Decorative pins

My daughters bedroom decorated in Shabby Chic Style. I love the charm and flexibility that comes with it. You can always add something whimsical and it will look great.

This is my cute and simple project on how to transform a simple pin(nail) into decorative picture hanger:)

You'll need a pin with clear plastic top (or just a simple nail). Hot glue and some flowers. In my case, I am using silk ribbon flowers (leftovers from my dress making projects).

Apply a drop of hot glue to the top of the pin (mail). Attach the flower of your choice.

Let it cool.

You are done!

Nice and easy, or and cute:)

Have fun!

Organizing, organizing, organizing......

I guess, I am into organizing lately, but this project has an educational background as well. I want to teach my daughter early how important it is to organize and how easy it is to find what you need if everything is in place. She is not even 3 years old, so she can't read but she knows shapes really well..... Take a look! Can you guess what is inside each bag? You are right - we have Lego, Play sets of dishes, Train and Building blocks. Now, she is able to put her stuff away and finds what she needs really fast and easy. I hope she'll keep it through her teen years (just kidding)

Money spent? None!

I've used cotton bags from my purses and shoes and just added appliqué with shapes related to bag contents.

Caterpillar from egg packaging

This is a ten minute project.

You’ll need Styrofoam egg packaging, bottom part folded in a half.

Chenille stems in assorted colors for legs and antennas

Wiggle eyes

Different color pens

Scotch tape

Double sided Scotch tape

Cut out felt shapes for decorations (optional)

This is the easiest project of all. My daughter lately into bugs and their habits, so when I was making us breakfast we were talking about caterpillars and I was holding an egg packaging…… Well, ten minutes later we had a caterpillar.

Cut of the top of the packaging. Fold the bottom part in a half. Cut chenille stems in a half and create as many legs as you want. Feed them through the package to create legs and antennas and secure with Scotch tape. Close two parts together and use a Scotch tape again (see the picture)

Using double sided Scotch Tape attach wiggle eyes. Draw the rest of the face. Decorate the rop of your Caterpillar and you are done!

Have fun!
