It’s nice to have a little project for January, for the new year (…for lockdown) and to create something personal for the home.

Designing and creating your own clock is simple and then you can personalise this piece of homeware to the colours and style of your own interior.

You can pick up clock blank faces with the mechanism from eBay, Amazon, and craft shops like HobbyCraft .

We’ve collated lots of great designs but you simply need paint and masking tape and you’re ready to go.

Make a Christmas table beautiful with the perfect centre piece. We’ve scoured the internet for ideas but the common theme is knowing you can use things from around the house or easy to obtain, to create one.

Gather old bottles, jars or a wooden box; use off cuts of tree, forage some holy or conifer branches; find ribbon, washi tape or torn paper found at home; use old paint samples or spray paint; find pebbles or stones; plus hand write or print festive text or guests names.
