Easter is fast approaching and whilst my kitchen is demolished, my house is a mess and I'm starting to wonder if my neighbours are going to hate me for all of the construction noise, I wanted to take a minute to put together a super easy Easter craft for you.

So easy, in fact, that whilst the builders were working downstairs, I grabbed some cardboard, markers, playdoh and my Cricut and put these together in half an hour.

Don't have a Cricut? No problem! I've put together a printable for you that you can print and cut yourself.

Let's get started! >>

I am one of those people who always likes to be snuggled up in a book. It doesn't matter the time of day or the weather, whether I'm reading a book or watching TV, you'll find me curled up under a blanket as cosy as can be.

And I know I'm not the only one - I have so many other friends and family members who share my blanket love - and that sparked an idea! A Customised Blanket would make the perfect Christmas gift, so I had to come up with a super easy way to do just that. 

And with a $5 blanket in hand, my Cricut maker and some iron on HTV, I did exactly that and created the easiest (and most impressive!) budget friendly handmade gift idea that anyone would be happy to receive this Christmas.

So let me show you how to make it! >>

I love popcorn. I don't know what it is about it, but I just do - especially if it's flavoured popcorn. 

Growing up, there was this popcorn stand at a local shopping centre that had all the flavours you could imagine - and every time I went shopping there with my Dad, he'd let me get a small cup of whatever I wanted.

Sometimes it was chocolate, sometimes it was caramel, sometimes it was salt and vinegar - and for my sister, it was always rainbow popcorn. 

And that popcorn recipe is exactly what inspired this super simple Father's Day gift idea!

This Chocolate Coated Popcorn Recipe is super simple to make - and it's seriously impressive. 

To turn it into a gift, all you need is a big airtight jar (my one pictured is from IKEA but I don't recommend it as it doesn't actually seal!) and my World's Best Pop! sticker which you can access here on Cricut Design Space.

I printed my sticker on some white adhesive vinyl, but you could use whatever colour you like. Simply go to the design page and hit make it! Also included in the design is a second back layer which you can use if you wanted a layered sticker. 

Don't want the layer? Don't worry! Simply remove it or just cut the top layer. 

Once you've cut your sticker, weed out the excess pieces, apply your transfer tape and clean the outside of your jar with some rubbing alcohol (this helps it stick). Apply your sticker and you're ready to fill your jar with popcorn!

This popcorn is also perfect for any time eating - or for a birthday celebration. You can also cut your own DIY popcorn boxes using cardstock and the Cricut with this Popcorn Box Template. Once you've cut it, simply decorate with vinyl or whatever you like, fill it with popcorn and you're good to go

I love crafty things and always have. As a kid, I spent hours making canvas artworks and friendship bracelets. In high school, I used my free time to make hand-sewn plushies and fell in love with scrapbooking. Now, as an adult, I love a good craft projects and spend many weekends dragging Jesse through craft stores and hardware stores looking for materials for my next project. 

So, when I heard that Cricut had a new machine that had dozens of tools to allow you to work on a huge range of materials -  I needed to know more... and apparently you guys did too! 

When I first posted that my Cricut Maker had arrived on Instagram, I got so many replies from those of you who were either desperate for your own, wanted to know what it could be used for - or wanted to know how it differed from other Cricut machines.

And I thought.... what better way to tell you what comes inside the new Cricut maker than to show you.... and thus my first ever actual Youtube video was born... 

So let me show you (embarassingly/cringingly?) what's inside the new Cricut Maker >>
