Last Minute Christmas Crafty Ideas

Hi Everyone! I'm here to help with some last-minute, forgotten DIY present and decoration ideas. In total, after rummaging through Pinterest I found 8 really neat crafty ideas for this winter holiday. So, let's begin...

Firstly, DIY lippy (Lip Balm), I'm in love with the idea of making your own cosmetics, and making them look stunning with personalised labels and would be really nice to give away as a homemade Christmas gift! They're so cute! Might have to make some myself! They're especially great in these winter months when everyone's lips start cracking and really are an essential.

Next, here is another DIY gift idea. Why not take a plain white mug and personalise it using either a marker pen or a sharpie. The great thing about sharpies, is that they come in an array of colours- so get experimenting, then give them as a loving present.

Thirdly, I have found some paper craft ideas. These cards are absolutely adorable and would look stunning on a fireplace next to some Christmas stockings! They are also relatively easy, and could again be personalised. The name tags could be made from bits and bobs lying around the house- yet they still look really beautiful!

I am in love with the next two decorative ideas; a hot chocolate bauble and Christmas tree shelves. To create the bauble, simply fill a clear bauble with coca powder, marshmallows and other deliciousness and replace the top. Hang on your tree and enjoy whenever you wish! The Christmas tree may not be as easy to recreate- however it does give you some inspiration and ideas for decorations.

Finally, no Christmas is complete without a DIY snow globe- maybe place in a tree, snowman or reindeer into an old jar? Another warming gift idea; crochet infinity scarf! They're all in fashion and are great to create yourself!

And there we go! 8 Christmassy DIY ideas! Merry Christmas or as they say in the USA: Happy Holidays! Remember to comment, share and follow this blog on all of my social media, it really is appreciated! Keep the Creative Juices Flowing! :)x

Autumn/Winter DIY Ideas

Hello internet lovelies! I'm here to share some practical, yet useful DIY ideas for Autumn and Winter, as the cold days and dark nights draw in. So I took to Pinterest and found a range of really creative ideas and DIYs. 

Firstly for any Starbucks enthusiast a crochet cup cosy (pictured to the left of the above image) is a must have. Not only is it easy to make through knitting, there are so many ways in which you can make it look more creative and interesting... Why not crochet it into an animal or shape, like the ones below?

Secondly, DIY Hand Warmers. These are great to heat up in a morning and grab just before you run out of the house. They keep your hands warm in the cold mornings and are really simple to create. Simply sew two squares of fabric together and fill with rice, heat up in the microwave for 1 minute and voila!! They also look fantastic customised;

Finally, it's candle time of the year! Light those sweet smelling waxy things and place them in a glass jar. The first image show some decopaged leaves, however there is much more that you can do with them! Maybe dunk half of the jar in coloured paint and leave to dry, or decopage lace on to the outside instead of leaves??

Hope you enjoyed this collection of Autumn/Winter craft ideas, there are loads more ideas and tutorials and ideas on google alone! See you soon! Keep the Creative Juices Flowing! :)
