I am a big fan of essential oils and use them at home all the time, so I thought I would round up some family-friendly essential oil crafts that are safe and fun to make. You can do so much with essential oils; personally, I prefer them to artificial fragrances in candles, cleaning products and homemade bath soaks, etc. It is always important when you shop essential oils that you check out what essential oils are safe to use with children (not under 3’s) before you use them and also what dosage to use. I love that there are so many more ways than just an oil diffuser to use your […]
Great DIY Photo Gifts for Grandparents is a paid collaborative post with Snappy Snaps photo printing. During these last few years being apart from the people that really matter has really helped me focus on the moments that matter. The things that have made a real impact in our lives are often small moments and so much of the joy comes from sharing those moments with people that they will bring joy to aswell.

It seems that hand sanitiser is here for the long term and instead of buying small bottles and being left with lots of plastic wastage, we have moved on to buying a large bottle and decanting it into brown glass jars and small handheld bottles for individuals.
I kept seeing knot headbands or Alice bands everywhere, but they are so expensive and I kept thinking I could make my own. The trend for knot headbands was with us last year and I think that it is here to stay for a while and will look fabulous with chunky knitted jumpers and is perfect for keeping your hair out of your face on windy days.
Our DIY bath oil is made with moisturising rice bran oil which is known for its ability to cleanse, soften, moisturise, soothe, nourish, and smooth the skin. Pour our DIY Foaming Bath Oil into a hot bath and enjoy a fragrant, foaming and skin-softening bath fragranced with essential oils or emulsify by using a scrunchie or sponge in the shower or bath. I made our latest batch with sweet orange essential oil and it is delicious.
I love candles, they bring so much warmth and glowing light especially over our dark winters. However due to my candle addiction I was left with a lot of empty candle jars and rather than keep buying more candles, I decided to have a go at candle making and making my own container jar candles.
I was so impressed with the last coasters I made with my Cricut and infusible ink that I decided to try again using the lessons I learned with the new infusible ink sheets to make these stunning DIY Christmas coasters.
How to make a foldable tractor out of a cardboard box with free printables is a paid collaboration with Halfords #ImaginationStation. One of my best ever gifts was a bike and this is the same for lots of children, but also kids LOVE cardboard boxes.

I love tea, it is my drink of choice so I made some DIY coasters using Cricut infusable ink that are dedicated to my favourite beverage. I am delighted at how these turned out and I learned some valuable lessons that I wanted to share with you.

I LOVE a headband, perfect for keeping my wild hair off my face when I work espeically as I don’t like tying it back all the time. Decorative headbands are all the rage at the moment so I decided to try making a DIY braided headband.

This would be a really great handmade homemade gift.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. These DIY Applique Monstera Leaf Cushions were cut out using my Cricut Maker and its rotary cutter blade. The game changer for me between the Cricket Maker and previous Cricut cutting machines is its ability to cut fabric unstabilised with ease, accuracy and speed.
DIY Painted Terracotta Plant Pots – with Herb Puns is a paid collaboration with Bostik.
