Pistachio Shell Wreath

On first glance I thought this was a wreath made of succulents... but it's actually painstakingly constructed from individual pistachio shells (and it took 20 hours to finish!)

Amazing Paper Mache Octopus

These instructions give step-by-step instructions on how to make this awesome octopus sculpture. What I like best is the attention to detail, especially the hot glue tentacle suction cups, as well as the overall realism of the shape.

Felted Wool Geode

This colourful geode is both wet- and needle-felted, and I love the idea of the 'reveal' at the end of the process where the felted spheres are cut in half to display the striped centre :)

I really like the look and feel of roving ...so soft in texture, and bulky enough to give extra depth to craft projects like this gorgeous woven wall hanging.

DIY Miniature Bookbinding

I have been working on putting together this Skillshare class for a while now, and it's finally finished :)

In the bite-size lessons, I will teach you exactly how to make a miniature hand-bound book.

Each book is finished with a smart leather cover, and measures only 1" wide!

The mini books have stitching down the spine (rather than just glue) to make them extra durable, which means that they can be used to actually write little messages in. And, if you add an eyepin, you can turn it into a necklace pendant if you like.

Thanks to anyone who enrols!

Fashionable Tie-Front Shirt

This awesome shirt was made by taking the sleeves off a shirt and sewing them back on at waist height to make a tie - what a creative idea!

Mosaic on a Mesh

If you're new to mosaics, then this tutorial page has links to some very useful guides for getting you started, and if you have made a mosaic before, it will instead give you a clever idea for using mesh to place the tiles on (instead of using a wooden board).

Using a mesh means that it's lighter and can easily be cut to any shape you like.
