No-Weave Wall Hangings

07.08.16

It seems as though the weaving trend is here to stay, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Wall hangings are a great way to add color and texture to your home. If you don’t want to buy or make your own loom, no-weave alternatives are a great way to achieve a similar effect. There are many different styles of no-weave wall hangings, and I rounded up 10 of my favorites!

Donut DIYS for National Donut Day

06.02.16

Donut or Doughnut? No matter how you spell it everyone should be super excited about National Donut Day this Friday! I love any excuse to eat donuts, but I feel less guilty about it knowing everyone else is eating them too! Not only are donuts delicious, they are also super cute! It’s amazing how you can turn pretty much anything round into a version of the sweet treat. Donut Soap by Bespoke Bride

Decorating with Pastel Walls

05.31.16

When we first moved into our house in Virginia, the walls in my room were painted a pastel pink. I loved them until I grew older and felt like they were too babyish. When I got to choose the new color for my room, I stuck with pink, but in a darker more vibrant shade. Though I finally ended up painting my walls white a couple years ago, the thought of a soft pastel color was very appealing. You can paint entire rooms, an accent wall, or a simple shape in a powdery hue. Add some gold or brass accents for a modern touch!

Geometric Glass Terrarium DIY

05.24.16

This geometric glass terrarium is probably one of my most ambitious DIY projects to date. I had never worked with glass before but figured, hey, how hard could it be? And it turns out…it’s extremely hard. So hard that I actually contemplated not posting this tutorial so that I wouldn’t inflict the pain and frustration of working with glass on anyone. But I worked hard on it, and I figured there are plenty of you out there who are much more talented at the glass game than I am.

I would recommend watching some tutorials on glass cutting and even reading about it before attempting this glass terrarium project. I would even practice cutting glass pieces before cutting out your shapes. Or, if you would rather stay away from glass altogether, I think acrylic sheets would work just as well.

My terrariums didn’t turn out quite as good as the ones you’d find at a home goods store, but I’m pretty proud of them. They make great air plant displays, or mini planters for succulents (just check to make sure they’re properly sealed).

You can find the tutorial for the Glass Terrarium below and the template is at the end of the post. And if you have any tips for cutting glass, please, please, please let me know!

You’ll need:

Glass sheet
Glass Cutter
Work gloves and eye goggles (safety first!)
Copper Foil
E6000 Super Glue
Sand Paper
Tape
Ruler (to facilitate cutting)

DIYs to Try // Wooden Beads

05.18.16

Who else remembers playing with wooden beads during their elementary school days? I do, and I’m so glad they are back in trend. Not only are wooden beads a relatively inexpensive material to purchase, but as proven by these handpicked projects, they are incredibly versatile. You can leave them unfinished for a natural and minimalistic look, or paint them to add color to your space!
