The gorgeous blog Delia Creates has put together a brilliant tutorial on how to create a Felt Flower Crown.

Hello, it’s DIY Guess Who. I kid you not!
The site shows you exactly what you need to make your very own version. Make sure you add Uncle Frankie, the crazy drunk and cousin Susie who smells funky.
You are so welcome Nesters.
I, myself am capable of brilliant DIY. Like for example yesterday, I made my toddler-bird a jam sandwich. Yep all by myself.
To some people though, they like making actual pretty stuff (sorry jam sandwich).
Here is one such example.
The gorgeous Burkatron DIY Rope Shelf is perfect! It is pretty and useful and easy enough to do on a lazy Saturday arvo.

I LOVE jewellery, but storing it can be a real pain in the neck(lace).
This fantastic idea from Emily Henderson allows you to channel your inner DIY goddess (I know she is lurking in there somewhere..) and create something pretty, practical and precious.
These gorgeous jewellery blocks are a fabulous way to store all your pretties in one location, on display and easily to access.
You will only need a few bits and pieces and you will be on your way. 
Happy crafting Nesters!
There are two types of present-giver people in the world (according to my completely fabricated and unsupported scientific survey).
The first being, the smack-a-tenner-in-an-envelope-and-write-their-name-in-lipstick-because-you-can’t-find-a-pen-in-the-bottom-of-your-handbag type of person and secondly the Martha-Stewart-planned-for-months-and-wrapped-beautifully-even-know-where-the-reciept-is-in-case-they-need-to-exchange type of giver.
While embarrassingly I more often fall towards the first option I strive for more Martha Stewart type moments.
Here is a simple(ish) way to make your own wrapping paper. Cute right!?

I have a confession to make. I am an absolute sucker for Peter Pan collars.
I’m not so sure exactly why I love them so but I really, really do.
Plus – you know.. all the cool kids are doing it (check out DKNY (right), Giambattista Valli (centre), and Louis Vuitton)
So because most of us do not have the coin (or enough combined creditcards that the husband won’t find out about) to purchase Louis Vuitton’s latest pieces here is a great DIY made by the fabulous team at HonestlyWTF.
Happy creating my little stylish Nesters x
I love the idea of DIY but I am one of the least creative, ridiculously uncoordinated people who have ever stomped across the planet.
