Poufs!! DIY Projects. Forget the ottoman, what’s hot in style right now are poufs!

Poufs!! DIY Projects

Easy to put your feet up on, great as spare seating and frankly, they just look cool… DIY poufs are projects that can add double duty decor to your room, with a good dose of on trend design. I bought one for Steve for last Christmas… let’s just say, I wish I had made it! They are not cheap, even at a place like West Elm or Crate and Barrel. The other problem I had is that I couldn’t find it in the exact color I was looking for, so I had to settle. Never a good thing. Drum Floor Pouf DIY. Ok, deep question time: Are you a "floor sitter"?

Drum Floor Pouf DIY

In other words, if you go to a party at someone's house, do you always end up sitting on the floor even when there are available seats? I know I do. The past two winters, my husband and I have spent most of our free time laying, sitting, or kneeling on the floor as close to the fire as we can, trying to soak up all it's warm goodness. We even bought a pouf last year with the sole purpose of sitting next to the fireplace. This plan worked great for a while, but after a few months the filling in the pouf started to sink and now it's looks like a sad little round rug on the floor. ~Gathering Apron Tutorial~ - Reformation Acres.

TUTORIAL - Easter Pot Holder

I am forever looking for inspiration and it comes from just about anything. I window shop, people watch, sketch, draw, colour and read. I pull out my vintage paper patterns and books, flick through my sewing books and magazines. I brainstorm, plan, make lists and daydream! Actually one of my most favourite things to do is cut pictures from magazines and stick them into a scrapbook.

Поделки своими руками - Пенал своими руками для школы в форме машинки. Неизбежность первого сентября ежегодно заставляет всех родителей заниматься поисками школьных принадлежностей, и если с тетрадками и ручками все понятно, то к пеналу юные школьники предъявляют особые требования.

Поделки своими руками - Пенал своими руками для школы в форме машинки

Каждому ребенку хочется не только красивый, но и оригинальный пенал для карандашей, поэтому я предлагаю сегодня рассмотреть мастер-класс по изготовлению пенала-машинки, который однозначно понравится ребенку.

Делаем выкройку необходимых деталей для машинки. Для пенала-автобуса выкраиваем немного другие детали (большее количество небольших окон), и располагаем их в таком порядке: Пришиваем окошки к корпусу машины. Более объемно смотрятся пеналы-автобусы, представленные на фото ниже. Inspire Me Now. Wood Mouse & Bobbit: Finally Got to Make My Own Bobbit Pencil Case.

Because while they’re still home, I’m still in vacation mode. The routine is off, everyone stays up later, we play a little harder, watch more movies, eat more treats, and everyone sleeps in a little later (hallelujah!). But today is the day that the kiddos start back to school. So, 2015 starts TODAY for me. Happy official New Year, friends!!
