Gifts for anyday of the year No.1 Felt Fourtune Cookie....

Hi Everyone! I know it's after Valentines Day and I said I was going to show you some other little projects related to it, but instead I thought about it and decided that I wanted to show you some little cheap and easy gifts you can make to brighten someone's day, any day of the year!
Firstly, I'm going to show you how to make these Felt Fortune Cookies with customisable messages...

You will need:
Felt
Paper
Scissors
Hot glue gun
bendy wire
pens or pencils
Step 1: Cut out the felt in to circles and cut a rectangle that would fit the diameter of the circle.

Step 2: Next cut some paper strips out and write cute little messages on them
Step 3: Then measure a little bit of wire that fits the diameter of the circle and glue it on with hot glue
Step 4: Glue the rectangle piece of felt on to the piece of wire like so..
Step 5: Place the message inside and fold the circle like this (BEWARE: It can be a little tricky to get the hang of, but you'll get there in the end)
Step 6: You can either just give one for a special someone or make loads and give them to all your best friends...
Have Fun

DIY Heart Valentine Gift

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't post last Friday (slaps wrist) I literally had so much to do. Anyway I wanted to make a little series of quick and easy 'DIY Valentine Gifts'! They are basically ideas that anyone can make and you will get another two projects this week (does that make up for my lack of posts?)

 
So here it is...
You will need:
fabric
scissors
thread
needle
Stuffing Fluff
and a button


Step 1: Cut out two identical hearts or you can cut out a template from online to guide you
Step 2: Then turn the front faces down so the back of the face is looking up to you


Step 3: Next sew around the edge but leave an inch not sewn at the end
Step 4: Turn the heart inside out through the hole you left


Step 5: Stuff the heart and make sure it is nice and firm!
Step 6: Then sew up the hole and adjust the heart to your liking


Step 7: Thread the needle again and attach a button to the middle of the heart
Step 8: Wrap it up and give it either to a friend or your Valentine...

all my love

Unique Advent Calendar

Hello there, I hope your having a super day! So, for the past few years I have become more and more annoyed with the usual cheap chocolate advent calendars (which are great don't get me wrong who doesn't like eating chocolate everyday) but I thought to myself what if you could make one?  My mum and I looked on Pintrest and Tumblr for inspiration. In the end my mum came up with the idea of using an old pin board for the base and used other around the household materials for the rest. However, for the fillings she bought little chocolates and made little decorations to put on the tree. I don't know what else she has in store for the rest of advent, she wanted to keep it a surprise. I'm sure it's going to be great!

Here is what it looks like...




Let me know in the comments what you're getting for Christmas??

Hello everybody, I hope you are all as excited for Christmas as I am....(23 days, it's coming up so quick)!! I am going to take part in Blogmas which is basically just like Vlogmas (if you don't know what Vlogmas is, it is basically where you record what you get up to everyday of December) but without recording my everyday life, I'm just going to write different Christmas themed blog posts including DIYs, favourite product reviews, inspiration posts and many more.

For today's post since as it's the 1st, I wanted to give you guys some inspiration of how to decorate your home this season...
