Happy Halloween Month and Giveaway news
Well, hello best month of the year and Happy October! Can you actually believe it’s Halloween month again already? OK, so 2020 may go down as one of the shittiest years on record, and surely the worst of a generation, but there is no way Covid is cancelling MY...

Sowing Seeds for Ostara
Next week sees one of the most exciting times of the year. Spring! The arrival of the Spring Equinox on 20 March sees night and day equal once more and the air alive with all the promise of the year to come. Apologies to my friends in the Southern Hemisphere who are...
Easy Wall Skulls DIY
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have a thing for skulls. In case you missed it, allow me to direct you to a few of my favourite skullalicious accessories like the skull knobs I made for the bedroom furniture and the Skull Floor Lamp created for the Halloween...
DIY Crimes of Grindelwald Props
The arrival of March brings a great many things, like Pancake Day (yum), Ostara, and the return of British Summertime (Oh. Very. Yay!) But this year, March also brings us the UK DVD release of Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald. Well… who wouldn't be excited for...
Crystal Storage and Keepsake Box
Do you practice magic? I bet you do. After all, Magic is all around us. All of the time. Every single day. You don’t need to wait for Halloween to tap into its power, JK Rowling proved that. But as much as I adore Harry Potter I am constantly in awe of the real thing....
Dark Fairy Tales Book with free download
Are you a fan of fairy tales? I’m not talking fluffy unicorns here. On no. The true origins of fairy tales are often much darker and way more macabre than Disney would have you believe. I mean, who cuts off their toes to fit into a pair of shoes to attract a prince?...
My Gothic Valentine
I’m so busy having fun with new projects at the moment, I doubt I’ll find time to create a Valentine mantel this year. But I have made a couple of LOVEly new pieces to inspire you to decorate for the annual day of lurve and beyond. And I’ve gone a bit Gothic. To look...
DIY Chinese New Year Decorations with FREE downloads
As you may have gathered by now, I‘m rather partial to a seasonal event. Halloween may be my number 1 (even if the rest of the UK is still playing catch-up!), but whether it’s balls for Burns or dragon eggs for St George, I just love me a national celebration. Any...
New Year, New Makes
Hooroo! And Happy New Year! OK, we may already be well into 2019, but with Imbolc just around the corner, it feels like newness is still in the air. All that promise of new beginnings has me excited about this year in a way I haven’t felt in a very long time and...
Hallowmas AKA Halloween meets Christmas 2018
Putting away Halloween this year was an epic task. Not for me, you understand, but Beloved was aching for a week after rearranging the attic to accommodate all those boxes and then lugging them into the loft. It’s also worth mentioning that he packed every single one...
DIY Jewelled Skull Baubles and a Simple Festive Skull Wreath
I was a bit late getting my festive shit together this year, but I couldn’t let Yuletide pass by without a little make or seven and I’m really pleased with the way these Skull Christmas decorations turned out. Here at OneandSeventy, Skulls really are for life and with...
Blingtastic Bauble: DIY Jewelled Christmas Ornament
Halloween may be my Christmas but for what seems like the rest of the world, Christmas is… well, at Christmas. And if you can’t have a bit of bling at Christmas, when can you? This jewelled Christmas ornament is most definitely blingtastic and I think it adds just the...
Simple DIY Yule Log
Silly Season has arrived (how did that happen?!) and all around us, the frantic race to the C-word is in full swing. But if you’re looking for a rather more gentle way to celebrate, then a simple DIY Yule Log might be right up your alley. You don’t have to be a witch...

***UPDATE*** There's now a 2018 Home Tour Video on YouTube. Scroll down to the end for the link. This is it. The Big One! The moment I get to take you on a tour of The Witch at OneandSeventy’s Halloween Home 2018. After 12 months of plotting and planning, countless...
Easy Elder Futhark Runes
Elder Futhark Runes are the oldest of the runic alphabets, the writing system of the ancients. No witch worth her salt would be without a set of runes with which to code spells and foretell the future so naturally, I made my own. As you must be painfully aware by now,...
Wilko Halloween Haul 2018
If I had a penny for every time someone said “Halloween? But that’s just an American thing, isn’t it?” I’d be able to buy my own Gothic Mansion and turn it into a year-round Halloween Open House. OK, maybe a bungalow… but I’d make it Gothic! And with all the Halloween...
Easy Palmistry Sign DIY
Cross my palm with silver and I will tell your future. Sod silver… Madame wants gold! As you may have gathered from the Fortune Teller Booth with its colour-changing crystal ball, one of my Halloween themes for this year is the psychic arts. To be fair, woo-woo is a...
Giant Cauldron DIY
This giant cauldron project is a bit of a beast! But I promise... while it may look like a lot of work, it's actually very easy. It’s just the drying times that make it a bit long, so if you want to make one in time for this Halloween, you'll need to get...
