We’re into the first few days of September, which can only mean one thing – autumn and winter are waiting just around the corner. If you’re anything like us, you’ll want to hang on to the memories of summer as long as you can, so today we’ve come up with a few ideas to make the most of the sunny days and natures finest summer offerings.

Following on from our round-up of great garden crafts last week, we’ve got a nifty little tutorial today showing you how to make some quirky plant markers. So ditch the plastic sticks and permanent markers, grab some FIMO and get rolling!

July is a great month to spend in the garden; from the bright sunny days to balmy evenings, there’s plenty of time to get outside and get crafting. From creative ways to label your plants and nostalgic handmade boats, to fancy ways to upcycle the humble stick, we’ve compiled a nice long list of our favourite outdoor crafts from around the web.

The last of our short wedding series is here; so far we’ve made our own save-the-date cards, looked at simple DIY décor ideas, and decorated some jam jars – now it’s time to thank the guests. Wedding favours traditionally used to be a small handtied bag of sugared almonds, but these days pretty much anything goes. From garden-based delights to sweet treats, we’ve rounded up our favourite little gifts to leave for your loved ones.

Here at StickyTiger, we love a good garland; from simple triangular bunting to classic paper chains and contemporary geometric shapes, we think anything goes. Particularly good for weddings, they can be strung along walls, across ceilings and even between trees – but if you’re making metres and metres of your own, you’re going to want them to be quick. Today we’ve got three super speedy tutorials for great garlands that you can easily put your own stamp on.

There might only be a day left until Father’s Day, but that doesn’t mean you have to resort to vouchers or socks if you’ve left it until the last minute. Aside from whipping up some of our colourful coasters or a decorated mug, there are plenty of ideas on the internet that will definitely float your Dad’s boat – here’s our pick of the best!

If Father’s Day has left you feeling a bit stumped this year, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to opt for the safe ‘socks and chocolate’ option for your Dad. Get crafty, grab some felt and glue, and make him some nice new coasters to stand his cuppa on in the morning.

Here at StickyTiger, we like our craft materials to be as versatile as possible. Here are our favourite tutorials on the internet which show you how to get crafty with wax paper.

We're giddy with excitement here at StickyTiger as we've recently taken stock of these gorgeous Marquee Love light kits - just in time for the wedding and summer party season!
