How to use Polymer Clay thanks to JewelleryMaker

On the 14th August JewelleryMaker launched 16 new DIY Jewellery making kits! These range from DIY How to, DIY Personalised to my favourite DIY Kids Craft.

JewelleryMaker Kids Craft - Polymer Clay Kit

JewelleryMaker have put together a fantastic DIY Polymer Clay jewellery making kit which is ideal for kids and well the whole family really!  The kit contains 5 polymer clay packets, jewellery making accessories, instructions and links to video tutorials.

Although marked as Kids Craft, this is in-fact a family kit.  The jewellery to make are not just necklaces and bracelets, but also key-rings and buttons.

What we made with our Polymer Clay Kit

As you can see from the photo above we had a lot of clay to play with. To start us off we used the instruction booklet to create the panda and egg and bacon key-rings.  I say we, and by that, I mean the whole family.  All three of us got involved in this project and it was great family time.

There is no limitation to what you can make, just a little bit of skill and guidance.  I even used my phone to pull up a template and we made the images straight on the screen to make our Pac-man charm bracelet!

How to get the Polymer Clay Kit for the family to enjoy

If you pop over to JewelleryMaker you will see various Polymer Kits including the jewellery kit that I've featured here today.  Also until the end of September 2017, I have a special code for you that will give you free p+p AND the free tool kit if you purchase this set.

So what would you make?  Please tweet me or leave a comment below if you do decide to take up on this offer and show off what you've made, I quite fancy making a Tardis...... oooh watch Instagram for my next polymer piece!

Term's Wellington Boots Review

#Gifted

My son was very fortunate to try out Term's wellington boots, and I have to say, I was rather jealous, they are marvellous!

House of Fraser - Back to School Coat & Jacket Range

I mentioned last week that we have reached one of the big milestones - Starting School!  I know we all go through this; the disbelieve that our little ones are actually coming up to school age and venturing on to the next chapter in their lives....

I had been in denial with regard to Max starting school until we ventured to the local store to obtain the 'logo' branded jumper and polo shirts - fortunately, Max was playing up so the whole ordeal just felt like another day shopping rather than a big moment in time, and because of that I didn't have to worry about hold back any tears, I was too stressed with him running around the shop, that's not to say I wasn't choked up though!

We only have two items of clothing with the school logo on so we are free to shop elsewhere for the remainder of my son's 'back to school uniform', and I have seen some really great value, good quality items on the House of Fraser website.

One item we needed to purchase for the new term was a good quality winter jacket.  The school is a 10-minute walk away so we will, therefore, be walking home in all weathers.  My son needs a good, waterproof, hooded coat to keep him dry and warm.

House of Fraser's coat & jacket range is vast, and there is so many quality branded jackets to choose from I actually struggled to narrow it down to one.  What I ended up doing was putting all of the jackets I liked onto a Pinterest Board and choose from there!

What did I think of the Tog 24 Jacket from House of Fraser?

In the end, I settled for Tog 24 Eski Milatex Jacket - and it's beautiful!  I've gone for the navy option as the school colours are blue.  It has a thick lined hood with trim which zips right up to the chin and has a Velcro seal.

It is windproof, waterproof and machine washable.

Best of all, I felt the warmth of the coat when I took it off my son.  It had kept him warm in the short space of time he modelled it for me, and it goes bonus points because - HE LOVES IT!

It's slightly too big for him at the moment, but I can almost guarantee this will fit him perfectly by winter when it's needed the most.

I'm really pleased with my choice and whilst I'm not wishing for winter, I'm very confident with the right footwear the journeys home will be effortless thanks to House of Fraser's jacket range.
