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

Tides

Hey guys!!!

Tides

So from this blog's title it wouldn't surprise me if some of you thought I was going to rant about the sea or something but that is not the case. This is less of a rant but more of a plea. As some of you know I am pretty big fan of the band Tides. They are currently trying to raise funds to be able to tour the country and release a load of new music. To do this they have decided to offer their fans some fantastic opportunities to get involved. They have done this buy signing up to a website called Fan Republic. On this website you have the chance to purchase loads of great merchandise and exclusives. I have done my bit by buying a merchandise bundle for only £15. Prices start at only £1 and go up to £350 for a private gig (if only I could afford that one!!!). They need to raise £1500 and if they don't reach that target by the 2nd of march all monies will be refunded. Please help them out I know it would mean the world to many people around the country!!!
