DIY Home Décor

We recently redecorated our living room and thought it would be nice to do a little gallery wall with a few nice family pictures. Of course I went straight to Pinterest to gather inspiration for the layout! 😀 Whilst scrolling through I saw a few gallery walls that had used other small objects and things, rather than just photos, which I thought looked really nice. After searching in a few shops and not finding much that went with our theme, I decided to have a go at making something myself. I love how they turned out and they were so easy to make. They finish off the gallery wall perfectly 🙂

DIY Merry Christmas Bunting

In my house on birthday celebrations we always hang colourful bunting somewhere and it always looks nice and adds a special touch, so this year I thought we should do the same but for Christmas. I decided it would be fun to make my own and choose the colours, fabric and length that I want. I’m really pleased with how it turned out and I think it makes a nice addition to our Christmas decorations 🙂

Beach Memories ♥

If you know me you will know that I absolutely love beaches! My favourite have got to be the Caribbean beaches with the white sand and warm bright blue sea. Unfortunately where I live the beaches are not like that 😦 but I’m still happy spending the day on a cold, windy English beach with freezing cold sea! I’ve spent many birthdays huddled on the beach in August eating a picnic in the rain… but I love it 🙂 This past year I’ve been collecting a little bit of sand and some shells from my trips to different beaches with the idea that I would make something. I decided on this picture frame idea where I could hang the sand and shells along with pictures from that day. I’ve made a frame like this before as a wedding gift for my friend. I hung pictures and messages from all her friends. I loved how that turned out so I thought it would be perfect to display some of my favourite memories.

DIY Earring Holder

Hello I’m back again with another jewellery organising craft. In my last craft post I made a DIY jewellery box which is great for all my rings and stud earrings, so I just needed to figure out what I was going to do with all my necklaces and dangly earrings. After having another look on Pinerest for some ideas I decided I wanted to make a frame to hang my earrings on with hooks attached to the bottom for my necklaces. My original idea was to get little hooks I could screw into the bottom of the frame but I couldn’t find ones that I wanted, then I came across this little set of four hooks which I thought was perfect to put just underneath the frame. I also got two separate little hooks so I could hang them higher up beside the frame for my longer necklaces. I love how this project turned out 🙂 My little jewellery area looks so much nicer and everything is organised so I can actually see what I’ve got now! Hopefully I shall start wearing more of my jewellery now I can see it all.
