Sweet Dreams Catcher

Image
Easy and super fun to make, with lovely results! <3 Make it in any shape you like and with any material you like just make sure you have so e tiny twinkle lights (i used VISVISS ikea - no they are not paying me to say this..unfortunately;p) and that the shape is big/small enough to at least go around the edges and down three times. For this example i used a placemat i found, but you can also create your own shape with iron cord (see twinkle post  for tips) or make it out of cut outs cardboard or lace! Anyway let's catch some sweet dreams...let's get started:) 1. Lovely shape Create your shape and make sure it can let enough light trough. Then attach the beginning and end of the light string where they need to be. Now you see exactly how much you have left for lighting the shape. Attach it (by bending or with tape or string or iron cord) around the shape and the hanging parts (will become a loop, so try to balance the lights). If you have leftover string, Great!, no...

From scarf to magical beachdress!

It's one of the easiest DIY projects whith amazing results! Don't be shy....just try!:)     Maybe you have some scarfs at home that you don't ware a lot, or you can go to the market and find the right size and pattern:) Either way, lets get started! 1.   FOLDING  Take a scarf that is broad enough to cover your width and fold the length double to see how long it is. If it's long enough you can use it! But not to worry if it's not long enough you can still make it into a caftan top!:) 2. CUTTING  Find the middle (where your neckline is going to be). Then make a tiny cut. Later decide the front and cut a v line as deep as you prefer:) Always best to start small and pay attention to cutting straight! This way you can keep trying it on and add more neckline when/where needed. 3. SEWING  Sew the neckline all around to hide the cut marks. And add any kind of hem you would prefer. (even jewelry! or another scarf! or lace!) Then put the ...
