Made of wood and cork this is a lovely toy for kids

The Ana­gram by Twig Cre­ative is a gor­geous wooden toy cam­era that your lit­tle one can wrap their hands around. The iconic design takes cues from the ever pop­u­lar Insta­gram app, hand­made using sus­tain­able wood, cork and leather.

Lovely platers!

Lovely platers!


Micro planters are really popular right now, and for good reason.  First and foremost, they’re adorable!  They’re also quick and easy to make, take up little space, and add a nice touch of green at a time of the year when many of us are already thinking spring. Taking care of your planters is easy if you pick the right plants, too. I like smaller succulents, and those that are easy to propagate by breaking off leaves. They don’t require much soil or water, and they come in cool shapes and textures that keep your planters interesting!

Decorative typography with wine cork

Don’t be shy about the size of the letter, go big! Smaller letters end up being overwhelmed by the corks, plus bigger letters leave more room to fit the corks naturally. And please, whatever you do, don’t cut the corks to make them fit. It just looks tacky. Either leave some of the wood exposed or go over the edge a little. I experienced both of those scenarios in this project and still love the end results.

The spring is coming!

Good-bye, winter!  Who’s ready for some cheery spring craft ideas?  I sure am, and I’m so excited to share this one with you!  The hooligans are off for spring break this week, and I’ve been playing around with some flower craft ideas that I’ve had in my head for a while now.  I thought it would be fun to stamp some spring flowers with wine corks and paint!  I intended to simplytest my idea, but it was so fun, and the flowers looked so sweet, I couldn’t stop stamping!  Before I knew it, I was elbow deep in colourful, stamped paper flowers!  Hmmm, what to do with all of them?
