DIY Round up: Wall Art.

I'm a huge fan of diy, not only because it's fun and affordable, but also because I like having things in my house that I MADE, not bought. It makes me love the piece so much more than if I had bought it from the store. Here are some beaaauutiful DIY to sprucen up your wall!


This stamped celery art is easy, affordable and super cute! Perfect.




Sun dyed fabric




































This is supposed to be fabric, but I think that it'd make such a lovely wall tapestry.

I love This fiesta banner! I'm a big fan of all-year-round banner hanging.

This  foil wall is so neat! It is a little more difficult than the rest, but I think it'd totally be worth it!



I know I'm going to have to do some sundying this weekend, what are you going to do?


Cheers!

Weekly Roundup: Tutorials and DIY's

This weeks DIY roundup are some of my favourites! I'm almost tempted to stop dying my hair black so I can give myself temporary lavender hair. Wouldn't it look lovely on a bride in a woodland theme wedding? This one's going on my Pinterest wedding board,


This beautiful lady has temporary dyed hair! TEMPORARY PURPLE HAIR! Now, if you don't know, I had bright blue hair for three whole years. If i didn't have black hair I would be in the bathroom right now giving myself lavender hair.




I have been looking at polaroid coasters for so long! They are so lovely and unique. One of my all time favourite DIY's I have to say.


Homemade gift bags made out of newspapers is an environmentally friendly - and wallet friendly - alternative to buying dozens of bags year after year.


These paint chip bookmarks are super cute! Although I have to admit, I'm a page bender when it comes to reading, but if I had these I'd probably find books to read just so I could use them!


Which one is your favourite?


Cheers!

Vegetables that can regrow themselves.

Yes, you read the title correctly. There are indeed thirteen vegetables that can regrow themselves, and pretty much all of them are from a piece or the stem...meaning you can eat most of it and then regrow it again! whaaat! I know, I know, I'll let that sink in. Infinite food supply? possibly. Probable? No. Magical? Most definatly. It's probably much easier to go to the grocery store, and you will probably die if you depend on the regrowth on eating...but it's fun to watch! And it's a fun family activity for kids!

                                    I couldn't help but add this adorable etsy print
Here are the magical vegetables, click each name to go to instructions on growing  care:

1. Ginger Root
2. Scallions
3. Garlic
4. Sweet Potato
5. Lettuce
6. Bok Choy
7. Carrots
8. Onions
9. Pineapple
10. Basil
11. Lemongrass
12. Avocado 
13. Celery
Some of these take much longer to do...as in ten years longer...but a year you can easily do in your kitchen. I have green onions growing in a beer pint on top of my stove. It grows like a weed!

I'm a sucker for stuff like this.


Peace.

Rowan
