i have a new bathroom unit and i think it's mega cute! i wanted to make a shelf to store bathroom essentials- it turned out so nice i thought i'd share it with you.
I've been meaning to make a floral crown for ages (since last summer in fact) I never quite got around to buying the essentials so it was left on my neglected DIY to do list! the combination of sun and an urge to get away from my laptop finally got the better of me this week so here it is! it's so fun to make and not expensive either, mine came in under £10 and took me roughly an hour or so to finish! I'd love to make one out of fresh flowers but for the time being I opted for silk flowers which are easy to get hold of and last a lot longer! the main things you need are an assortment of flowers (available at craft or home stores- mine were from dunelm) garden wire and some fine jewellery wire. A pair of scissors or pliers to cut is also a must! measure and bend the wire to fit your head (make it a little bigger as the more flowers you add the tighter the fit will become) wrap another length of wire around the crown to make it more secure. now comes the fun part! start twist...
I've been pretty busy this week so not as many snaps as usual! I managed to break my laptop yesterday and suffered a mini breakdown at the prospect of having to buy a replacement! on a positive note I'm going away for my birthday tomorrow yipeee (laptop you'll not defeat my holiday excitement!!) anyway I hope you're having a great weekend; here's a few of this weeks instagram snaps for you guys! illamasqua in stance polish, beautiful violet pink! | mini eggs, mmmmm | seafood & pasta, my favourite combo! | my new shades from new look tea & toastie kinda afternoon | rhinestone collection | dylan, my hairy little chum | giant orange!

Post in collaboration with Gorilla Glue I've wanted to try making my own picture frames for a while, it just seemed logical to make some frames for the posters that I've not had time to frame. I researched making traditional frames but to be honest they're pretty boring and I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel here! I decided to make magnetic frames instead, you can easily open them to switch your prints in and out in seconds which suits me waaaay better. Not only are they great for hanging art, posters or calendars but you can also make your own framed botanical artwork for them. (Since I'm slowly trying to turn my house into a mini rainforest why not display my plant collection on the walls as well as on my shelves?) I've teamed up with Gorilla to show you how to make this framed botanical wall display, read on to see how. You'll need: Pine stripwood (mine was 6mm x 15mm x 2400mm) Gorilla Super Glue Precise Gel Neodymium magnets Hacksaw Gorilla Mounti...
