Hobbycraft Instagram Takeover

I was lucky enough to be asked if I wasn't to participate in a Hobbycraft Instagram takeover this month and of course I jumped at the chance! I was able to create a template, cut and paint it and frame all using products given to me by Hobbycraft. It was a fantastic opportunity to use new materials as well as hopefully inspire others to give it a go.

I've added some photos below for all those who missed it and of course if you want to give the project a go yourself. Link at bottom for the free template (Please note this is for personal use and not to be sold on or any product made from it, thank you!)

Christmas 2017 Bauble designs

Fancy having a go at making some of your own Christmas baubles? Here are some designs you can now purchase and download from Silhouette or Etsy and make a 9 layered decoration that can be fit snuggly into a 100mm fillable transparent Christmas bauble decoration. These are available at many craft shops. I used pearlescent sparkly paper for mine, the files you can download from Etsy have a PDF, JPEG and SVG that are coloured up as per my designs. This is hopefully to make it easier to determine which layer is which as well as them being numbered too!

I had the pleasure of being asked to create a new template and have some work featured in a new magazine that was being published by Immediate Media Co. the people behind lots of BBC and craft magazines. This magazine is called 'Project Calm' and is jam packed full of summer craft ideas and I feel so honoured to have been included and be amongst so many other talented artists. It can be purchased from the Mollie Makes shop and all good newsstands.
