DIY : Stuffed Jar Couture

Jars are leaving a mark on the design and deco sphere , i see them everywhere and i love it.

A Jar-head myself, you'll see me using them frequently in my projects. This is just one of the many to come. I used a lot of different fabric so I hope you like it!

A combination of black lace and rainbow flowers works

 Double sided fabric is perfect

 Roll the fabric on your hand and stuff the Jars

How pretty?

DIY : Curtain Belt Deco

DIY projects that make me smile are those that take a little but give a lot . . . just like this one.

My bedroom curtains were too blah . I didn't want to add more fabric, it was heavy enough and with my quilted duvet i couldn't add more color to the room either. Finials were also not an option so the only easy and less expensive option was to decorate the curtain belts.

This took me less than 10 minutes to do and the effect was exactly what i had in mind . . . a little je ne sais quoi!

DIY : Buffet Labels

When i bought my first can of Chalkboard paint i couldn't stop thinking of all the things i could do, the potential was huge! After proper thought , many of the ideas which sounded good in my head were in fact useless unti i saw the cutest chalkboard candy buffet labels at a wedding and had to make some for myself!

They came in pretty handy at a birthday brunch. I used disposable recharge cards, sticks , some paper tape and chalk.

DIY : Birthday Garland

Oh what a summer .... My dancing feet are recovering from all the long nights as the DJ brought back the 80's while we answered with our renditions of the Lambada, Running Man and Moonwalk!

With all the celebrations , i still managed to craft. Here's the latest from an intimate birthday where I made party garlands using thin rope, cup cake cups and comic book paper:

Fun times!

DIY : Bottled Family Album

Bored of picture frames? Why not try soda bottles and jars? You can do so much with this idea.

Go all out and decorate the bottles with ribbon , fill them up with colored sand or keep it simple. I recommend to use black and white or sepia colored pictures for a vintage effect. Matter paper is also the best way to go.

Here's my take of a family album, hope you like it!

Recycling is Chic!
