free printable patterns - Avery Huia

helloooooo!!

I hope everyone in Australia/NZ/anyone else who has gone back to school recently, is having a good time! i am really happy with all of my classes, especially Digital Technology which will help with using html and photoshop, which will come in handy for the blog!

today I have some free printable patterns for you, hence the post title. I have made four different patterns, all A4 & black and white.

you can use these patterns for lots of different things, I used them on my school books on top of brown paper! You could put them on a mood board, frame them, screenshot and use them as a wallpaper (or use these ones), you could also use them as wrapping paper for smaller items, (or bigger if you have an A3 or larger printer).

the image above is how I have styled my books, and I got inspired by the way Chloe has done hers, with the triangles and banners ect. My favourite one is probably the polka dot one with two strips crossing over each other in the bottom right! Just to make sure that the paper doesn't rip, I covered them in clear contact paper, and I also used black paper and white washi tape for the labels!

below is the link to the google drive album with them inside, I really hope you like them, i am super happy with the way that they have turned out!

album - here!

+ please note that these are my own original designs and are for personal use only, and are not available for purchase/to be sold  :)

wishing everyone a great year ahead, love from avery huia x

5 Ways to Stay Organised for School - Avery Huia

helloooo!

In New Zealand, as we are heading into Term 4, where most tests and exams are held, we need to stay organised, and I have come up with 5 ways of how to do that! I am not going into any major exams at the moment, as I am only year 9, but we do have a lot of end of topic tests and end of year tests. 

1 - Something that I find really helpful is a planner/diary. This is really good because you can see al of your notes, upcoming tests and assignments all in one place. It is super helpful and you can decorate them to be really cute and it helps to motivate you!

2 - Use flashcards when revising for tests. I have recently got a pack of ones that you write on yourself and they are so helpful when revising for tests because it is an easy and portable way to test yourself on the go.

3 - When taking notes in class, make sure to keep them bright and colourful, and even colour coded! It is so much easier to read when they are bold and the key words

really pop and stick in your head when studying. Colour coding really helps you to know where the important notes and words are.

4 - Make to do lists. These are super helpful so you know what you have to do, how urgent they are and it makes it really bold and it isn’t hard to forget what you need to do. 

5 - Tidy up your study area. It is really important to have a clean study area where you can see all of your notes and it is not clogged up with unnecessary items and other schoolwork. It helps me to focus a lot more when my workspace is tidy and organised. 

I hope you enjoyed this! I find all of these tips really helpful when I am preparing for tests or studying. Good Luck for any upcoming exams, you can do it!

School Essentials - Avery Huia

Hey! Todays Post is going to be about going back to school! If you don't live in NZ or Australia, you might be questioning why I am doing this now, but over here, we start back at school in February. I'll show you what I have on my books, in my make up bag, and so on.

In my make up bag, I don't actually have any make up, as I don't really wear any to school. My bag is from Cotton On Kids, and I really like the style of it and it also holds a lot! Inside I have, a Body Shop mini Lemon body butter that I got in Korea, some hand sanitiser, some blotting papers for after P.E, some Dove roll on deodorant, a Body Shop glazed apple hand cream, a Marc Jacobs Daisy mini dab on perfume, some Listerene oral care strips, and last but not least, hair ties and bobby pins in a little case! I keep this in the front pocket if my bag, along with a Victoria's Secret body mist.

This year, I have covered my books in brown paper, and at the bottom, added some Karen Walker washi tape that I got for Christmas! I have put two to three different combinations on all of my books, and as they are different for each subject, it makes it easier to find my books in between classes. On the name and subject tag, I got some alphabet stamps and a red stamp pad, and hand stamped out my name, subject and year for each book.

My bag is just a plain black Jansport, and I carry my books in a Country Road tote bag. I love these bags because they efficiently carry everything I need at school, and they look good too! I got my pencil case from Typo, and I have a blue Camelbak drink bottle, which I love!

Hope you all enjoyed this just as much as I loved putting it together! Lots of love xxx Avery Huia :)
