4. Carefully lift a corner of the tattoo and check it’s separating from the paper. If it’s not, further wetting is required. Remove the paper and allow to dry.

5. Use markers and a permanent pen to add detail to your design.

6. Flip the wooden circle over and create a message for Mum on the back.

7. Add a touch of sparkle to your design using self-adhesive rhinestones.

3. Begin painting the cushion. You will notice the colour bleeds out to give a watercolour effect.

6. Place the cushion in a zip lock bag and put in the fridge for at least 2 hours to help set the colours. Remove from the fridge and air dry completely.

1. Knead 2 or more colours of clay until it is nice and pliable. Form long sausages and twist the clay together to create a lovely marbled effect.

2. Silicone moulds are perfect for creating earrings! Start with a small piece to wrap around the hole at the top then fill the rest of the mould, pressing in firmly.

3. Carefully peel the edges of the mould back and lift the clay off the silicone. Repeat steps 2 & 3 to create the second earring.

4. Create a cute heart cut out using a scratch board tool. Gently scratch the heart onto the surface and then dig slowly into the clay making sure it keeps its shape.

5. Creating keyrings are easy! Use a hobby knife to cut a block of clay into quarter strips. Adult supervision is recommended. Use the stamper set to press in a message for Mum.

6. Push a jewellery bail firmly into the top of the block. Make sure it is centred and pushed all the way in. The jewellery bail can be baked with the clay as it is metal.

7. You can also make beads for a necklace! Roll a ball of clay and gently pinch it between your fingers to flatten slightly. Push onto a scratch board tool to create holes in the centre of the beads. Remove the tool.

8. Place all of your finished pieces onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven as per instructions on the polymer clay box. Allow to cool and harden when complete.

9. Complete your earrings by using jump rings to attach the shepherd hooks. Thread a split ring onto the jewellery bail of the keyring and thread the beads onto some waxed thread to create a necklace.

2. You will need 2 fabric hearts to complete 1 Lavender Heart. Decorate your hearts using fabric markers. Once you have finished, iron the fabric to heat set your design.

4. Continue sewing all the way around until there is a small opening left at the top.

5. Fill the heart with approximately 20g of lavender. You want it full but not overflowing as it still needs to be sewn shut.

6. Attach (E) to the top of (A) using the same method, then the 2 (B) pieces down the sides. This is your bead drop board.
