I enjoy raising and decorating gourds. The one here is one of my favorites. It only required tan leather dye, a skill saw with a fine blade and a drill and bit along with a little sandpaper and leather lacing.
Instead of turning an old window into a decorative mirror, I decided to smudge up the glass with grey acrylic paint. I then finger painted "milk" bottles in each pane. This went well with my country kitchen/vintage decor.
Trivet made with recycled sealer rings and yarn. Thread needle with yarn and wind it around six of the sealer rings, completely covering each ring. Tuck ends back through yarn and cut.
Use inexpensive vinyl wallpaper for accents in your room if there isn't enough for your task. Buy it at thrift shops or rummage sales and get creative !
I enjoy making and giving homemade gifts for showers, birthdays, baby showers and I've found how easy it is to make "no sew" cut and tie fleece blankets! It's so simple.
Go to Home Depot or Lowe's ceramic tile department. Choose a tile that is one color but has a design in it. Take 6 corks, cut them in half as evenly as possible. Glue them to the underside of the tile.
I had a lot of yarn laying around the house so I made a pom pom rug out of it. I got the idea from Lions yarns but, of course, I could not afford their yarn. I did not use their directions either.
This natural and artistic piece is a great way to add some dimension and class to a room. The round stone base and graceful grass top create a unique planter looking decoration.
