Shabby chic: My un-boho half. The video (above) on Studio 5 is about creating your own shabby nest for home spring decor. Aqua hues & shabby colors all come together to turn items like chicken wire and ribbon into the cutest of table accessories.
Matchboxes and tins can get a shabby, imperfect update. These lovely designs (above & below) are by: tinkeredtreasures on Etsy.
This is a cute mason jar update idea by theglitzypear.blogspot.com: Upcycling vintage music sheets, a mason jar, and paper & fabric scraps.

Mason jars can be upcycled into so many things… including this lovely Mason Jar Sewing Kit from Anthropologie:
” DETAILS:
Plastic animal DIYs. The first one (up) is a pincushion made around a plastic lama; “Craft Tutorial; Plastic Animal Pin Cushion” tutorial found at Small Good Things, who also made the next animal craft thingy.
This lamb used to look like this (below) before it got a smart makeover, right here.
My favorite is this ring jewelry holder made from plastic cats, who received a nice touch up by Small Good Things.
They can be attached to push pins, too!
Beautiful, right?
Now here is another great idea: Repurposing plastic animals to create an all-heads animal jewelry holder… like this one.

Creative Ideas for DIY Magnets. When I saw this pic (up), I thought it was brilliant, it brings together two things I love: Magnets & Britain’s iconic bus & phone booth.
The one’s above are using tin containers as is, no decoupage, no embellishment… just stick a magnet at the back & voila!

Crafty Inspiration: A bigger picture gives a better picture, especially when it comes to capturing the details of fabric motifs by many handmade artists. Here are a few hand-painted, or at least indie-designed, fabric ideas for those who love to paint or screen-print on fabric.

Pom-pom cushion. This cushion is called Secret Garden, initially hand-painted by Bluebellgray before going to the factory. On their blog, it says:
“Bluebellgray is an exciting, young, Scottish textile design company specialising in the home interiors market set up by designer Fi Douglas in 2009. Influenced by a love of colour and all things floral, the designs are something unique and special, each design is painted by hand in the Bluebellgray studio before being printing onto natural cottons and linens using state of the art printing technology.”
Let’s not forget this gorgeous curtain. the little half-pink-half-white cushion is also so beautiful.
Fantastic designs, and beautiful prints
Pouffes with a pom-pom trim are very difficult to get over. The color of this ‘suzani’ style pouffe is so dreamy… works great for a shabby-chic house with an ethnic, bohemian edge. The pink pom-pom trimming is feminine, yet not overboard; it’s still an adult’s pouffe.

Hello there, I have recently joined the ranks of handmade jewelry makers in the Levant - having switched from a tedious career that took 14 years of my life - in PR, media and communication - into the great freedom of being my own boss. I'm a free-spirited 'boho' young woman who comes from a family of artists, writers, and poets.
