Shaped Lampshade
Using colorful cotton and fabric twilling, you can give your lampshade a personalized twist. Amazingly, this enjoyable do-it-yourself project can be finished in just 6 steps, making it suitable for both experienced crafters and those who are just starting out.
Wood Frame
Through the use of half-round molding and vibrant paint, you can easily refresh your wooden frame. In order to cut the trim, blogger Holly used a hand saw, which she discovered to be a low-cost method that she could accomplish using a little “elbow grease.”
Veggie Centerpiece
If you can believe it, cabbage is a great way to embellish a vase for springtime to make it look more festive. The first step is to wrap the leaves of cabbage around the jar and secure them with a band of rubber. Before you fill the vase with liquid and arrange your flowers inside, you should first conceal the band using a ribbon.
It is recommended that you incorporate herb greens and root vegetables that are strong, such as carrots, turnips, and radishes, into your newly created vegetable centerpiece. The unique craft will make an impact regardless of where it is placed because of its unconventional nature.
Fanny Pack with a Statement
It is not only fashionable to carry a fanny pack, but it is also an excellent choice for traveling. Using the fanny pack design provided by blogger Brittany, you may make your own. In addition to that, you will require a sewing machine and a mini-striped cloth.
Plates for Fabric Switches
An instant improvement can be achieved by simply covering your existing switch plates or outlet covers with colorful fabric. This can be done instead of purchasing new ones. Repurposing pre-owned garments or making use of unused wallpaper are the only things that are required.
Table Runner: Wood
It is possible to make this colorful table runner for the dinner table by utilizing rectangular pieces of wood and spray paint in the color yellow.
- The drop cloth should be laid out outside or in an area with enough ventilation.
- Put all of the pieces of wood down, and then spray it with a coat of yellow paint that is even throughout. Allow them to completely dry before applying another application of spray, if necessary.
- After the pieces have had time to dry, you may utilize them as a beautiful table runner by arranging them across the table in a design that you find appealing.
