DIY Givenchy Inspired Magnetic Earrings

So unfortunately this month I spent that £320 I had to blow on designer earrings on, well… rent. Oh, a girl can dream, but she can also do one better, make! I love it when I come across the perfect designer DIY like these Givenchy Small Cone Earrings. Not only are these ace for people without pierced ears but are ridiculously cheap and easy to make. Win, win, win. Materials: Polymer Clay Magnetic Clasps Instructions: 1. Roll two balls of light pink polymer clay just a little bigger than a pea. A big pea lets say. 2. Shape them into… Read More

Fall For… Illuminate

It’s my favourite week of the month when I share with you guys (some of) my favourite DIY tutorials I’ve come across on my daily barrage of internet perusing. Working on a computer all day for a crafts site means I can totally get away with reading all the DIY blogs. It’s very dangerous but it means I can do lots of valuable ‘research’ and share with you the fruits of my (ahem) labour… Copper Wire Earrings by Almost Makes Perfect Copper Lipstick Holders by A Hammer and Heels Faux Rock Crystals by Love Maegan Gold Dipped Picture Frame by Hello… Read More

DIY Faux Arrowhead Necklace

This is the first and probably not be the last time you’ll see arrowheads here on Fall For DIY. They’re a current obsession of mine and I have quite a few ideas for creating jewellery, artwork and home wares inspired by this iconic shape. The thing I think I love about them most is the rough, individual texture and shape. You know exactly what they are when you see one, yet no two are the same. That makes it an excellent DIY project – you can’t go wrong! Materials: Air Dry Clay Gold Leaf Flakes Paint Brush Necklace Chain –… Read More

Make it Easy: Chloé Inspired Chain Rings

Perusing for jewellery inspiration (/pretend shopping when I’m bored at work) I came across this Chloé Carly Gold-Tone Ring that is a great Make it Easy project and so quick you could have them ready for a bit of Friday night fun! You’ll need: 2 x 1 Loop Ring Base 5cm/2″ Thin Link Chain If your chain links are not sealed open one link either end (the same way you would with a jump ring), hook it onto the ring and then close again. If you cannot open your chain links use jump rings to attach the chain to the ring loops. That’s… Read More

DIY Pearl TOMS

When Buzzfeed contacted me about a potential DIY collaboration with TOMS I jumped at the chance. TOMS is a lovely ethical company that donates a pair of shoes to a child in need each and every time a pair is bought. I’ve been an admirer of theirs for some time now and was delighted to get my hands on a pair to customise. Me and 10 other bloggers put our skills to the test to create this amazing range of DIY TOMS on Buzzfeed. Here’s how I did mine: Materials: TOMS 100 Plastic Flat Back Pearls E-6000 Glue Cotton Bud… Read More

DIY Concrete Desk Tidy

Decorating my flat is an ongoing project I think I’ll never be fully satisfied with. Along with changing trends and new ideas I have my office to deal with. This room is my nemesis. As soon as I think I get it right it becomes cluttered and messy again. It doesn’t help that I hoard any materials that might come in useful one day (just in case) and I have absolutely no system of keeping them. That’s why I’m dedicating myself to more office/craft room organisation tutorials starting with this cute little desk tidy. Small steps right? Materials: Concrete. I’ve… Read More

Fall For… DIY Marble

My love for marble is going nowhere. I’ve already shared a few marbling DIY’s with you here on the blog (see my Marbled Gem Stone post above) and the more I see others experimenting with the pattern, the more I want that swirly little bad boy in my life. I’ve got some idea I want to make a start on this weekend and can hopefully share with you guys soon, but until then I’m going to share my favourite Marble DIY from some awesome bloggers below. Make sure you go and check them out!

Do you guys read Brit + Co? I’ve been a long time reader of the site and in the past year I’ve watched the website grow and become a fantastic resource (and work distraction), so I’m actually over the moon to announce I am now a freelance DIY-er for Brit + Co.
