Earring Trinket Box

I was browsing through a store looking for ways to store my bountiful number of earrings when I saw a small wooden box. I thought, 'maybe I can make it,' and this is how it got on this post. :) 


You can leave space on the side for necklaces or hairpins

DIY Felt DONUT!

Do any of you like donuts? Umm, I do!
This is a fun room accent for a coffee
table/nightstand on a tray because it
does not perish, and you could
customize it easily. Lets make one!



Stuff You Need:
Felt
Circles
Marker
Scissors
Thread 
Batting (not in picture)


Cut out 2 circles with a hole in the middle & the icing
 Start sewing a simple edge stich 


 Leave an opening for stuffing the batting!
 Stuff the batting in and close the ring with a simple edge stitch yet again.


 Sew on the icing with a simple edge stitch. Add all the colorful sprinkles with thread sewed in lines.
This could be easily used as a pincushion if you do a lot of DIY's with fabric!

I love this super cool little accents in my room, adds color and a bit of cuteness!

Bookmarks!

Hi There!
These bookmarks are the cutest accessories for your and to mark your pages!
All of these are made out of things you already have at home! Let's get crafting!

Materials:

                                                                             Paper
Glue

Scissors

Lace
Hole Punch
Paper clips
Office clips  (Is that what they're called? :) )




Step #1

Fold a piece of paper in half, and on the side where the arrow is, put a line of glue and press the sides together

Step #2

Cut the top corner rounded or use a corner punch
 and you are done! The next bookmark uses a similar method:




Step#1

Instead of cutting diagonally, cut in the shape of a slanted square, like in this picture

Step #2

Glue on the accessories like ears, nose, and eyes



It's so cute how the ears stick out of the book! Let's try some other bookmarks:


Here is one that anyone can do: just glue a piece of paper to a paper clip and you are done!


Wasn't that really easy with such a cool result?


Glue a piece of lace to a strip of paper and you instantly have a shabby chic bookmark!


Tie a stretchy ribbon to another strip of paper to make a page keeper for you:)

I hope you enjoyed these ideas and recreate them for yourselves adding your twist on them!
