I Built a Terrarium!!!

Ok I know four posts in a week plus a giveaway, I am spoiling you!!!

So this blog is inspired by Wednesdays post. After looking at so many brilliant terrariums by the fantastic Indoor Botanist I decided to give it a go myself. And I have to say I enjoyed it (even if I did get stabbed).

The hardest thing was finding the right container or vessel. But finally, I found a simple glass vase in TK Maxx for just £4.99. I also found a massive tank for just £20 that I would love to eventually create something awesome with.

So how did I make it? First of all, I poured in a layer of stones (£1 for a bag in B&M). I then added a layer of potting soil (£2.50 for a big bag from Wilko). Now, this is the tricky part, getting the cacti from the pots into the terrarium. As you can see from the photos I chose some particularly mean cacti. I ended up wrapping them in a tea towel and pushing them in with a spoon. Probably not the most conventional method. The cacti were actually super affordable (from £1 at Wilko). I then added a couple more stones to the top as decoration (and to support on of the cacti). And Pow you have a simple terrarium. Now, this is what I am most impressed with! I have finally started to get a hang of my camera so admire these beautiful photos!!!

What a Beautiful Day

Happy Saturday!!!
Today I woke up and all I wanted to do was make something. Get all crafty again!!!
Typical me I didn't know what to make all I knew is that I wanted to try something new. So to help me decide I went for a walk into town and let me tel you the weather was beautiful. Check out this gorgeous picture of the Cathedral I took.

This has been a long week and ever muscle in my body was starting to ache while i was waking around so I decided to try my hand at making bath bombs!!
I made two varieties; lavender and, green tea and cucumber. Honestly I was surprised how easy they were to make. I found a simple recipe on the diy projects for teens site. Unfortunately I don't have a bath so my sister will be testing them out next week for me!!!
If they work as they are supposed to I will be selling them over on my depop page for just £2.50 each!! They will be made to order and I really wanna try out loads of different colour combinations, shapes and scents so please feel free to request anything no matter how crazy it is!!!!
The bath bombs are currently drying so I don't have a picture of them at the moment but keep an eye on my instagram later.

As Always

DIY IT!!!| DIY Christmas Gifts

Snow is fallin'
All around me
Children playin'
Having fun
It's the season
Love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone

I know right, can you believe Christmas is literally round the corner. This year I have been super unorganised and have literally bought nothing. So this year I have set myself a little challenge. I am going to try and make some gifts.

So the first DIY I have done are the famous 'Sharpie Mug'. Now I couldn't find any of the sharpie paint markers so i used posca pens instead. So I have made these for my two house mates and my mum and sister. Everyone loves mugs and they can be used for so much more than just drinking a good cuppa tea!!!

So first of all you will need a selection of cheap plain mugs, nail varnish remover, paint pens and stickers.

I'm not all that creative so i went with the monogram letter dot design. What I did was print out some letters in a variety of bold fonts onto some sticker paper. once I stuck the letters to the mugs and chose the colours i wanted the dots to be. I chose silver and gold as I thought it was very christmassy!!!
once you are happy with your design peel the sticker off and leave to dry fully over night. In order to be able to use the mug without damaging your design you will need to pop in the oven at 220 for around 45 mins. Make sure you let the mugs warm up and cool down completely with the oven to prevent cracking.
Your mugs are now done!!! Make sure to only hand wash them so they last longer!!!!

And hey presto you have the perfect gift for quite simply anyone!!!! I hope you have enjoyed this little DIY and if you give it a go please share what you make using #lovehayleybeth

Busy Bee!!!

Hello my lovelies!!!
I have been a very busy bee recently. First of all I have started working in a lovely new store of which I am enjoying thoroughly!!! Secondly I have been exercising my creativity by creating a beautiful line of necklaces. What I have made are not necessarily high end fashion but they are something that I think are beautiful. They are simple charm necklaces made of black cord and antique bronze charms and pendants.
In the future I want to be able to use quartz and crystal pendants. I would also like to create a line of bracelets and earrings.

My necklaces are available on depop, you can find me by searching lovehayleybeth. All my necklaces start at £3 and can be fully customised to fit your personality. If you don't have depop and don't want to download it you can email me at lovehayleybeth@gmail.com to order a custom design and payment can be done via paypal.
