Songmics are an online household company that sells primarily through Amazon and has some great value, economical storage ideas. With everything from storage cubes to make up holders, shoe racks to laundry boxes there really is something to suit everyone at fantastic prices. We’ve been checking out a set of storage cubes which you can read about below and I also have the chance for you to win a set for yourself (choosing from the options below).

These are flat pack kits that you build yourself, I did mine myself and found they didn’t take anywhere near as long as I expected although did require a little strength pushing the pieces together. I did have to get my husband to click a couple of the doors in when he got home as I couldn’t quite push them in fully. The cubes came together nicely and I was pleased with the results. These are mix and match so you can build them in any configuration you like, they could be in one long line, or built into a cube of nine like I did below.

I chose a black scroll design which looks pretty and modern and is suitable for any room in the house. We’ve currently built this for my daughters room and she loves the easy to swing open doors and has filled each box with a different item of clothing, one cube for shorts, one for t-shirts, one for pj’s etc.

These are lightweight storage cubes so I wouldn’t use them for heavy items such as books and they are very reasonably priced due to the light nature of the materials. They are therefore excellent value for money and make a great space to store things in like clothing.

My daughter is really pleased with her new storage cubes, they look good, hold a lot of her belongings and she loves to line her teddy bears across the top!

Duck Tape Colours is traditional Duck Tape in a fun new range of colours and patterns. Not just for DIY use, Duck Tape is perfect for crafting with so many inspirational things to make and do with it. Currently available in 11 vibrant colours and 4 exciting patterns we were sent a few rolls to play around with and see what we thought.

Miss M was super exciting when she saw the rolls, she loves her art and crafts and couldn’t wait to get making. First she started with the Penguin Invasion Duck Tape and decided to make her little brother Mister B some binoculars.

Although he had other ideas and just used a couple of rolls to peep through!

I decided to make a flower and Miss M was keen to make one too, although she was very insistent that I didn’t help her and she carefully copied what the steps I made. The Duck Tape is very strong which makes it ideal for crafting, particularly the petals on the flowers which easily stand up once folded over. Miss M did need a little help with the scissors as the tape needed a good strong cut, but I just cut little squares of tape and left them on the table for Miss M to fold and stick how she wished.

I was so proud of her finished flowers, all crafted on her own, she got completely into the swing of it and even added some leaves, she’s now in the process of making a big tree – I await the finished results!!

Below are Miss M’s beautiful flowers (the bottom left is my creation).

We’ve loved crafting with Duck Tape, something we’d never have thought of using before, although these new exciting colours and designs have made it much more interesting. The finish of our creations is shiny and smooth, much better than some paper crafts that don’t last long and get easily squashed. Miss M proudly gave her bunch of flowers to Nanny last weekend who now has them in a small vase in her kitchen. I love seeing them each time I visit, a great reminder of her handiwork.

Duck Tape is so versatile, the possibilities are endless. Each roll is 48mm wide and 9.1m long and is availabe on Amazon for around £6.

Would you like to have a go at crafting with it? Well I have 3 rolls of Duck Tape to give away to one of my readers so if you’d like to win some, just fill out the form below.
