  1. How to build a Stag Beetle

    Back at the beginning of 2019 I wrote a blog post that set out my '19 for 2019' - a superlist covering nineteen intentions that I wanted to mindfully work towards over the course of the year. Pretty close to the top of the list was my hope to spend more time crafting for fun.

    I'm pleased to report that I'm making steady progress - I've made some rainbow beads from this set of FIMO* , I'm (still) very slowly stitching my Stichsperation custom quote cross stitch kit, and I'm drawing along with the Critical Role Pub Draw series - but today I thought I'd share a craft project I have actually managed to complete!

    Today I am proud to present my magnificent Assembli 3D Paper Stag Beetle Sculpture

    Get ready for the best shelfie ever! In today's Five Minute Makeover, I'm going to show you a super simple ikea hack - how to use leftover wallpaper to brighten up the backboard on your Billy bookcase.

    It's really quick and really easy - and you don't need any special tools.

    Ideally you would do your decorating before you finish assembly, but don't worry if your shelves are already in situ, this hack can be carried out even if your bookcase is already built. So let's get started!
