Make It By The Book - Plastic Bead Bowl Project

My daughter requests to start painting or crafting shortly after finishing her breakfast most days and so I am always looking for new craft projects. One of the best resources of ideas I discover recently was the Make it by the Book (Craft Book) from Parragon Books. As a member of the Book Buddies team, I made a special request to get a copy of this book and I was not disappointed in the contents. There are 80 craft projects that all very creative and use different materials.

DIY Easy Bunny Decoration with Laura Ashley Wallpaper and Paint

The spring flowers are blooming and it is time to add some spring colours to your home. The new Spring/Summer Collection at Laura Ashley has inspired me to create a quick and easy project in preparation for the visit from the Easter Bunny. I wanted to create a decorative item that would be a quick and budget-friendly project. I created a home decor item using a paper mache bunny shape and a couple of my favourite Laura Ashley wallpapers and paint.
For this project, I used a two pieces of Laura Ashley wallpaper and sample pot of paint. The cost of the paint and paper mache bunny for project cost me less than £10. Laura Ashley's range of paints coordinate with their wallpaper collections. I chose to use Chalk Pink paint with Abbeville Pink Wallpaper and Geranium Pale Topaz Green Floral Wallpaper. Both this wallpapers have elements of the chalk pink colour included in their flower designs.
