Description: Old lights remodelled into a flower light. WIP at the moment. Thin card layered flowers cut from hand and then added to each of the tiny lights. Remove the bulb push on the flower and then screw the bulb back into the holder. Can't be too thick as the bulb won't go back on and connect.

Dish drainer for everybody!
Materials: FLUNDRA dish drainer + SNALIS lid
Description: Some time ago we got the NEW product FLUNDRA. Friend of mine who doesnt have double sink in the kitchen wanted to buy it. BUT ... We dont sell it with something what is going to keep the water from running all over the kitchen work top.
Today I bought it together with SNALIS lid 40x30 cm.
It's simple. You just take the lid, make few stripes where kind of "legs" from FLUNDRA are and cut a small piece of plastic.
AND THAT'S IT :) ... easy!
Hope its going to help a bit some of you!

Materials: Gaspa sheet, Stockholm Figur curtain, wood strips, velcro, metal eyes or cup hooks, plastic rings, chord, velcro, glue gun, ribbon, chord cleat, staples and staple gun

1) Measure desired area for blind to cover
2) Apply iron-on interfacing to bands of Gaspa sheets, making sure to apply to the wrong side
Note: The top band should have a little extra to wrap around the top of the wood
3) Sew bands to curtains cut so the the overall size matches your desired length and width
4) Sew velcro to top
5) Sew plastic rings in columns on sides and middle. (Refer to a pattern for roman shades for more detail)
6) Cut wood strips to the correct width and paint wall color
7) Staple velcro on top edge
8) Screw wood strips onto wall
9) Attach shade to wood with the velcro
10) Screw metal eyes or cup hooks into the wood bottom, lined up with the columns of plastic loops
11) Lace chord through plastic rings and metal eyes
12) Tie chords together at bottom and trim loose ends
13) Screw a cord cleat to the wall and use to secure the cord when the shade is raised
14) Repeat for the adjacent corner window, butting the wood up close to the first
15) Enjoy your light and privacy!

"grass-diving-dogs"-as(s-) rack
Materials: 8 x BÄSTIS hook, 1 x HAMPEN carpet
Description: "New home, so we needed a new coat rack :) "I thought. What to do? Let's drive to IKEA."
We found those cute dog-hooks and drove home but I needed something more. It was too little for my taste. So I spend another afternoon in IKEA and found HAMPEN which looked like grass. An idea was born!
It's really simple. Take the hooks and find out in what position you want them. Take the measurements of the distances, mark them on the wall, bore holes for the wall plugs and put the plugs into the holes. Fasten the carpet on the wall (I took little nails from IKEA ;) ) and mark on it with needles the position of the holes in the wall. Now screw the screws through the carpet into the wall and put the hooks onto the screws.
REALLY SIMPLE AND LOOKS GOOD WITH OR WITHOUT COATS :)
Have fun with it and best regards from Kassel in Germany!

Cake Stands and Candy Dishes
Materials: OPPEN plate/bowl, NEGLINGE candlestick, E6000 epoxy
Description: Cake stands are always so expensive at retail stores like Target and the like, when they are basically just elevated plates. Why not elevate your own?
1: Remove the labels from everything and wash carefully.
2: Mark the exact center of a glass OPPEN plate or bowl, on the top face, with a black marker.
3: Apply E6000
4: Align the plate/bowl with the center of the candlestick and press down firmly. Allow the epoxy to set for 24 hours before moving.
While this is drying, prepare your favorite cake or candy to fill the bowl. You can also stack them and make tiered cupcake stands, or jewelry holders.

Tutorial - How to Make a Reverse Applique Scarf
Reverse Applique Scarf Tutorial at Show Tell Share
"I have been doing some research one reverse applique. I like the idea of revealing the final design at the very end as you cut away the fabric. I already had a project idea ready for the boys, when I stumbled upon a reference to multi-layer reverse applique, called Mola, that the Kuna women of Panama make. I was very intrigued, because using more layers of colors opens up a whole new world of design possibilities. I wanted to try it. To start simple, I picked 3 colors..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Rose Scarflet
Rose Scarflet Tutorial at Jewels of Sayuri
"But now faced with an emergency (I need a scarflet desperately) I decided to make one. A re-purposed one.
When a newly bought cami tears, I find it very irritating..The only thing the comes out of it is a dust cloth that you use to clean the showcase glasses once and then you throw it away. But what if it can be made into something else more worthwhile...Playing around with my pink knit cami I came up with this scarlet that is great to be worn when it is not very cold but still chilly. No machine sewing skills required for this project because I dont have a machine ;)..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Quirky & Girly Fleece Hat
So cute! I love the construction of it!Quirky & Girly Fleece Hat Tutorial at She Wears Flowers
"While we were at a restaurant, an absolutely gorgeous teenage girl walked in with her friends. She was wearing a pretty hat that caught my eye. When she turned around and I saw the back, I was completely smitten with the hat. It was a combination of beautiful and girly and a tad bit quirky. On the way out, I stopped at the table (bold, I know!) and told her how pretty it was and then asked if I could check it out. It was knitted and I don’t knit, but the wheels started spinning in my little brain.
When I got home, I immediately sat down and made hats until I got it right. The amazing part is that all of them worked just fine, but I kept tweaking it. I love that this project is so forgiving and easy!..." Read more
