I'M OPENING MY SHOP!
Hey guys! I am SO excited to reveal to you that tomorrow, Saturday the 24th of August, I will be launching my very own Etsy shop!!!!
I don't know if you know this but I mainly like to make jewellery in my spare time so to begin with, I will be selling pieces of jewellery that I have handmade in the last couple of years. Bear in mind I did make the pieces a couple of years ago, and I hope my skills have improved a little since then. So the more items I had, the closer we will be getting to ones I have made recently.
All pieces will be unique and exclusive, and at hopefully reasonable prices, but I am always open to suggestions, which you can just send me via email.
PLUS, I am going to try and create a DISCOUNT CODE for the opening which will last a week!!!!! Follow my twitter to find what it is! (I'm not sure what it is yet! Teehee)
I can only accept Paypal payments at this time and I can only post within the UK at this moment in time, but special arrangements may be sorted out.
Thanks and I will hopefully see you there! Virtually of course.... XD

Tip Top Tuesday #5
Hello there! I am so
sorry I missed last weeks Tip Top Tuesday so I hope I can make it up
to you today!
Clean food tubs
Tic Tac Box
2. Cut out a square of card, any colour, and clip your hair clips onto it.
This is going to be
multiple tips around one theme: organizing your jewellery and
hair accessories. Now I know how busy everyone is nowadays and we all
just throw things into a draw and then, when we are rushed to leave
the house, panic because we can't find anything or it's all tangled up!
I can be accused of this, so I have taken action! Have no fear! It's
so simple, as my tutorials always are.
What you will need:
Post-it notes
Coloured card
Clean food tubs
Tic Tac Box
1. Organize your
jewellery into tiny post-it note boxes.
I used this tutorial
from Pinterest: Origami Organizers with a little bit of inspiration from another.
It's just the perfect
size for a single necklace or a couple of charms. Plus it looks so
neat and colourful! No more untangling before heading out!
2. Cut out a square of card, any colour, and clip your hair clips onto it.
3. Store bobby
pins/curby grips in a tic tac box.
4. Use empty tubs for
the larger accessories.
And that’s it! Some
very easy ideas that I find useful. If you do, please tell me! I'd
love to hear that I've been of some help.
Gotta go, take care!

How to: Wrap a Cylindrical Present
G'day, Crafty Minions!
I hope you are all alright and I just want to say a quick apology for missing Tip Top Tuesday last week! I thought it seemed a little odd but I thought it was this week! I promise I will do something meaty :) PLUS there is something a little exciting I'm planning, especially for you :D
Wrapping paper
Sellotape
Card
Scissors
and a pencil!
1. Draw around the
bottom of the cylindrical present twice onto the card. Cut them out.
2. Place your gift onto the wrapping paper and roll it over once. This will give you an idea of how much is need to wrap the whole thing. Add an inch or two to overlap plus two inches top and bottom, depending on how big your gift is. Cut it out.
3. Next, fold an inch over on the top and bottom of the wrapping paper and cut little slits into it, like you would if you were lining a circular cake tin.
So for my parents
anniversary, I brought them a few gifts and one of them was this
computer air cleaner thingy for my dad. As you can see, its a weird
shape. How would you wrap this??
Well, I'll show you! :)
This is what you'll
need:
Wrapping paper
Sellotape
Card
Scissors
and a pencil!

| Sorry for the awful lighting and quality! |

| Aw man! They just keep getting worse! Sorry :( |

3. Next, fold an inch over on the top and bottom of the wrapping paper and cut little slits into it, like you would if you were lining a circular cake tin.
4. Wrap up the present
and secure with tape.
5. Fold the tabs
over on the ends, which is now much easier to do with the slits in, and tap
securely.
6. Lastly, make a loop out of
sellotape (a cheats version of double sided sticky tape, which of
course you could use) and stick it onto one of the card circles.
Then stick that onto the top of the gift, to cover up the end. Repeat with the second
card circle and the bottom.
Du-du-loo Ta-daaa!! You're done! One neatly wrapped cylindrical pressie!
There you go! That was really easy, wasn't it? :)
Let me know if you have wrapped a present using this tutorial. I'd really like to hear if it's useful.
Don't forget, now you can follow me on Bloglovin' to make sure you don't miss a thing! There's some exciting stuff coming :)
