DIY Crochet Infinity Scarf

Hello,
I'm trying really hard to get the hang of crocheting, but so far I can mainly do very simple stuff. So when I saw this amazing scarf I thought I could give it a try.



I made mine a bit shorter and because the flower was too advanced for me I couldn't make it. :)
Instead of the flower I wrapped more of the yarn around and attached some pearls to it:

I hope you like it!
See you soon!

DIY Shabby Chic Twine Heart

Hey hey,
I've got one last DIY with twine and then I'll  stop I promise... :)
This was my inspiration:



Well, I've made mine a bit different. All you need is some wire, pliers, twine and a little ribbon.
Once you made the heart shape with the wire start wrapping the twine around.
When you're done just tie the ribbon and Voila!



Lovely, isn't it?
See you soon!

DIY Jewelry Tree Stand

Hello,
I have a very simple DIY tutorial for you today.
Inspired by this lovely jewelry tree stand I've decided to make my own:



All you need are some tree branches, lovely little vase with some vase filler and a spray paint.
I used this is beauty my mum made for me long time ago.



After you spray paint the branches, leave them to dry really good. Position them in the vase and fill it up with the filler to make it stable (I used cheap marbles I found in "Poundland")
And Voila!



I hope you liked it!
See you soon!

Black Sweatshirt Refashion

Hello hello,
After being so lazy over the holidays I'm finally back with more refashions.
This was my new inspiration:





I couldn't decide which one I like more, so I used both ideas on my refashion.
This is how it started:



All you need is pair of scissors, needle and thread and some sticky gems.
Cut along the neckline and hem.
I covered the brand logo with the gems, creating a heart. 
And Voila!



I hope you liked it!
See you soon!

DIY Twine Coasters

Hiya,
I've found more of my favorite twine and this is what I made with it.
Some lovely coasters finished with a blanket stitch.



It's one of the easiest DIY. All you need to do after they're done is to iron them with some steam, so they will stay flat.


I hope you liked it.
See you soon.

DIY: Cosy Blanket With a Matching Pillow

As the weather is getting cold and rainy, I've been spending more time inside with a hot cup of coffee and Pinterest browsing. I've stumbled upon this lovely knitted decor and decided to try and make something similar.


Well my knitting is not that advanced, but I had a lot of time on my hands and too much rain outside to even bother getting out. :)
So I knitted 4 pieces for the blanket and one for the pillow:


At the end I just stitched the 4 pieces together and made the fringe all around.
Then covered small pillow with the last piece and stitched the edges together.
And Voila!


Here it is folded in half. Not extremely great, but it's ok for a beginner.

DIY Dressmaker's Dummy Decor

Hello, I wanted to do this DIY for a while and finally got the time.
I saw the tutorial on Pinterest
and I tried it.
I used my old dummy for a model not myself and although it took me longer than I thought, the result is great. The hardest part was to decide which cover I like more :)
Here is the first one I did with vintage rose fabric:



And here is the second one with lace and twine heart decoration:
I think I'm gonna keep the second cover for now.
What do you think?

Twine macrame/wall decor DIY

I've finished my little twine project. I was inspired by Pinterest 
Now I can finally show you my DIY twine macrame/wall decor:





I've decided it's easier if I knit it.
When it was finished I stretched it while ironing with steam. Then just decorated it with some shells and sequins.
So what do you think?
