Project Day; Magnet Board

What a great way to recycle an old photo frame... All you need is:

• Frame
• Fabric (we used Garden District in Mockingbird Pink by Heather Bailey)
• Recycled metal sheet
• Buttons
• Magnets
• Paint
• Spray adhesive
• Tin snips

Cut down your metal sheet with tin snips to the size of the frame then cut and glue your fabric to the metal. Put this together with your painted frame. Create some magnets with our beautiful buttons by simply gluing them together.

Have a great weekend.

What's New...?

We always get excited when new fabrics arrive. Here is a taste of what has turned up on our doorstep this week....

Happy Monday.

Project Day - Remnant Lampshade

We found inspiration on Pinterest for this project. All that is required is some fabric scraps, pinking shears and a lampshade. You don't need your sewing machine for this project. We simply cut leftover fabrics into long strips, wrapped them around the lamp shade and tied them off. Finish off with pom poms.

Have a great weekend.

In the Beginning

An exciting new phase begins now. 'Project Days' will be returning on Fridays. Starting this week we will be showcasing our products with easy exciting craft ideas. Here is a preview of what we are working on.

Happy Friday

This is us having a working lunch. 

Hope you all have a great weekend!

It has had a good clean and is now ready for primer.

Can't decide what colour to paint it......

We are using it in a photo shoot for our homepage.

Happy Monday.
