We made colourful note cards for this week’s Do-Able DIY on The Pretty Blog, and while having so much fun with them we decided to just jump right in and create matching gift labels too! You can use them for just about anything - sneak them into your little one’s lunch box or hide a special note under your loved one’s pillow, punch a whole through it and with a piece of ribbon tie it to a bunch of flowers or gift to say thank you, happy birthday or I love you.
So easy, and you can print it right at home! Download the freebies here!
Today, we share an easy gift idea on for The Pretty Blog’s DIY Thursday - custom message chocolate wrappers!
Often, one just want a very quick and small pressie to say thank you or let that special person know you are thinking of them, BUT mostly food packaging is a little bit naff and you spend more time wrapping and covering than you actually had. Well, DIY Thursday to the rescue! Just download the template here and print! Now you have your own super cute and very special wrapper to cover up that yummy Lindt Bar!
We had a fabulous time with Annari from Nelle Cakes to create this Easter DIY for our lovely The Pretty Blog readers. Annari baked perfectly fluffy and spicy carrot cake cupcakes with the most delicious frosting to make up this cute-as-a-button dessert in a jar. Perfect for two lovebirds to share on a Easter sunset picnic, or use one cupcake in a smaller jar for single servings or even as a wedding favour.
We decorated the jar with a paper bunny cuff and message discs on the lid. View the full post and get the recipe and templates here.

At Seven Swans we are always on the lookout for new kitchen tea and bachelorette ideas, but when a traditional activity remains a firm favourite, we prefer to spice things up rather than just change the tradition all together. SO for The Pretty Blog’s Thursday DIY, we created these pretty recipe cards. Now you can just add your own recipe and take along as part of the bridal shower gift. Or spoil your own love nest with a pretty selection of favourite recipes!

When foodie, Nicola, from The Pretty Blog asked us to make some cheese flags for The Pretty Blog’s Do-Able DIY our eyes almost glazed over as we were imagining stacks of camembert and brie, huge helpings of blue cheese and yummy mature chedder all with cute cheese labels and pretty food decor.
We have posted an easy make-it-yourself idea where you just need ribbon and sosatie sticks, as well as FREE printable cheese labels made specially for our The Pretty Blog readers - so head on over!
