Vinyl Butterflies
Our newest moodboard Set Free showcases our awesomely handmade vinyl butterflies. They’re relatively easy to make (relatively meaning possible), but be careful and clear your schedule for the day.

Handmade Tissue Paper Flowers and Pompom Garland

I'm a little sad that I didn't save a bouquet of paper flowers from my wedding, but I never thought I'd want to see them again. So I made some for home, only this time as a garland... ...And as bedroom decor...

“block” printed duvet
i love bedding! summer bedding, fall bedding, pillows, throws, you name it. this project is inspired by the beautiful bedding textiles designed by john robshaw. i’ve taken a simple cotton duvet and “block” printed a pine cone design, but instead of using expensive wood or linoleum blocks, i made a makeshift block from scrap cardboard (free!). this project takes a little more time and patience then the last textile makeover, but the results are really beautiful and this can be a very inexpensive bedding update for whenever you need it. have fun! – kate
