Easy Oscar night tux-tee!



If you're planning a little couch-side Oscar judging this weekend then how about whipping up an easy tux-tee? IKEA fabric markers are super cheap and we got a t-shirt for a dollar... so unlike the Hollywood stars, you don't need to break the bank to look awesome! 

 

'Rain rain go away unless you're bringing us a rainbow' wall hanging

This week we're doing a project to cheer up our chilly American friends and our soggy English ones. And what could be more cheerful than rainbow craft. We love rainbows!

We've made this craft coaster size, but you could do it any size you want. An MDF table mat would make a really cool wall hanging and maybe you could increase the number of rainbow strands you use?

 

 

Autumn leaf garland

We celebrated the first day of Spring here in Australia yesterday, which means that it's the first day of Autumn on the other side of the world!

If you have lovely piles of fallen leaves where you live, why not sew up a super fast Autumn leaf garland? If you don't have a sewing machine, you can hand sew the leaves together or even glue them to a thin piece of ribbon.
