DIY Published In Nido Magazine!

December 12, 2012 missV 12 Comments

Hooray! We’re really excited to see our first ever tutorial make it into print! This month we have had our tiny pom pom DIY featured in Nido Magazine, which is a German publication that circulates across Europe. How amazing is that!!

We never expected to have such an incredible reception to this project. The popularity has been incredibly inspiring – who knew tiny pom poms were so loved! 

We hope to have a lot more of our projects going into magazines in the future, it’s been a dream of mine forever and fingers crossed this little pom pom is the start of many more to come! I think it’s going to be my top goal for next year… anythings possible, right?

A big thank you to Nido Magazine for featuring us and to all you pom pom loving peeps!

Happy Making

      Thanks Holly!
      We’re really lucky that all the publications have approached us for the features on our tutorials and products so far, but I think it’s important to work hard on the things that you’re passionate about and to persevere. Good things come to those who wait 🙂
      Good luck to you in 2013!

    Your pictures really help you get featured, I think. They’re very good and you use nice backgrounds, which make all the difference. I struggle so much with finding the right surface, which is part of the reason I don’t do many tutorials anymore.

      Aww thanks Kim 😀
      We don’t have many nice surfaces to work on either, but we’ve found that having fun scraps of material to use in the background makes the pictures more lively 🙂 We think you shouldn’t give up on your tutorials and you should go thrifting for some cute and quirky materials 🙂 Your diys are great!!
