DIYing

Do It Yourselfing is a big favourite of mine!  

Here are a couple of DIY projects I have come across - I will update more as soon as I see them!

Personalised Stones - Great way of decorating the garden or home with your own meaningful stones/rocks.  Just use craft cement and cheap baking tins to get the shape you want!

Magnetic Makeup Frame - When I get my his and hers bathroom this will definitely be going up! Magnetic makeup board, great idea instead of ruffling through your makeup back to get the eyeliner right at the bottom! Also keeps your brushes clean and in shape. You could use what ever frame and colour pallete you liked, stick a magnet to your make up and the board, voila! 

Ruffled cake stand - This could be used for anything, kitchen teas, baby showers, lolly buffets or just birthday cakes.   Get a round empty box, tip it upside down and cover with ruffled crepe paper or tissue paper. Tie a ribbon around the middle for security and you have your very own cake stand.

String balls - This one I am really excited to try! Blow however many balloons to whatever sizes desired, grab some craft glue and string. Start wrapping the string around the balloon covering the string in glue. Wrap as thick or thin as desired and let dry for 24hours. Once the string has set in place, pop the balloon and pull out. Your very own string balls for hanging or placing in a vase for a table decoration.

String Christmas Tree - Again this DIY I am ultra excited to do. With christmas only around the corner, this cheap and fun DIY will liven up any mantle piece or table setting. Grab a cone shape and complete the steps as the string balls. Ensure that the bottom of the cone is stable so when you take the holder out, they stand straight. Decorate however you feel!

Rope Covered Lanterns - These little lanterns are totally cute and so easy to make. Grab yourself a jar and wrap with rope, securing with some craft glue. Go as high or low as you are wanting. You can wrap anything with this gorgeous technique, vases, lanterns, and candle holders. Happy twining!
