Decorating Mugs

This is a fun and cost friendly activity to keep yourself occupied or send as a gift to someone. All you need is a mug (any colour, just has to be porcelain) and some sharpie markers!

Draw your design on, leave over night (or a minimum of 4 hours), and bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. 

Tip: Take your mug out carefully to not smudge the deigns - I learnt the hard way! 

Let me know if you guys end up doing this!

Made By Manda: T-shirt Dress

I used to make a lot of my own clothing but these days I do not have the time at all. Here are some pictures of a t-shirt dress I made in a few different patterns. It is very simple with 2 closure buttons on the back. I love this dress! It is currently a little worse for wear but I don't think I will ever dare throw it out.

Enjoy lovelies! 

Made by Manda: Birthday Message Books

I think this 'Made by Manda' series, titled by my boyfriend by the way, will be a reoccurring Thursday tradition. If I have enough crafts to share that is!

I have made quite a few 'message books' over the years. It is something I enjoy doing, and I love it when the client is pleased with the outcome. Here are a few images from my own 21st book, which was toybox themed, enjoy!

Made by Manda: Scrapbooks

Here are some pages form the "Year in the Life" style smashbook I did. I used the red doodle smash which I purchased in December 2011. Smashing is a really fun way to let out your inner craft, I recommend it with anyone who does not like throwing out junk :)
