DIY Decoupage Heart

If you saw our recent window display for Valentine's Day, you'll have seen a variety of hearts hanging in there. These were all made by designers who sell in the shop to show you their different styles and skills, as well as showing our love for independent makers! 

Over on her own blog, Zoe (the talent behind All Wrapped Up By Alice) showed her readers how she created her heart and how you can make one too. They'd make great decorations for parties, or smaller versions would be lovely unique decorations for your home - like this one Zoe made for herself using postage stamps...

If you're inspired to get creative and make one of your own then head over to All Wrapped Up By Alice to discover how you can turn this...

...into a beautiful decoration like this...

P.S if you love Zoe's designs we still have a few roles of her seconds wrapping paper in the shop at just £1 a roll - perfect for tearing and decoupaing!

Valentine's Gift Guide

With Valentine's Day only a couple of weeks away our thoughts are turning to love. Some of our independent designers have made hearts in their favourite styles and materials for you which are in our window along with a selection of their items.

And we thought we'd show you some of our more romantic cards and gifts for a little inspiration. We also have lots of other unique gift ideas so you can find something that your Valentine will love!
