12 Shades of Christmas Day Four | DIY Beaded Gift Toppers
Nothing says stylish Scandinavian Christmas quite like a wooden bead. They just look stylish used anywhere in the home, especially next to any Christmas evergreen. There’s something about the natural qualities of the wood that make them a treat for the eyes. Luckily they are also one of the easier craft items to work with. Wooden beads usually have large holes no matter the size of the bead which means we don’t have to fuss around with a needle and thread. All you need to do it grab a … [Read more...]
DIY Paper Flower Gift Topper
Right, Halloween is over and that means one thing... Christmas preparation can begin! Let's talk about my favourite topic, gifts! To me the perfect gift is really indulgent. It’s a luxury that I would never consider buying just for myself. Too often I ask for an essential item. Something I need but haven't got for myself yet. Not the most exciting present right? The best kind of gift is special and unexpected. While I’m still waiting for that designer handbag and holiday to Hawaii (a girl can … [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 … [Read more...]
DIY Parcel Paper Stocking Gift Wrap
I always plan on making more gifts than I actually do. Even with the best intentions time seems to speed up in December and I never get around to ticking everything off the list (which gets longer every year of course!) But I do like to get creative with wrapping my presents, whether I've made them or not. In the past I've mostly used gift toppers to make my presents more interesting, but this year I've upped my game and made this DIY parcel paper stocking gift wrap. You guys know how … [Read more...]
12 Shades of Christmas Day Two | DIY Marble Gift Labels
One of my favourite ways to be creative during the festive season is through gift giving. If you are one of those super organised people who start preparing for Christmas in June, then you may already have been busy making gifts for those lucky loved ones.

10 Stunning DIY Gifts for the best Mothers Day
I feel a bit silly admitting this but it was only a couple of years ago I realised that Mother's Day was celebrated at different times all around the world. Until then I had just presumed that it was an internationally celebrated day and that we of course all give thanks to our lovely mums all on one big, gooey, special day. So you can imagine my surprise/ mild panic when two months after the day here in the UK, the rest of the world is suddenly blogging and getting ready for it all over … [Read more...]
