I love making the “paper bauble” variety and seeing what themes I can adapt them too. Of course just using colourful paper makes these…

Now we do love a recycled craft… I know most people buy their craft sticks.. but we love to upcycle the kids lolly sticks/ popscicle sticks and make a lovely lolly stick craft out of them. The kids get to eat their ice lollies, I pop their lolly sticks in the dishwasher.. and hey presto,…

We have a little family tradition (started by my Mother in Law) that we bring back a little Christmas decoration from any holiday or country we go on/ to. This year we had our summer holiday in Corfu, but TOTALLY forgot to buy anything that could double up as a Christmas ornament. Instead, we spent…

Scandinavian Inspired Felt DIY Woven Heart I love all things Scandinavian and some of the crafts are amazing. Whilst flicking through home décor or crafting magazines and searching around on Pinterest the influence is there. One of the things I have always loved about it is the use of soft materials and the natural materials…
Welcome back to another 31 Days of Love guest post. Today we have a gorgeous DIY Heart Ornament made from Wood Slices/ Wood Chips. This is super sweet DIY Heart Ornament, that also doubles up fabulously as a DIY Heart photoframe. It is a perfect Valentine’s Day Gift, but would also be great as a…
Now, these GORGEOUS little Tissue Paper Puppets were made by a friend of mine in Austria! She made them especially for 3 Kings Day, so they make a wonderful Christmas Craft, but I thought they would also be great all year round – as you can make any characters you like – from Princesses to…
Today we have a little craft brought you by Pip Squeak! We have been eating a fair few ice lollies.. and the environmentally “friendly” so and so that I am, have been washing them and keeping them for the kids to craft with (yes, we have a stash of craft stick from the shops.. but…
So, this post today is a joint effort by one of my readers (Katie H), our sister site Fun Crafts Kids and my Youtube channel….. and combined we made these wonderful little Craft Stick Stars – don’t they look adorable? I love Katie’s photos of them displayed on her window and how these little tissue…
Today we will show you how to make a catapult using popsicle sticks aka craft sticks and LOOM BANDS (yes, loom bands.. you may be left with tons of them after the recent loom band crave… here is one use for a handful of them!). We used multi coloured craft sticks for this – but of…
Due to popular demand.. this is a translation of the wonderful Wooz.dk instructions. We have had a go and they are great. It is VERY important that you follow the instructions, else your Perler Beads/ Hama Beads will stick to your cookie cutter and ruin it! I do love some DIY Christmas Ornaments! These ornaments…
Soooo we were making “snowmen” ornaments the other day (check out our Rainbow Snowmen Ornaments here and lots more DIY Ornaments to browse too)… and had JUST finished them all off… when I suddenly thought.. hey… I want to build a snooooowoman…..! In which case we NEED and Olaf Snowman Ornament too.. and hey presto, 10…
My kids are NUTS about Hama Bead DIYs (also known as Melty Beads or Perler Beads) and they can sit there for hours “beading away”. Yes, good for me, as I get some peace and quiet for more blog writing (hehehe). The downside of course is that we have LOTS of Hama Bead creations everywhere. So…..
So.. I had dinner to cook for the kids and I had a handful of craft sticks. So I gave these to the kids, a bunch of pens and some googly eyes, whilst I sorted their dinner. And we got.. these adorable Craft Sticks Bookmarks. They would be a FABULOUS little gift for Father’s Day…
Well hallo there! I’m Amy, from Mod Podge Rocks. If you’ve never heard of Mod Podge, it’s the world’s best decoupage medium (in my humble opinion). I love the stuff, so I started a blog about it. It’s one of the easiest craft products you’ll ever use, so come visit me any time to learn…
So! Today I have a quirky little craft that can go “two ways”: either you make our cute little Santa Craft and hang it up on your tree as an ornament. We do love a DIY Christmas Ornament or two! Or you make at least 6 of these and create your very own little Santa…
You may know that we have a soft spot for “Stick Men”. We have made quite a few in our crafty times.. and they are a firm favourite after a walk in the park. We love Christmas Ornament DIYs!! And we also adore Stick Crafts for Kids. Bring the too together and we have today’s craft…
