In the workshop, we were taught two different crafts which were to make your own bespoke fabric notebook cover and a 3D bird. All the six different lovely fabrics were provided by Hillarys Blinds which are their latest design.

10 Snowflake Party Ideas
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #CampaignHashtag #CollectiveBias
Earlier this year, I changed my blog direction to food and craft posts. They had been dormant passions of mine and it wasn’t until the regularity of the kids going to school that enabled me to spend more time on these.
The forecast said that we might be getting snow this winter but I am still waiting for that to happen! If it doesn’t happen, why not check out this post on how to create a snowflake party this winter!
I am going to share how I used a wrap and pancake to make snowflake and paper crafts in this post. Also not forgetting some of my lovely blogging friends who shared their snowflake party ideas with me.
Disney Princess Wall Mural from 1Wall
Ms C is a massive fan of Disney Princesses and owns a huge range of princess costumes and Disney figurines. Having seven Disney Princesses on her wall and being able to sleep next to them would definitely make for one very happy little princess!
Nuffnang partnering with British homeware brand 1Wall offered us an exclusive product review. The founders of 1Wall was bored with plain traditional wallpaper and they decided to set about creating original and elegant wallpaper murals to help you style any room of your home. They are based in Blackpool. The company has had amazing growth and now holds numerous product licences, including those for Where’s Wally, Moto GP, One Direction, DreamWorks and Manchester United. Thanks to them for this fantastic chance to review it.
Tuesday Tutorials Week 39 Costume
A huge welcome to Week 39 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! This week I am featuring DIY costumes! I find it hard to make children’s costumes/fancy dresses as they take up so much time and effort especially with my limited know-how. Luckily, we have bloggers who show us, in fact, it is quite easy.
Hardwall Takker Review
Since becoming a SAHM, my passion for DIY has been getting stronger! Each time, I tell myself, yes, I can do it. From wallpapering, fixing cupboards to making my own magnetic chalkboard, I have accumulated a numbers of tools! One of the essential bit of kit is a drill, drill bits and wall plugs for putting things up.
Hanging picture is one of the easiest jobs yet it can still go very wrong! For example, there’s a couple of pictures in our home that I have to push straight every now and again! Hopefully it doesn’t drop!
Tuesday Tutorials Week 30 DIY
Welcome to Week 30 of the Tuesday Tutorials Pintorials Pin Party! We are at the end of August now and next week both children are back to school. I can’t wait for them to go back so I can properly relax!
DIY Magnetic Chalkboard
Last year, I was sent an oak mirror but unfortunately the mirror part was broken, so I had saved the frame for any future use. Last week, BOSCH had sent me the IXO screwdriver to do a creative post. I decided to turn the oak mirror frame into a children’s DIY magnetic chalkboard.
Dulux Avengers Assemble Mural Review
Recently, Dulux have teamed up with Walltastic to bring you the Bedroom-in-a-box. There are 5 different themes available: Fairy Princess, Avengers Assemble, Jungle Adventure, Peppa Pig and Sea Adventure.
DIY Coca-Cola Fairy Light Bottles
DIY Coca-cola Fairy Light Bottles! Recently, I had a mini task from #cbias to do a World Cup #BigMatchPlanner #Shop with Coca-Cola. This has inspired me to make some World Cup crafts with my children. We recently made football paper plate crafts, England straw flag and England flag topper. I bought the pack of Coca-Cola Zero along with mini Coca-Cola bottles. So now I am upcycling the bottles into a fairy light bottles.
myStyle Super Loop Bands Review
Need an easy and quick DIY craft with older children? You will definitely love this myStyle Super Loop Bands! They are not only for girls! My son who is six years old, which is slightly younger than the recommended age 8 – 12, was able to create his own loop bands with minimal help! My son loves them and so does my 4 year old daughter!
How to make an Easter Bonnet Hat using Paper Plate
Last Friday, I received a letter from school that there will be an Easter Bonnet competition. My son loves to get involved in each of the school activities and so we decided to make one. I have to be honest that I always love to recycle their crafts as much as possible. I did a bonnet hat for Ms C and won a prize before but I couldn’t find it. So we had to start again.
Duck Tape Colours Review
Have you ever thought of using Duck Tape to create a bracelet, a belt or maybe a handbag? It does sound crazy but there is so much you can do with Duck Tape besides using it to temporarily fix things around the house or garden! Take a look at their website for more inspiration and fun ideas! Duck Tape is made from a durable polyethylene film combined with cotton, with a high tack natural rubber adhesive. It is tough and strong but it is also easy to tear. Each colour roll is 48 mm wide and 9.1 metres long. The initial UK Duck Tape colours range comprises 15 solid colours and designs. We have received a pink piggy bank, zig zag pink, green clover, white snowflake, red fire engine and penguin invasion. The colours are bright and very attractive. Personally, I love the penguin invasion. The design is so cute that I want to use it to tape around my door frame!
What can we create using Duck Tape? These are a few things we have created using the duck tape:
A small carry bag
Appliances Direct Dehumidifiers
Have you ever thought what the purpose of a dehumidifier is, when will you need it and how to choose one? A dehumidifier is a machine that removes moisture from the interior air of a room and maintains the room’s humidity levels through a humidistat. Ideal relative humidity levels in British homes is 50 to 55%. Air which is too dry can cause dry skin and create static shocks around the house. Too much moisture can encourage mould and allergen growth leading to risks of health problems and can cause damage to the house.
How to make a Witch Hat
Halloween is approaching and I have been thinking up things to do with my children. Ms C’s teacher has given her a workbook to share what she did over the weekend or things she could do. So I remembered a very simple recipe to make a witch’s hat using an ice cream cone. Ice cream cones are one of Ms C’s favourite snacks. She only likes to eat the cone and not the ice cream. Having said that, last week, she finally tried ice cream and managed to finish one whole ice cream.
