Loving…glitter pegs {Cotton Candi colab part 2}

November 25, 2014

This project is incredibly quick and easy, and just in time for Christmas.  I like to use these pegs to seal gift bags (away from prying eyes underneath the Christmas tree), or team them with some baker’s twine to display your Christmas cards.  When you’re done with them, add a strip of magnetic tape to…

Loving…bling fridge magnets {30 Days of Creativity}

May 29, 2014

I’m pretty sure that we all had these alphabet fridge magnets growing up – I used to love playing with them as a kid.  It made me feel pretty nostalgic when I first saw this tutorial by Inspired by Charm. Images via Inspired by Charm. I picked up my own set of magnets from China…

Loving…canvas art {30 Days of Creativity}

May 27, 2014

Today’s tutorial is super simple!  All you need is a pencil, template, craft knife, and artist’s canvas from your local art and craft shop.  I love the minimalist feel of this cut-out canvas art, and you can easily place some coloured or patterned paper behind the canvas to update the look. You can find the…

Loving…glittery magnets {30 Days of Creativity}

May 21, 2014

It’s a pretty gloomy day in Cape Town today, so I thought I’d share a craft that’s full of colour and sparkle! Even though I consider myself to be a bit of a craft addict, I actually don’t own any glitter.  Weird, right?  My main problem with glitter is that it just Gets Everywhere.  And…

Loving…cross stitch “LOVE” cushion

September 27, 2012

I used to enjoy doing cross stitch projects when I was at school, since they were quite quick and easy to do.  However the repertoire of inspiration for projects was somewhat limited.  Since the revival of hand crafts over the last few years, I’ve spotted some “cooler” cross stitch projects.  I fell in love with these…

Loving…making necklaces

September 10, 2012

I’ve been inspired by the pretty pastel colours coming into the stores for Spring, so I decided to make some colour necklaces.  The beads are painted wooden beads, and the chain is adjustable so it can be worn long or short.  I quite like the way they came out, what do you think? If you…
