Blast from the Past - Leaf Bowl

Autumn is now in full swing, so there are lots of pretty leaves to choose from to make this fab DIY Leaf Bowl from Made with Happy

... and a Decorative Plate Makeover

Today we have a great guest post by the lovely Zografia from Bisozozo who is sharing her inventive makeover for a decorative plate!

... and a DIY Scarf Hanger

I hadn't realised until a recent sort out quite how many scarves I had! Some of these have moved their way into my fabric stash and others to the charity shop... but the others still needed somewhere to live so I made a scarf hanger!

... and a Fabric Scrap Bowl

The only problem with saving all your fabric scraps is then finding different ways to use them up!! I've had an idea in my mind for a while on using different scraps to make a bowl.... so it was about time I gave it a go!

Tips, Tools and Techniques - Homemade Glue

Hello! Here's our regular feature where we share tips, tools & techniques that have caught our eye, things we have Pinned, and things we have tried. These are probably not going to change your life(!) but might make it a bit easier...

... and a Decoupage Keepsake Box

After 4 years, Mally is leaving Becci (his amazing childminder) to start school! We thought we would make her a present to show her how much we appreciate everything she has done for us, and to give her something to remember us by... Mally came up with some suggestions of presents, and then we decided to take it a step further and give her a homemade box to keep them all in...

... and a Comic Book Bracelet

We are comic book geeks in our house. Unfortunately at 4 years old, Mally isn't always great at keeping them in pristine condition(!) so we end up with lots of loose pages. Luckily there are lots of things we can do with these - like covering up an old charity shop wooden bracelet! 

... and some Father's Day Photo Frames

Father's day is this weekend and for Dunc and his dad we decided to recreate a project we did last year... This is a really quick and easy frame makeover!

... and a Handmade Flower Press

Now that all the lovely Spring flowers are (finally!) out in bloom, I felt the urge to press them to use in future projects. I had been using a VERY makeshift version of layers of tissue paper and cardboard underneath a heavy book. Although this does the job, it certainly isn't pretty so it was time to make a new one!

... and a Sweet Wrapper Canvas!

Hello all! Its guest post time! Today's post is by our good friend Deb...

So Deb was sitting at home watching a film one night over Christmas. She may or may not have been working her way through a tub of Quality Street chocolates (!). The film had a scene where there was a brightly coloured transparent wall and inspiration hit! Deb decided to make some art out of her sweet wrappers (and needed to use all of the chocolates up to do this!!!) 

... and some Decopatch Animals!

A while ago (before we started with this blogging malarkey!) I spent a lovely afternoon with Mally at the Arty Giraffe. It's a great place to relax and get creative. You can grab a coffee (milkshake for Mally) and try your hand at some ceramic painting or Decopatch - we opted for the latter! We like to get messy!
