How to make a simple mould.

Posted on October 18, 2019October 18, 2019

Making moulds was one of those things that I looked at and thought ‘that’s way too complicated, there’s no way I’m touching that’. Just a few months later and I’ve got more moulds made and planned than I know what to do with. So, if you’ve been looking at mould making…

6 Things I’ve Learnt After a Year of Craft Fairs

Posted on March 14, 2019March 14, 2019

It was November 2017 that I attended my first craft fair as a seller, and not just a nameless face in the crowd looking over other’s wares. Over a year has passed since then and I think I’ve come quite a way from the terrified, clueless person I was then.…

If you’re a little bit of a hoarder like me, then you’ve probably got a collection of shells sitting on a shelf somewhere gathering dust. Maybe you’d forgotten about them and only came across them when having a ‘clear out’, which, incidentally, tends to mean that you don’t actually clear…

Posted on July 12, 2018October 15, 2018

While carrying out my usual evening routine of sipping at a mug of tea and scrolling through Pinterest, I came across a post about making candles out of cookie cutters. Obviously that went straight into my candle board for me to have a play about with later, and that was…
