DIY// Fuchsia Stone Bracelet

Pink has been creeping it way back onto the catwalk and back into our hearts. Fur bags, pink camel coats, baby pink t-shirts and magenta skirts are not for the faint hearted, but if you want to grab a slice of the action and show off your girly side in a more subtle way why not try some pink statement jewellery? Instructions: 1. Poke the eyepin through the semi precious stone bead. Using the round nose pliers turn the pointed end into a loop. 2. Split the chain into two sections. 3. Use the jump rings to attach the chain… Read More

Fall For Favorites

As a DIY blogger I’m partial to a good tutorial and spend an unhealthy amount of time scouring the web for things to make. Here are my favourite from this week.

DIY// Halloween Candy Clutch

So I was recently contacted by Buzzfeed to write a tutorial for their 20 Halloween Bags, Baskets and Bowls feature. The idea was to come up with something fresh/funny/modern which I ran with, and came up with this creepy clutch to keep all your tricks and treats in. You’ll need: ½ metre clear PVC plastic Soap Plastic creepy crawlies/gruesome props Strong waterproof glue Velcro Instructions: 1. Cut out 4 rectangles of clear PVC. 2 with the dimensions 20cm X 35cm and the other 2 larger at 35cm X 35cm. 2. Glue three sides of both rectangles together leaving one of the… Read More

DIY Wrapped Kumihimo Bracelet

I’m always looking for excuses to make Kumihimo braids. The soothing repetition and super fast results are a winning combo, but there are only so many colourways you can make/wear/pull off right? So I wanted to try something a little different with my latest ones. Lets add a little sparkle eh? For an in depth tutorial into using a Kumihimo board and making the braid used in this DIY see this tutorial. Instructions: 1. Tie one end of your embroidery thread around one end of your kumihimo braid and glue that end into a bell closer/cord end. 2. Position a… Read More

DIY Fur Snood

With autumn fast approaching I wanted to make something warm and snug. (Faux!) fur is always a big deal in the winter and updates a jumper and jeans into something a bit more…. classy? This snood is so easy to make! My material cost around £10 for half a metre, which I think is about the going rate, but I have a bit left to play with, and it’s totally worth it!           Instructions: 1. Measure out a 1m x 40cm rectangle of faux fur fabric. 2. Fold in half lengthways with the right sides (fur)… Read More

DIY// Gold and Glass Earrings

A little bit of good news this week, we have our new flat! (hopefully, fingers crossed, touch wood) It’s been stressful enough. We’re only renting, but with our work schedules and other commitments we just seemed to be one step behind everyone else at all times. With the new flat comes the new office. This is where is gets good. I get to have a space dedicated to the blog. Everything in one place with space and light. Almost makes things too easy…. Anyway, here’s the latest DIY I’ve been working on. It’s another polymer clay based tutorial (I did… Read More

DIY Zip Jumper

Here is the first of my holiday DIY posts. I’m a big fan of ‘the jumper’ and I’ve had this one for quite some time now. The only problem with it is the bottom which is a bit too snug, rides up and gives me a look I remember from the shell suits of my childhood. Not very flattering… So to combat this problem I’ve come up with zips. Yes not the most original idea, but if it ain’t broke and all that. I love the result and have already worn this jumper more in the past week than I… Read More
