Geometric Door Designs

Recently, I have used Washi tape to create these amazing geometric designs to update my cupboard doors. In fact, updating the furniture has been on my mind for many months but I had put it off. I finally mustered the courage to work on it and I’m really happy with the result. It is so affordable and the results are amazing.

9 Ways to Upcycle your Socks

In every household, there is bound to be a sock monster hiding behind the washing machine or dryer waiting patiently to steal one of the sock twins! We have all been in this kind of situation before where its twin is nowhere to be found in the load. It can be so annoying especially if it is a brand new pair of expensive socks. No need to worry though as there are many other uses for them. Socks can act as cleaning dusters, dog toys and so much more.

Star Wars Book Review

In time to celebrate the World Book Day on 3rd March 2016, Egmont is challenging us to create a Star Wars themed costume and also sent us this range of Star Wars books for review.

As some of you might know, we are big fans of Star Wars. We have watched all the seven episodes and can’t wait for the next! After a good think, we decided to make a BB8 costume. I had a quick rummage around our recycle bin and dug out a big brown box.

Upcycled Wooden Crate Stool with Lights

We always love a challenge especially for crafts, DIY or transforming anything to something useful for the family. This time around, we are taking on the Energizer Re-imagination Challenge. We were sent a wooden craft box filled with random items like a tie, a ball of string, colouring pencils, clock, paper plates, craft equipment, a mop head and many more. After showing it to Mr K, he decided to make a stool out of the box itself.

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.

How to Personalised Upcycled Wine Glass

Recently, I was sent Scotch Magic tape to do an Easter Egg challenge but it seem there are many bloggers doing the same challenge. I decided to make something different so I asked my close friends for ideas and Pippa suggested to paint on glass instead of an egg. This sounded like a nice challenge so I used my one of the odd wine glasses and the Baker Ross liquid wax pens.
