I have wanted vintage fabric covered boxes forever! When I started decorating my creative studio, it was finally time to get some. I looked into buying authentic boxes and they were $80 and up! Well that wasn’t going to work for me, because I wanted a big stack of them! There was nothing left to do but make my own. Today I am going to share how to make fabric covered storage boxes, vintage style!

Let me start by saying just how much I love these bells! They have the perfect vintage feel and have become the inspiration for my Christmas decor next year. The wheels are turning! I got the idea for these when I purchased some spun cotton bell ornaments. I wanted to continue that look with a larger bell. After some brainstorming, I came up with these. So today I am going to show you how to make vintage inspired paper mache bells for your Christmas decor.
…With fall quickly approaching, I am once again looking for ways to incorporate dried florals into my decor. Today, I am making a wreath. This homemade wreath is so simple, and I used florals dried from my own yard! Below, I will show you how to make a dried floral wreath.
Today I am sharing my carefree, casual way of drying flowers. I don’t have a flower garden and I’m not fussy about how I dry the flowers, but they are almost always beautiful. I love using dried flowers in my decor year round, but I especially love drying flowers for fall decor. It’s surprising what you can find in the yard for drying, if you just take the time to look around.
I made this dried flower hanging last year. You can see how I did it here. It was made with a few grocery store flowers, but most of it is from bits and pieces I found in my yard. This swag was perfect to use because I don’t have things with long stems, but the shorter bunches worked great. The flowers just dried on the hanging.
Ruffles! I love them! Making them is another story. I use to consider making ruffles nothing short of torture. Then one day, I discovered the secret to stress free ruffle making. Today I am going to share that secret with you and show you the easiest way to sew a ruffle.
Today I am going to show you how to make a ruffled slipcover for an outdoor sofa. First will be the ruffled seat cover, and second will be the ruffled back cover.
No one is ever more surprised at how one of my projects turns out than I am. It is a twisty, turny road to get to the finish line. Rarely do I ever finish a project the way I started out to do it. Those that know me well will not be surprised by this. I have trouble making up my mind, and then when I do, I like to change it.
…As the summer comes to an end, it is time to harvest the last of the summer blooms. I love to dry flowers, and I know many of you hang and dry herbs. I love the look this natural dried flower/herb hanging brings to a space, pretty and practical.
