Post image for DIY: Personalized Envelope Lining

Sending snail mail is so much fun, I miss the days when you send letters to your friends and you purchase a stamp and wait days for them to receive it. From now on I want to make an effort to make cute little cards, letters and envelopes to send to my friends and family because it does really make a difference. The other day I sent a birthday card and personalized the envelope and it turned out pretty sweet, so I thought I would share with you guys how to create your own personalized envelope lining

I love japan style. It's a nice idea for spring. Thanks!

I LOVE your blog. It's absolutely fantastic. Your blog makes me want to do things all the time. Just get creative with EVERYTHING. You should see how my room and style have developed after beginning to read your blog. Also you should really open a store in Gothenburg... Btw, I did this DIY but with gorgeous fabric in different sizes and colors and hanged it on a line over my bed. It looks so cosy and nice, thanks for the tip and keep up with the good work! // From a happy 16 year old girl in Sweden :))

Great pics Julia, very well done. Where did you get the Krazy glue, and citronella oil from? Going to give it go :) These would love great in my Garden in the summer. I've got some spray instead of the oil, that could work. Sarah Midland

A good way to clear out candle jars is to warm up the glass in the oven. The wax turns soft and poof! it's super easy to scoop out :) I always keep the jars from my candles and use them as storage or as a jar for a homemade candle!

I made one of these over the weekend using two wooden beads in place of ball caps and embroidery floss instead of colored cord. The floss just needs to be double stranded to make it thicker. I thought I'd mention this because I came home to find I only had brown leather cording, no caps and didn't feel like driving to the craft store.

Post image for DIY: Cement Planter For Spring

Springtime is the perfect time of year to start potting some plants to make an area become full bloom. For this week’s DIY we wanted to create our very own plant holder using a cement mix. It’s easy, quick and fun to do when you have a couple of hours to spare. The decorating of the pot afterwards is pretty great, too – you can personalize it any way you like!

Hi Bonnie, the cement was poured with the smaller container inside the larger one, surprisingly a layer of cement seeps under and then you put a light weight inside just to hold in place. don't use a heavy weight :)
