Free Download: Ticket Style Christmas Gift Tags




Since it’s likely that I won't be posting anything new until after the new year, I wanna start this post by wishing everyone, who even bother to read this, a very merry Christmas, truly, bottom of my heart, truly, and also that you step into the new year filled with hope and having fun with your friends.

Ok, so now that’s over with, these are the new free tags I’ve been preparing, for a bit too long that I would want to admit. I designed it to sort of look like a ticket to a Christmas fair.

Free Download Hand Drawn Vector Banners & Ribbons



I don't know if you already know this, but, I work professionally as a graphic designer, and though I'm super into crafting, and creating tangible work with my own hands is super rewarding, "thanks I made it" kind of feeling, I like to bring a piece of the more digital field into the blog.

So here it is, I've created a new set of banner and ribbon vector resources for you to use on your own creative work. Print it, use it on your web designs or as a logo. You can use these for anything you want except, of course, selling it (check the files for more information).

DIY T-shirt Dress from Two XXL Men's T-shirts



It has been a week of vacation for me and the weather here in Portugal has been great to go to the beach, especially these last few days, we've been through a heat wave and it feels great to take a dive in the fresh ocean water.

How to Gather Fabric for Ruffles and Skirts

A couple of months ago I wanted to make a dress with a gathered skirt, and since I'm a super newbie to sewing I had to ask my grandma how could I create that pretty ruffled effect. Although I've since realized there are a ton of online tutorials and posts on how to do it, I had never, unti…

Hey everyone.
Even though it seems that I've been making a lot of bracelets recently, one theme that I wanted to do for a while was Bracelets for Men and never actually got around to making a tutorial. So when my friend Helder asked me if I could make him some super stylish accessories I thought it was the perfect opportunity.

If you are looking for gift ideas for guys, maybe for valentine's, father's day or even Christmas, I think these are perfect, they don't cost that much, take little time to make and you can personalize the color and style to match their personality. 

Of course, these are also perfect for girls to wear, no type of discrimination intended here ;) I also made an Infinity knot one for myself using red leather laces.

The supplies used in this project are from endlessleather.com, they kindly provided everything I needed to make these bracelets. I’ve used their leather cords in past projects, they are my favorite, the quality is really good, and the clasps are stainless steel, so they won't get damaged over time, which is great.

40 Amazing DIY Craft Ideas To Sell

Recently I've been wonderingif I should reopen my Etsy store, for a while when I started the blog, I used to sell leather bracelets and ruffled headbands made with recycled coffee capsules. Unfortunately, I stopped adding listings to the shop since I now had a full-time job and wanted to focus my free time entirely on the blog. 

This got me thinking if I did reopen the store, what would I like to sell, what types of DIYs I think would be a good fit for Etsy or perhaps a craft fair and that's what inspired this round-up. 

I've selected 40 craft ideas that you can make and sell online or at a fair, they are divided into categories and the link to the original source of the photos and tutorial is below each one, enjoy!

Learn How to Make a 4 Strand Round Braid and Create These Braided Leather Friendship Bracelets - Curly Made #diy #crafts #bracelets


Hey everyone.
I think I've mentioned this before but, bracelets keep being one of my favorite crafts, along with recycling. It's such a simple thing to give as a gift and usually, they don't take that much time to make. That's actually why I learned how to make this 4 strand round braid style, a friend asked me for a leather bracelet and since I could not find something quite right, I decided to braid the cords myself.

Free Download: Printer-Friendly Weekly Planner - 2018



A couple of years ago, when I first started blogging, I released a free weekly planner sheet that was meant to be printer friendly and minimalist, since the ones I found on Pinterest and looked cute were all with colored text or boxes. This new freebie is an update to the previous one, in my opinion, I'm biased since I made it but, I think it has a better-looking design and a handy to-do section at the bottom. Same as the first one this is meant to be ink saving for your printer and I also made an A5 version, so you can also save on paper.
