Woven gift-wrap // pastel edition ^_^
By Kate on August 8, 2012 I noticed that the woven gift-topper I made last year was doing the rounds again on Pinterest so I thought I would make an updated pastel version (pastels seem to be the new neon at the moment). I bought some quilling strips (0.5cm) to use this time which reduces the labour by about half (I’ve also been working on some more intricate woven ‘things’ for another project…more to come soon). Anyway check out the previous post if you want full instructions.
DIY Paper Popsicle Memory Game
As a kid I adored the game 'Memory'. The truth is, I still do. Sure, it's not exactly what you would define as 'challenging' but there's something charming about it's simplicity. So, for a bit of cute fun I decided to re-create the game with a slight twist. I've replaced the cards with paper popsicles. Who doesn't love popsicles, right?

Am I about to post something on ACTUAL UCREATE? Is this a dream? No. It can't be. If this was a dream I would be auditioning for American Idol, in my underwear, and not know what song I'm going to sing. So I guess this is FOR REAL!

Hex Nut Bracelet
Kimmy recently sent me a link with the subject line: “DIY meets Home Depot!” Needless to say, I was intrigued. I clicked and was taken to Honestly… WTF. How I had not discovered this fabulous niche of the Internet earlier, I do not know. The specific link that Kimmy had sent to me was for a DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet. It’s inspired by the line of Hex jewelry by Giles & Brother.
Crafts for Men « Keywords: paper, craft, design, gift
This year, I vowed to only make or buy handmade holiday gifts for my friends and family, and I've kept to it so far. But wrapping these gifts in commercial paper didn't seem to make much sense, so I wanted to create some handmade gift wrap to match. I happen to think a gift wrapped in newsprint is actually quite attractive, and love the look of text on a package, but wanted to put in a little more effort.
How to Make ... Washi Tape!
Are you like me and just can't bring yourself to spend a lot of money on things that even though they are really pretty, will probably just sit there for ages without use?

Too easy!
