Looking for a last minute cheap and easy (but cute) Christmas DIY gift? Or love personalising presents and all your accessories - like I do?

Here is what you need:

A hat

Embroidery thread and needle

Pencil

Step 1: Trace your design onto the hat

I just did mine free hand but I am sure you can find ideas online

(I used a random circle shaped object to trace the circle on)

Step 2: Start sewing

I just did a basic standard one stitch all they way around, following the outlines until it was done :) It's super easy and cute :P

DIY: Record Tables

A while back I saw a record table in a shop and figured I would try make my own. It was really easy and cheap - I'm really pleased with how they turned out! People always ask where I have bought them from but really they are just an easy DIY :) Each table worked out to be about $12 each.

Materials:

Second hand records from an op shop (usually about $1 each)
Silver cake stands/platforms from bargain city ($3)
Plant holders from kmart ($5-$6 depending on the size)
Adhesive glue from bunnings (I tried two different types Shelleys KwikGrip and I can't remember the other ahah but anything that's stronger than regular craft glue should be good)

Step one

Wipe over the record and cake platform to prep them for gluing. Glue the record to the cake stand.

Step two

Next glue them to the outside of the plant stand and hold down with books or weights for 24 hours.

There is really not much else to it. Super quick and easy, they are a statement piece and brighten up any room. I always get compliments on them and people ask where did you get them from? Be sure to give them a go and let me know what you think :)

DIY Bunting - Christmas Edition

Today, I'm going to share with you all my DIY christmas project - bunting!!! I have made bunting before as room decor however there are many different occasions you can make them for as these instructions are very versatile. It is very easy to personalise your bunting decorations.

Before we start there are few things you will need:

- Fabric of your choice - I chose a few different kinds
- Cardboard - for cutting template flags
- Pencil and Ruler - to measure the width between the flags
- Scissors
- Glue (either craft glue or a hot clue gun)
- Fray Stopper (this is optional but it will ensure the bunting lasts a longer time)
- Ribbon - to use as the string that holds it all together

Step One

Cut a template flag out of some cardboard.

Step Two

Trace the template onto the fabric corresponding to the number of flags you want - for this example I've chosen 7 flags per set of bunting.

Step Three

Cut out the flags and arrange them into your desired pattern.

Step Four

With your ruler and ribbon measure approximately 30 cm and then begin gluing the flags.

I chose to use 10 cm increments between each flag for my bigger bunting and 6 cm spaces between each flag for my smaller bunting.

Leave the bunting to dry and your done :)

I hope you enjoyed this DIY post! Please leave a comment below if you make the bunting or telling me what you've made this year for Christmas decorations.

Merry Christmas!! :)

xoxo
