How to Make Pipe Cleaner Flower Rings
These pipe cleaner flower rings are so pretty and so fun. And most importantly they're really easy to make! All you need are pipe cleaners. That's it! No scissors. No glue. Just pipe cleaners! I've made at least 20 of these pipe cleaner rings in the last few days. I might have gotten a little carried away - to the point that now I'm running out of good pipe cleaner colours. Which says a lot, because I'm a serious craft supply hoarder! But these rings are so easy to make, and there's so … [Read more...]

DIY Edible Gumball Necklace
Making an edible gumball necklace is so much fun! Don't you remember those edible necklaces with the hard candies on them?

They are tons of fun to make, especially if you have kids to help you (and to chew on the gumballs). Get ready, you are going to need your drill for this project! And an ultra small drill bit (I used a 3/32" drill bit), some stretch cording … [Read more...]
Are charm bracelets still in style?
My sister and I always wanted to have charm bracelets when we were little girls. They always seemed really special and almost mystical, which is probably why my sister bought Leah a Swarovski charm bracelet for her first birthday. She has been getting her a new charm for each birthday ever since, so Leah now has 3 charms. It got me thinking, are charm bracelets still in style? They are still widely available from nearly every jewellery store. Granted, not all of them are as nice as the … [Read more...]
