Have you all seen these expanding beads before where you put them in water and they literally disappear? I absolutely LOVE them for these type of projects!
I just bought a pack from Amazon for a couple of quid and picked some bits from my garden to decorate this vase I've had in the house for years. That's all you need to make this gorgeous centrepiece!
Now, the longer you leave these beads in the water, the more they will expand (I left mine overnight). Layer up how you want your design to look, then add the water back in and watch the beads disappear—so satisfying, right?!
Then I just popped some floating candles on top to make it even more fancy and there we go!

Good morning, everyone! You all know I’m on my sea moss journey, so this morning, I thought - why not add a bit to my ‘healthy porridge’? With this extra boost, it definitely qualifies as healthy and should set me up perfectly for the day! I decided to try the goji berry sea moss, but of course, my porridge wouldn’t be complete without five squares of Simon’s chocolate, topped with my very own special cherry brandy-soaked raisins! And now you all know why I’m always so perky in the mornings—it’s all thanks to this porridge and those extra-special raisins! 😆 #MorningBoost #HealthyEating #SeaMossJourney #Superfood #HealthyPorridge #FoodieLife #GojiBerry #ChocolateLover #BrandySoakedRaisins #BreakfastGoals

·2022-11-24Eee how cute is this as a little Mother’s Day present? It’s super quick to pull together! There is actually a story behind why I’ve decided to make my mam this for Mother’s Day… so for my Birthday one of my lovely friends made me a lovely bouquet of Ferrero Rocher’s and I loved it so much I kept out in the kitchen on display and even told the kids not to eat them! Then my mam came round 🫣 bless her she had sat and picked out the chocolates and ate them! So now mam this one’s for you!! #MothersDayGift #DIYGift #HandmadeWithLove #CraftingIdeas #GiftForMom #FunnyStory #FerreroRocher #SweetSurprise #MothersDayInspo #MadeWithLove

·2023-7-7Let me ask you a question… how do you handle change? If you're anything like the rest of us, probably not that well! Very few people cope with change effortlessly—some embrace it, while others struggle with it. Now, if you didn’t know, I have a YouTube channel where I share short, 6-minute videos designed to help you succeed on your business journey. But they’re not just for entrepreneurs—they’re for everyone, no matter where you are in life. And, if you haven't already guessed, this week's episode is all about how to handle change in a positive way. So, head on over to my page and take a look. I'm sure you can spare just 6 minutes if it means making life that little bit easier! ⏳ @saradaviesmbe on YouTube #HandlingChange #EmbraceChange #LifeLessons #BusinessTips #PersonalGrowth #SuccessMindset #EntrepreneurLife #SelfImprovement #Motivation #YouTubeTips #The6MinuteEntrepeneur

·2d ago This has to be one of my favourite handmade flower gifts I’ve ever done!!! We make a special foam called' flower-forming foam' that reacts to heat and allows you to change its density to make it look more like a real flower petal. I’ve been working (more like playing!) with it for years! I had loads of fun making these flowers for a mini bouquet for my mam for this weekend (and I like that this one won’t die after a couple of weeks! She can keep it forever!) Who wants another Mother's Day gift idea? I've got one I think you will like so if you want to see it let me know in the comments xx #HandmadeFlowers #FlowerFormingFoam #MothersDayGift #DIYBouquet #CraftingFun #HandmadeWithLove #ForeverFlowers #CreativeCrafts #GiftForMom #MothersDayInspo #mybrand

·2d ago Thank you, Everyone! for watching 💕 Lets decorate a vase with water beads,for any type of occassion . You can place your water beads directly into your centerpiece glass or use a large container to hold the beads during the expansion process. Soak the water beads for 8 hours to expand. The growth is pretty amazing; a 12-ounce jar can yield more than 15 gallons of water beads.#diyproject #diywithme #DIY #fypシ゚viral #budgetfriendlydecor #diybeads #crystalbeadsdiy #decorations #kenyantiktok🇰🇪 #tanzaniantiktok🇹🇿 #homediyideas #

·2023-6-27It’s Mother’s Day on Sunday guys! I did my cards at the weekend! Every time I use our Gemini machine people always ask ‘what’s that’ so for any of you not as familiar with some of the more intricate cardmaking techniques this is die-cutting (and it’s what we’re probably most well-known for at @crafterscompanion) and it’s a great way to cut out all these little shapes that I’ve used on this card - and then finished it off with a little folded envelope on the front. I’ve done a cute Mother’s Day present for my mam too to watch this space and I’ll share it later this week! #MothersDay #HandmadeCard #DIYCard #SpringCrafts #CardMaking #Papercraft #MothersDayGift #CraftingIdeas #FloralWreath #HandmadeWithLove #mybrand

·4d ago You know how much I love the @Avon_UK Anew Power Serum and Lash Genius mascara, so you'll be thrilled to hear that they've launched a limited edition range featuring these (and other best sellers!) to raise funds for their charity partners. In March, 10% of profits from sales of this specially curated range goes towards charities working to end gender-based abuse. And as part of my role as Avon's Chief Insipiration Officer I'm proud to support the Mission to End Gender Based violence, which has already raised $1.1bn globally and helped 15million women worldwide. So now's the time to stock up on your favourite products and know that you're doing a little bit of good too. #VoiceForAll #EmbraceYourPower

·1w ago Who knew a simple test tube and a few wood slices could create the ultimate Easter craft?! You've seen me use these wood slices in so many projects, but these are something completely different and I’m obsessed with how good they look! All you need is a hot glue gun, some dried moss, craft feathers, and your favourite spring flowers—trust me, the final result is pure magic! 😍 Now tell me... how extra are we going with Easter decorations this year? I’m aiming for my biggest and best display yet!

·3-20I have just pulled this lovely craft project out of my box of ‘spring decorations ’ up the loft and I’d forgotten I’d made it last year so I thought I’d re-share the video with you all as it’s a super simple and really effective one. If you’ve got some wire then it’s super easy to make (or you could always re-shape a metal coat hanger for the same effect), just thread on a few beads, and then I just glue-gunned some foliage on there but if you wanted to spruce it up and colour theme it you could just as easily add some flowers. This is one of the projects I chose to feature in this months issue of @primamag (along with 20 other amazing projects you can easily get stuck into!) so if you haven’t already then make sure you grab a copy (it’s the one with the gorgeous @iamkb on the cover!) 😍 #Crafting #DIYDecor #SpringDecor #Handmade #EasyCrafts #HomeDecor #CreativeProjects #Upcycling #WireCraft #FloralDecor #SimpleCrafts #SpringVibes #BudgetFriendly #CraftersOfInstagram #GetCreative #HandmadeWithLove #DIYIdeas #ArtsAndCrafts #BeadCraft #GlueGunMagic #PrimaMagazine #CraftingCommunity #SeasonalDecor #DIYFun #CraftInspo

·3-17I shared my smoothie recipe a few weeks ago and got SO much love—so I’m taking it up a notch! Vic (one of the football mums!) has been raving about sea moss gel and its benefits, so I thought, why not add it to my morning smoothie? My usual mix: frozen berries, almond milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter (this one already has cocoa in it—so good!), chia seeds, and now my new secret ingredient! A lot of people ask if sea moss smells or tastes weird, but honestly—you can’t taste it at all! My smoothie still tastes just as delicious. 😋 #SmoothieRecipe #HealthyLiving #Wellness #SeaMossGel #Superfood #Nutrition #HealthyHabits #MorningRoutine #SmoothieLove #HealthyEating #Foodie #WellnessJourney #CleanEating #PlantBased #FitnessFuel #NutritiousAndDelicious
