Crystal of Little Bit Funky posted this fabulous “quilt” tutorial over the weekend, with just a little bit of batting and some squares of fabric you can turn a shop bought comforter into your own personalised, very easy to make, quilt. This is great for an instant gratification project, it can be finished in a [...]

Never has there been a topic that has divided women so much as the fake cami debate. I have heard everything from people raving about them to damning them for being quite so ridiculous. (Of course, if your boss is quite so lecherous, then I’d suggest a quick call to some higher ups before you [...]

I’m sure everyone on the internet is familiar with Knock Off Wood and Ana White’s meteoric rise to fame. But as far as I’m concerned, furniture is just the begining, knock of clothes, knock off food, if it’s there then we can add a handmade twist on it and know that we’re not about to [...]

I love the way the crafting community on the internet takes an idea and just runs with it. One simple tutorial can evolve into so many different imaginings as each crafter gives their twist on an original idea.

This is how I cover my buttons, it takes a little more time that the tool, but if you’re only doing them occasionally it saves you spending money on another crafting gadget. You’ll [...]

I’m not a girly girl, I don’t “squee” very often, but I have to admit I let out a sound probably usually only reserved for images of puppies and ducklings when I saw these awesome garden markers. Take a trip to the opshop and pick up some old cutlery, hammer the hell out of it [...]

This is less tutorial (it’s as simple as drawing on a plate) and more review, but I recently discovered these porcelain pens in Spotlight and I am completely in love. You Will Need One Porcelain pen – they’re made by “Pebeo” and I found them in my local Spotlight in the craft section with the [...]

I love the classic look of silhouette profiles, and they’re a great way to keep track of how your family’s features change over time, cheap and simple to do. You will need Black card Scrapbooking paper Frames – I also picked up some acylic paint to stain them black Sharp scissors or a craft knife [...]
