Favorite Things ~ New Craft Ideas


Today is "A Few of My Favorite Things" over at Laurie's place.

One of my favorite things to do is browse through craft and decorating idea mags. I even liked to browse through them online. And since it started pouring rain tonight, I thought I would grab a cup of tea and read some of my favorite sites. Here are a few super simple ideas I ran across.

These all come from Better Homes and Gardens.

Flower Buckets



Fabric yo-yo eggs



Use a pretty brooch and ribbon as a tie back



This is one I like to do on a fairly regular basis....beaded bracelets as napkin rings



Photo Transfer lampshade



Heritage Photo Display





A fabric ribbon bed skirt



Decorative Orbs



Bath Towel Table cloth (3 bath towels sewn together with some added rick rack).



Frame free from Mother Nature



Embellish some cheap towels or napkins



Embroidered stationary



Burlap Flatware Holders

    Great ideas- I've actually done the burlap flatware holder idea and have used towels for summer tablecloths- great for cookouts! Love the stationary!

    Not too long ago I was in the cutest little shop (originally someone's cottage home) and the curtains were all just tons of ribbon streamers hanging down. That day they had the windows open and a gentle breeze was blowing and the ribbon streamers were just fluttering....so sweet. that bed you showed reminded me of that. Have a super great week.

    A lot of cute ideas - thanks for sharing them with us.
    Thanks for stopping by. I would have thought your area of the country would at lease have daffodils and iris by now.
