I’ve often admired lanterns like these and even saved up a load of tin cans this summer to give making them a go, but life kind of got in the way what with my roller coaster year of upheaval and the cans ended up in the recycling bin and the idea stashed away for a rainy day. Well today is that rainy day and I’m determined to give these a go at long last.

Jessica over at How About Orange is a total genius. I was flicking through my favourite blogs last week and stumbled across her latest tutorial and just had to share it with you here on my blog. It’s brilliant. It’s so simple too – once you know how and thanks to Jessica spending ages figuring it all out, you don’t have to – just follow the instructions and away you go…

I’m preparing for a couple of craft fairs (details coming soon) at the moment and decided to have a go at making some Festive decorations by recycling some drinks cans I’ve been collecting. I found this tutorial the other day and thought I could adapt it to me own needs. So here goes…

This is a really sweet tutorial from Sara over at Craft Snob and I might try it out as I got my hands on a few bargains at ASDA recently. They were selling off old stock for less than 50p and I managed to get some of these bendy hairclips – I don’t know the proper name for them. I’ve never used them to make accessories with so this might get me started.

I recently discovered this great tutorial by Amanda Wood on how to make lovely stickers from recycled paper. The best thing about it is that the tutorial uses one of my favourite things – envelopes with funky security patterns. How could I resist!

A while ago I posted a few images of a really lovely up-do and I can’t wait for my hair to grow longer so that I can try it out. Today I found this fab tutorial which is making me yearn for longer locks pronto!

This is a lovely button themed tutorial by Jen Jockisch over at the American Crafts Studio blog. Choose any letter from the alphabet, or maybe you want to do a number instead, and then select your colour pallet and pick out your buttons, choose a font etc and away you go….

I was asked recently to document a couple of tutorials for Making Magazine – for their July Issue (No.9) – origami bookmarks and pocket notebooks. I’ve just received my copy of the magazine in the post. Unfortunately they couldn’t squeeze in the images for the pocket notebook tutorial as this had to go onto a single page in the end, so they’ve just included the text. This might be a bit confusing for people, so I thought I’d post the images here so that you would be able to see an image of each step.

This is a lovely tutorial, found over at Everyday Mom Ideas that shows you how to make a really pretty Tree centerpiece from scrap paper. It’s a perfect project for this time of year with all the flowers, shrubs and trees coming to life and sending out new shoots and new leaves.

I found this fab tutorial on the Lauren Elise Crafted blog on how to decorate plain jars with painted silhouettes. You don’t need very much equipment and stuff – just lots of imagination, a steady hand and a bit of patience. It’s a great way to recycle old jars and use them to decorate your home or give out as gifts – you could fill a jar up with sweeties for instance. If you’re getting married, they’re a great thing to use to decorate your tables or venue with personalised images and messages.
