Personalised Glitter Photo Ornament DIY


All you need for this quick and easy Christmas DIY (Which would make a great gift, especially if you used it as a tag when you wrapped another present!) is a clear ornament (the kind that splits down the middle), a small photo of your choice, glitter, two strips of ribbon and some glue.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 1// Cut the photo down to size, I used the bottom photo off an Urban Outfitters strip and rounded the edges slightly, and write a message on the back of the photo. 
2// Next dip your finger in the glitter and tap it all over the inside of each half of the ornament, it should stick very easily. I ended up with glitter all over my maths hw as a result of this step though.
3// Then poke the image slightly into one half of the ornament and click the two sides together.
4// Once they're together you can draw a strip of glue down each side of the ribbon you're using and glue it over the 'seam' of the ornament, hiding the join.
5// The final step is to take another piece of that same ribbon and feed it through the hole on top of the ornament tying it in a big bow. 

Hope you like this easy DIY idea...

DIY Bloody Candles for Halloween

All you need for this super easy Halloween DIY is a white pillar candle, matches, and a red candle. 



Simply light the red candle and let the wax melt, dripping it onto the white one around the circumference of its top and particularly down the sides. Make sure you do this over a protected, non-flammable surface and please be careful! As you can see, I made quite the mess. Make sure you let the candle fully cool before picking it up to move it too! They're the perfect party decoration or would look great in your window on Halloween night, to tempt Trick or Treaters to your door. However you use them they're sure to give someone a scare.

Day 4: ASDA Decoration Wishlist

ASDA Decoration Wishlist


So I went looking online for some pretty decorations for this here decoration wishlist and I was just super impressed with Asda's selection so I decided to make it an exclusively Asda one. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sparkly-ness. I went mostly with a white and blue theme since that's what my room is but they have  a great selection in other colours too. I will definitely be heading to Asda to pick up a few of these gems, I think the candy cane is my fave. But then I love the post box and the phone box too. I just wanna buy it all really and at £2 each I probably could. The most expensive thing on here is the blue glitter deer at £5 which is still great value. 

So does anyone else have any decoration shopping recommendations for me?
