DIY Woven Wall Hanging

If you’ve ever delved into the world of knitting or crochet I’m betting you have enough yarn stashed away to clothe a small army (ok, a very small army… of children). My studio is full of bundles of left over scraps and balls bought with the best intentions so I decided to gather up a few and give them a purpose in life using my new (DIY) peg loom. I’d seen a lot of woven wall hangings floating around the Pinosphere (like that?) and wanted to give it a go! 1. Cut and thread metre lengths of a neutral coloured yarn into… Read More

Fall For DIY | Enamelled Rings

I do love a good statement ring. Lately if I wear anything on my fingers it has to be something with a little pizzazz and a lot of presence! When I saw rings made from precious stone I knew I wanted to give it a go and chose this enamel technique to give them a shiny luxurious quality. I’ve also use three different ways to create the gold edging; gold leaf, gold spray paint and gold enamel paint. Pick your poison! Materials: Epoxy Putty Wire Instructions: 1. Mix equal amounts of putty until you have an even consistency. Separate this… Read More
