Poppy Makes... a Harry Potter inspired trunk desser

Happy going back to school day! I hope everyone has gotten their owl on time. To spruce up your dorm a bit I have uploaded this video in which I show you how I decorated a dresser to look like a magical trunk dresser. It is more of a video to give you some inspiration on what you can do, how you can do it and what materials you could use. Go to the crafting page to check out my latest video. Also, don't forget to check out any of my other Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts inspired video tutorials on the crafting page and the Harry Potter party page, so you can be totally prepared for a new year.

Have fun!

Happy pride month

I am a bit late to the party but hej it is still pride month and I have been wanting to make a step by step video on how to make pride inspired bracelets to show support but I just haven’t been feeling up to it. I am so tired because of my chronic illness and this quarantine thing is getting at me. But anyhow I did wanna celebrate pride month because I think it is so important that we support each other, especially in times like these and that we should all be more vocal about the things we support. So I wanted to show you how to make LGBTQIA+ inspired bracelets in rainbow colours and such in a step by step video tutorial. But since I just hadn't gotten round to it I also thought what a shame because I did make the patterns and all, so long story longer... I thought why not at least upload the patterns so here they are. All you have to do is click on the pattern you want to download or print to get the free pattern in PDF.

If you do need some more background on how to make an alpha bracelet or a friendship bracelet I’ll put 2 previous video tutorials I made a little while back down below in which I show step-by-step step how to make those kinds of bracelets. 

Have fun!

Poppy Makes... free Mother's Day printable + a list of previous Mother's Day DIY's

So since most of us are in isolation, loads of kids aren't going to school which means no crafted Mothers day gifts. Although they are going back to school over here in the Netherlands on the 11th of May and Motherday's day has then passed already. That is why I thought I would make some new printables which you can download for free including instructions, all you have to do is click here. Plus I have put a list down below on some previous Mother's day tutorials and printables. Have fun!

  

Click on any of the following pictures and it will lead you to the FREE printable or click the video tutorial to start watching. Don't forget that if you liked video to give a thumbs up and to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you'll never miss a thing.

easy Easter crafts - step by step tutorials and FREE to download colouring pages

Can you believe that next weekend is already Easter weekend?! And with these crazy times, I haven't given it much thought really and maybe you haven't either. And since we all could use a little distraction and/or a fun activity I have made a list of some previous Easter inspired videos and Easter/ Spring inspired colouring pages. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe at home as much as possible, if possible. As you may have read in previous posts I myself am in isolation, which isn't a stranger to me, since I am chronically ill with a rare disease and therefore at high risk. And by sharing some of my experience with being in isolation and my crafts I hope I can contribute. Even if it is just one person that reads my blogs or sees a video. You are not alone! x Poppy

Hi I am Poppy

Hi there, maybe you have been following me here for a while or maybe it is the first time you have visited my blog. But since I haven't posted for a while I thought it would be a nice opportunity to kind of reintroduce myself. So I created Poppy Makes when I was 21 and I have always liked to crafting and baking. I like to be creative sounds so vague but it basically comes to that. I make video tutorials in which I show you how I make or bake something, which tools I have used, which tricks I have picked up along the way and these videos sometimes also include free printable patterns which I made myself. But I also make other kinds of printables like cards, calendars, mandala colouring pages etcetera and they are always free to download in PDF format. Of course, I like to scroll through all the pages of Pinterest, Instagram, just the web to find some inspiration and try to make or bake it myself. In the past two years I have picked up a new hobby and I have been learning how to play the ukelele. It has always been a dream of mine to learn to play an instrument. Although I can't say I am absolutely nailing this ukelele thing I have posted since then a couple of ukelele videos on my YouTube channel where you can follow my progress but also I show you in the videos which chords I use and strumming patterns. I am always open to new suggestions and ideas for a new video so don't be shy and come and follow me on any of my other social media channels or leave a comment down below.
