{The Nest DIY} Guess who you can do!

Shut. The. Back. Door.

This is awesome and you have no excuse not to bust out the DIY this weekend and make this bad boy!diy-guess-who-board-game-almost-makes-perfect1

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.

{DIY Nesting} Could there be a prettier way to display your pretties?

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. jewellery blocks

Happy crafting Nesters!

 

{Do This} Wrap some watermelon around it..

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!?watermelonpaper7

You could even get the little-birdies involved.

You can find the full how-to here -> Watermelon Wrapping Paper

Admittedly, it is a nice touch to put that little bit more effort in.. Maybe keep it in mind for a rainy school holidays day?

Let us know how you go!
