    How to make a Father’s Day crate

    What do you get the man who has everything for Father’s Day? My husband is really difficult to buy for as he has everything he needs. The children have been busy making cards but I thought it would be fun to make a Father’s Day crate we could fill with gifts which would also be useful for storage.

    Cricut made Numbers Day shirt

    For the past few years my children have taken part in the NSPCC’s Number Day at school. The NSPCC Number Day is a maths-inspired fundraising event where schools across the UK raise money for the NSPCC whilst taking part in fun maths activities and wearing clothes with a number on. My children were asked to dress up as numbers but there was no way they were going to do that. So I came up with a fun little tshirt on my Cricut inspired by those silly words we used to type out on our calculators when I was at school!…

    Cricut made Easter treat bags

    I’ve been really enjoying using my Cricut lately. I wish I had space to keep it out all year round but my crafting table is overflowing at the moment. I wanted to make some Easter treat bags for the kids to fill over the Easter weekend. We always have an Easter egg hunt in the garden. Last yearI painted little wooden crates and personalised them with their names using my Cricut. This year I decided to make something new for the kids to store their treats in, sweet little Easter treat bags. I found an Easter egg svg I liked…

    Easy Cricut storage jar labels

    I love my Cricut machine and have been using a lot for projects around our home. One thing I really wanted to do was update the storage jar labels on all my glass storage jars. We did our kitchen a few years ago and put our dry goods into glass jars. I’ve used sticky labels and even a label printer to make labels for each jar but recently I wanted to make labels in the same size and font for all of the glass jars. This is the type of project that the Cricut was made for and I really…

    Cricut DIY Mother’s Day gift idea

    I really like this time of year as there is so much to look forward to celebrating. We will be celebrating Mother’s Day on Sunday 14th March this year. I love receiving the cards my children make at school (although I’m not sure that will be happening this year). We usually go out for lunch but hopefully my family will cook for me and let me put my feet up for the day! I couldn’t resist making something with my Cricut Maker for Mothers Day. My Cricut DIY Mother’s Day gift idea is simple and low cost but makes a…

    Easy magic reindeer food tubes

    I like to put together a Christmas Eve Box for my children. Each year I find some new pyjamas for them as well as some treats, like a special hot chocolate, a new film to watch and perhaps some activities or games to keep them busy. They love to sprinkle reindeer food too and this year I thought I would make our own magic reindeer food tubes and label them using my Cricut Maker.

The gingerbread man is a timeless tale and these gingerbread men baubles are sure to delight this Christmas. There are two ways you can decorate the inside of the bauble. You can either fill with brown glitter or…
