Cloth Toy storage

Organising toys is a never-ending task. Putting each one back every single day just makes me want to scream sometimes. So here's a DIY that caught my eye. I found a couple more, so will be posting those as well in a bit!

Pearl collar neckpiece

Source: lc.pandahall.com
Collar neck pieces are in and there's always an easier more inexpensive way to get one. The store-bought are expensive!! Pearls are oh-so-classy. Check out this satin ribbon pearl neckpiece DIY as well.
There's a bit of work involved in this collar neck piece, but it's well worth the effort!

Ruffled cushion covers

Cushion covers add that right amount of character to any living room ad a chance to girly them up is a chance that shouldn't be missed! I love the ruffled trim and the way it contrasts with the blue silk... Simple, elegant and chic! Check out the tutorial.. easy peasy...

I have got to find myself more of these square piece designs, since all I can knit is a scarf! :). Can you believe this has been made from a square knitted piece? Check out the tutorial. Simple and easy!

Cloth Butterfly clip

You can never have enough clips or hair accessories. I like the simplicity of the folding and sewing. But I do think it would look equally beautiful with felt because if you can't find the right kind of heavy material for the clip so that it keeps its shape it could fold on itself.

Felt business card holder


So after a long day at work, it's therapeutic to sit down and make something while the Little One colours every single blank paper she can find. Simple is the key word here because you want to unwind not get worked up over something not turning out right... So here goes...

You'll need:

An A4 size felt sheet
scissors
embroidery thread and needle

The size of the holder totally depends on how big you want it to be and if you want to use it for holding things other than business cards.  I cut an 8-inch long piece keeping the width of the A4 size sheet.
Now fold that in half and cut.
Further cut one of the halves in two and trim down a bit and make an arch so it's easy to pull out cards.
Blanket stitch the two halves onto the full piece..
Done!






PS. I used polyester felt instead of wool felt and the holder won't stay shut. So I need to work on a clasp to do that. Pics when that happens...

DIY Pouf

Poufs are outrageously expensive here and aren't very pretty either. I either end up not liking the finish or the material or the price... Hah! Wasn't really sure how to go about making one till I saw this. Looks lovely and simple and easy -  like a "one afternoon" project. The right kind of material and fibre filling looks like tge only hard part. The step-by-step tutorial is quite easy to follow as well.. Take a look..
