IKEA shelving unit in my kitchen/diner. It might seem like an odd place to put a bookshelf but there’s nothing I love more than reading over a slow Sunday brunch…. Read More
