As you may know, as well as running this blog, I am also a freelance blogger and journalist. Other than beauty and fashion, the area I specialise in is craft and DIY tutorials. I make so many beautiful things and take so many stunning photos for other sites and magazines, and I get sad sometimes that they weren’t seen by my own blog’s audience. So, I’ve decided to round up my favourite tutorials over the past few months, so that you can click through and have a look. Happy making!

DIY Pompom Initial Tote Bag | Yahoo! Style

I took a blank tote, some pompoms and some glue to make this cute and colourful bag.

DIY Summer Surf Patch Jeans | Yahoo! Style

Patches are so in right now and shops are selling patch jeans, t-shirts and handbags for high prices. I took some surf and beach themed patches and a pair of budget jeans, and I created my own.

DIY Gold & Pompom Shoe Rack | Wayfair

It’s amazing what you can create with a value wooden shoe rack, some gold spray paint and DIY strings of pompoms.

DIY Ice-Cream Pompom Rug | Craft Ideas

This project took months and the creation of over 60 woollen pompoms. It was a real labour of love and my tutorial filled a double-page spread in this US print craft magazine.

I took some brightly patterned fabric, some felt and a coverless-cushion to create this eye-catching. statement home accessory.
