Decorative memo board

-

I recently bought this gold memo board from IKEA. I really wanted a main decorative piece in my room and this was perfect. I can't take credit for the flowers idea, as I saw it being displayed like this at IKEA, as you can see from the image below. It comes with 12 gold bulldog clips and at the bottom of the board are 4 hooks, so you can hang things, such as keys, ornaments, jewellery etc. One great thing about this board is that you can use it for different themes, for instance I saw a display of a wedding theme that had flowers, pictures and written notes attached to it. Another great thing about this board is that it is so light, so if you live in an old house like I do and are worried about how weak your walls are, don't worry because it most likely will not fall down. Additionally, you only need to hammer in two nails to put it up and that's it, SUPER simple! Lastly, this board only costs £12!

Below will be some simple instructions on how to go about decorating your memo board.

IKEA's version of the memo board

What you need:

  • Artificial flowers
  • IKEA memo board (includes bulldog clips)
  • Pictures or notes to clip on to
  • String 
  • Wire cutters 
  • Hammer
  • 2 nails
     












Instructions:

 Step 1: First arrange on top of the board what you want to put on, but don't attach anything. Then take a photo so you remember where you have placed everything.

Step 2: Next, position your board on the wall and then start to hammer in your nails.

Step 3: After, cut your flowers with wire cutters to a size that best fits with you. Only use wire cutters if the green plastic stem has wire inside, if they don't just use scissors.

Step 4: Now grab your string and cut roughly 20cm. Then start to wrap the string with one end going left and the other end going right around the flower (s) and the board. See image below for better detail. Keep wrapping quite a few times until it looks thick, this will make it more secure.



 Step 5: Once all of your flowers are secure, clip on your pictures and notes and then your done. Hope you enjoyed making your decorative memo board!

Italy: A Coastal Food Guide

I think we can all agree that Italian food is just like heaven on a plate. The burst of rich flavours combined with the vibrant colours and smooth and crunchy textures will get your taste buds excited on all the feasts that Italian food has to offer. This will be a guide to lead you through all of the delicious food, such as pasta, pizza, gelato and more down by Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Portofino, Genoa and the Cinque Terre.  I'll start off with Rapallo, my favourite food place was at this hotel called Hotel Europa or as I liked to call it the pink palace, as it stood out from it's surroundings by its' vibrant colour. This hotel has a very wide restaurant space and a quiet calming atmosphere. The people who work there also seem to be Ed Sheeran fans, as there was a lot of his music playing quietly in the background, no complaints from me!😂I think it was my favourite place to eat, because the food was so creamy to the point where it melts in your mouth and it was so...

......................................................................................................................................       ........................................................................................................................................ It's becoming increasingly popular in our daily breakfasts and even dessert. I have recently loved adding this delicious oat, fruit and sweet blend into my food, especially smoothie bowls! Of course I love eating this combo for the taste, but also because it fills me up and I'm someone whose appetite is ridiculous and it takes something special like this to do the job! So if you love granola as much as I do and would love to learn how to make some, please see below for my recipe. Ingredients:  160g Oats 70g Raisins 6 Dried Apricots  20g Desicated Coconut 4 Brazil Nuts (Chopped) 1tsp 1/2 of Ground Cinnamon 1 tbsp Orange Zest 2tbsp Coconut Oil (Me...

Homemade Elderflower Cordial

Spring is slowly heading into summer in the UK at the mo, but as I am writing it is currently pouring down with rain and is very cold - classic. To be fair though it has been hot and sunny in the last few weeks, if you count 25℃ as hot, haha only in England. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you on how to make some homemade elderflower cordial, because it's that time of year and we actually have elderflower growing in our garden, which is such a revelation because we are not natural green-fingered people at home. If you don't have an elderflower tree/bush at home, then why not take a walk, you'd be surprise how much elderflower there is outside your front door! Below is the recipe for a refreshing drink that will keep you cool and your tastebuds tingling for more! Ingredients: 5 elderflower heads (make sure they are fully bloomed) 450ml boiling water 340g caster sugar 2 Lemons Also you need a glass bottle, which is sterilised - look at st...
