meet the twits from Looville ;)*


Go on give it a go! Grab a toilet roll out of your recycling pile, squish down the top to create a nice owl or pussy cat shape, then tape to secure. Drape your critter in colourful tissue paper and brush on some watered down mod podge, sprinkle with glitter and let dry. I doodled a bunch of accessories on white card so that we could change up their outfits to match their 'mood' (yes a loo roll can have moods, you heard it here first!). Use double stick tape for this or foam tape squares which we found pretty handy for beaks as you can prop their spectacles. Great fun for a rainy day in with the little man ;)

gettin ready for dads day! ;)






a little present we made for Da, i may be recycling a few more cereal boxes from now on. A very simple recipe for this one if you fancy having a go...
---> take a cereal box, paint it white, let your little one doodle on it then smoosh and smudge the colours around with a baby wipe, trace hands on tissue paper, cut out and adhere (plain old pva does the trick) let dry then write your special message on top (i picked up this one on pinterest, thanks to DoodleLove for the inspiration)

i finished off by wrapping straws with magazine strips and fixing to the edges. I then added a  little detailing with marker to finish! tadah its done! Now we need a heap of fudge to make his belly smile too ;)

Catch you next time! x
