living & loving handmade

We just adore creating and collecting over here, one of our ways to do both is with Mollie Makes magazine.  We recently started carrying it in our shop and today have a sweet little special for you.

First though, Who is Mollie?

Anyone who loves to make - handmade is more than just a hobby for us, it's in everything we do. We can't resist hunting down treasures in thrift stores, then customising, re-covering and embellishing our finds with our endless stash of ribbons and bows, buttons and beads, fabrics and felt. We're forever on the lookout for new inspiration. Whatever we do, we're living and loving handmade

Issue 19 is in our shop for $12 (including shipping) use code mollie and grab issue 17 or 18 at no cost!

Pretty Packaging Ideas

Just a little packaging inspiration for your Wednesday! How pretty are these wrapping jobs? We love the idea of using found objects, random ribbons and strings, and mixing them with classic lacy details. The best part is anybody could do this with a little imagination! Happy packaging!

Washi Tape Crafts: DIY Coasters

Last week we showed you how to make a cute and simple cupcake bunting using washi tape. This week, we wanted to share another super simple yet highly attractive washi tape project! Get ready for... Washi tape coasters!

For this project, you'll need:
Square ceramic tiles ( you can find some in the clearance section of a hardware store usually for a few cents!)
A variety of washi tape
Cardstock (optional)
Scissors
Foam or cork for backing
Clear spray paint or sealant
Glue

1. Cut a piece of cardstock to size and place on the top of the tile. (Optional -- I did this because my tiles were gray and I wanted the tape to stand out better on a white background)
2. Start covering the tile with your washi tape! You can do this however you like! Make sure the edges wrap around the tile.
3. Cut foam or cork backing slightly smaller than the size of your tile. Glue onto back. You can usually find foam sheets at your local dollar store, or cork board at a hardware store! You can use anything that will be gentle on tables!
4. That was easy, wasn't it!? Finish by spraying a few coats of clear spray paint on the top and sides. I usually do 4 coats to make them nice and water proof.

Enjoy your new coasters!
