Welcome along to this weeks Tuesday Tutorials, the linky where we love to read your tutorials! Tuesday Tutorials is shared across four blogs to help give you maximum exposure and each week the four hosts round up some of our favourites from the last week to share. This week I’m sharing some fun upcycling activities for kids with cool things to make that you can find around your home!

Oh this week has been a whatsit, it really has. And when things get bad there’s only one thing to do, and that’s to drink lots of wine. But when its still morning and you can’t really get away with that there’s the other option which is cracking out the spray paint. Because spray paint makes everything better, right? So get here’s some upcycled jam jars, because when the going gets tough, the tough get crafting.

I’m a big fan of using stuff that we already own rather than buying new things. This plant pot was bought at the WI for the grand total of one pound and I fell in love with it. My husband, naturally, was horrified so I decided to turn it into an upcycled plant pot. This meant that my son and I could happily spend the afternoon planting a new herb garden, result.

I seem to have cultivated a mild addiction recently to buying vintage teacups. Not a bad thing but I only normally drink tea by the half pint! As a result I’ve rather got myself into trying some DIY teacup craft ideas and a friend suggested that it might be fun to try and make a pincushion with one so this teacup pincushion tutorial is the result! Sadly, it does mean I can no longer drink tea from this cup but at least it means I have an excuse to have it lying around and hopefully to go and buy more vintage teacups? Here’s hoping!

Well shock horror as it’s not quite Easter yet and we are already filled to the brim with Easter sweeties. Oops!
My son has been obsessed with plastic eggs for months (cheers YouTube) but I’ve refused to buy him one as I think they’re a bit of a con. Salvation for toddlers as usual comes in the shape of grandparents so he was super happy when one arrived in the post from my mum. After swiftly dealing with the sweets inside it he didn’t want to throw it out straight away and frankly I wasn’t super keen to add to the landfill that quickly so I thought we’d upcycle it.
