Recyled Xmas Cake Corkboard

Om nom nom nom!

Christmas is great fun but it's also a time of huge waste. Once you've eaten the Christmas cake and unwrapped the presents don't throw out the board or the wrapping! Usually the xmas cake board is sticky and cut-up and you don't seem to have much choice but to chuck it. Meanwhile you often get lovely wrapping paper and ribbons, but have no use for it other than just binning it all. Mlle.Brico to the rescue! Use this Christmas' would-be rubbish to create a corkboard instead!

Ingredients;

• 1 xmas cake board
• Old xmas wrapping paper
• Ribbon
• Thumb tacks

Plus

• 1 Stapler

Take your destroyed cake board...

DIY | Cuff links for normal shirts

Why should cuff links be reserved for formal occasions? Not only do they add a funky detail but they also fulfill a practical role in keeping shirt sleeves up...as well as tapping into the masculine vibe.

You will need :

• Chain, at least 4 cm
• 2 jump rings
• 2 buttons
• elastic

Plus 2 pliers
