Créer une décoration personnalisée à base de caisses en bois Les caisses en bois, c’est pratique et on en trouve assez facilement de plusieurs formes, différentes tailles, différentes couleurs mais on ne sait pas toujours comment les agencer pour créer une décoration moderne et à notre image. Je vous propose donc de découvrir quelques idées de disposition et d’utilisation de caisses en bois recyclées ou sur mesure. On peut créer un meuble simplement en les superposant et en mixant les matières et les couleurs en version meuble ou en version colonne en les consolidant avec quelques vis ou, comme dans la première image, en ajoutant une sangle pour fixer les caisses. Il y a aussi la version plus classique avec des étagères mais, pour lesquelles, on peut varier les formes (la très en vogue forme de maison ou plus original en forme de bulle) et les tailles. Pour personnaliser les caisses, on peut les peindre ou ajouter en fond des papiers à motifs ou papiers peints… … ou ajouter des roues, des portes, des cadres pour des utilisations plus variées.

It's a craft that has been around since before I was born and reason 2... it's a craft that has been around since before I was born. I feel like I might be a 100 years old at this point.

So it took waaay longer than expected but I do hope you’ll find it useful. If you’re looking for a cheap, simple and pretty DIY project for your wedding, coffee filter flowers could be just the thing! photo via Just Simple Designs Who knew coffee filters could look so pretty? The great thing about coffee filter flowers is that they can be used in so many different ways, from decor (they’d make a mean ceremony backdrop) to centerpieces, place settings, wreaths and, if done in miniature, they’d look so sweet attached to escort cards or favor boxes! You could even create a bunch of them, attach them to ribbon wrapped florist’s wire et voila! Dying Coffee Filters

Did you miss us?! For today’s bit of DIY accessory magic, we’ve figured out how to turn 3M’s Scotch Color & Patterns Duct Tape into gloriously neon rosettes. A fold here, a twist there, repeat a few times, and you’ve got a charming rosette to turn into a ring, pin, pair of earrings, or a little hair bling. Materials: - duct tape - scissors - ruler - accessories: earring backs, barrettes, comb clip, pin We used an array of neon duct tape as well as a fun snakeskin pattern as an accent for the hair accessory. We’ll start by showing you the step by step for our turquoise rosette ring. Repeat until you’ve folded all 20 pieces. Twist the first one into itself so it looks like the photo above. Cut off the bottom of the rosette so that you have a flat surface to attach your ring. Don’t worry about being gentle – duct tape is ridiculously durable! To make a ring, simply fold a piece of duct tape over itself lengthwise, roll into a ring and tape.

Decorate Flowers Hey all! Here's a fantastic set of ideas from our own Nancy Doren to help you have more fun and get more bang for your buck! Altering Prima Flowersby Nancy Doren The February Passion kit contains beautiful Alabaster Roses from Prima Marketing. Start by separating the flowers into layers. You can try... Stamping Ink your stamp with dye or chalk ink (pigment ink will not dry sufficiently) Press the stamp over the paper flower. Spray Ink Did you know you can make your own spray ink? Spray your flower (make sure you use something to cover your work surface... after it dries, acrylic paint is hard to remove!). Watercolor + Glitter I love to use my Prang watercolors on my scrapbooking projects. Dip a paintbrush in water, then in the paint. Add a sparkly finish by applying Stickles glitter glue (I used the green Ice Stickles from the Renewal kit) along the edges of the flower’s petals. Cutting Snip “V” shapes in the edges of all the petals to give your flower a ruffled look. Love, Rachel
