A DIY Picnic Blanket

Bri Emery is the brilllliant designer behind Design Love Fest. I feel so honoured to have been taught by her in one of her Blogshop courses. I'll need to do a post on that another day...lots of great things to say about it! As I was getting lost in her blog, I stumbled across this cute DIY tutorial. It's a super cute idea & looks quite easy to do. There's even a video to show you exactly how it's done. Enjoy:

How much FUN does this look? It's definitely going to be one of my upcoming DIY projects :) You can get the full tutorial here. Do you have any great DIYs on your blog? Let me know in the comments below and perhaps I'll feature it right here on techlovedesign!

Ampersand Design Studio

Carrie & Morgan are the two gals behind the full-service Ampersand Design Studio. They specialize in surface pattern design, identity design & stationary products. All of their products are bright, colourful and super cheerful. Just up my alley :) After stumbling across a few of their items over Pinterest, I found myself exploring their entire website, Etsy shops & services. I wish I could post all of their products but there's just too much! Here's some of my favourites:

1) Black & White Platters (these should have been included in my Serve in Style post)

2) Prints - I'm loving all of these! Positivity mixed with colour is always a good thing.

3) iPhone Cases: You know those people who look at racks of shoes and drool? This is my rack of shoes. Serious eye-candy. As I've mentioned before, (here and here) I have a serious love & addiction for iPhone cases. I WANT THEM ALL!

That's all, Happy Monday!

DIY: Paper Flower Cone Bouquets

For the past month I've been really trying to eat healthy (low carb, no sugary snacks etc) so you could imagine how this colourful ice cream cone caught my eye. I love the colours, patterns and reference to the oh so wonderful ice cream (plus, it's guilt free). This would be a cute pick-me-up/apology gift idea (save money on real flowers- those can get expensive right guys?) or even great for parties.

What You'll Need: cones, x-acto knife (or scissors), glue, bright colour paper for flowers, green paper for leaves, and a cool patterned paper for cone covers (I like the stripes).Let me know if you try it out, I'd love to see how they turn out :)

Top Easter Egg Decorations

With Easter around the corner, I've been seeing tons of creative egg decorations around the web. I'm loving all the colours, stripes & polka dots! Here are some of my personal favourites:

1) Black & White: These are probably my favourite of the bunch. They're clean, modern, and seem really fun to design. All you need are some white eggs and a sharpie marker. Try using markers with different thicknesses to get different looks.
2) Pastel: Grab some pastel sharpies for this look. Soft & Cute.
3) Pantone: Remember when I showed you Pantone Food Pairings? Well today, eggs are getting the Pantone makeover. Dye eggs by standing them vertically in a small cup of dye. Then print the Pantone wording on temporary tattoo paper (don't forget to print the words backwards).
4) Thread-It: Brighten up the room with these cheerful eggs! Grab some glue and wrap colourful thread around it.
5) Moustache: Give your eggs some character with some good ol' moustaches! Grab some adhesive vinyl and have fun cutting out different styles.
6) Calligraphy: Writing pretty on an egg can be challenging because of it's round shape. Just like the Pantone eggs, this DIY also uses temporary tattoo paper.
7) Dress Up: How cute is this little guy?
8) Message in-an Egg: Forget the classic 'message in a bottle', use an egg instead! Poke, drain, decorate, write, and send. LOVE this.
9) Sprinkles: Roll your eggs around in a bowl of sprinkles.
10) Writing: Grab a sharpie marker and write whatever your heart desires. The 'messy' handwriting look really works!
11) Neutral: Grab a white paint pen, some brown eggs and design away! Simple & Sweet.
12) Glitter: How could I not finish with these? They're super colourful, fun and so well done!Will you be decorating eggs this year? Which design did you like the best? Let me know in the comments below or on twitter @techlovedesign.
