It used to hang in our guest room before we redecorated but I knew I would find another use for it one day and by covering the bottom with a floral paper, I turned it into a cute little single serve coffee tray. Certainly perfect for indulging yourself in the morning, in bed or on the porch and the best part is this project takes 10 minutes! Cut, glue, dry and done and then have a seat and indulge yourself with a little me time, then enjoy!

What you’ll need:

• A small wooden tray or plaque
• Scrapbook paper
• Modge Podge and foam brush
• Scissors

Cut a square of paper to fit inside your tray.

Use Modge Podge to glue the paper in place and let it dry, then add a layer of glue on top of the paper to seal it.

Once it’s dry, enjoy your coffee tray and happy crafting!

Shabby Chic Flowers: If your home has a comfortable, casual feel with some vintage accessories, pastels, lace tablecloths and floral fabrics, then you likely fall into the shabby chic category.  Use fresh flowers with pale pinks and washed greens.  You can place them in clear jars or hand painted vases.  Consider using vintage pale coloured floral prints on throw pillows and definitely add some antiques!

Besides being super useful, re-purposed items can become even better than they were before. And being environmentally friendly doesn’t hurt either.

To help inspire you and get you started, we’ve up-cycled one of our Christmas projects. We originally made this faux marble deer head back in November and the first step here is to make it too – that is if you haven’t done it already! Find the instructions here.

Finished? Great! Onto the next steps for a brand new faux deer head …

All you’ll need for this transformation is a glue gun and an assortment of flowers.

Decide on your layout and then start gluing the flowers into place.

And that’s all it takes! With the flowers, this newly flowered deer head is ideal for bedrooms and nurseries but could really fit in anywhere.

One of the most endearing sights in a wedding procession is when a flower girl scatters her petals down the aisle. With a terrarium, not only can you arrange tiny succulents inside, you can also add flower petals to be sprinkled before the bride. Sadly, I don’t know anyone getting married in the next little while (sad because I love weddings!) so our little niece Tali sweetly stood in as our flower girl.

What You’ll Need:

• A hanging terrarium glass
• Lace or ribbon
• Succulents
• Floral filler – pearls, beads, crystals (or soil for real succulents)
• E600 or other strong glue
• Flower petals

Add a piece of lace or ribbon for the flower girl to hold the terrarium with. This is a fantastic place to add your wedding colours into the design.

Add your floral filler into the terrarium and use some glue to hold everything in place.

Arrange your succulents in the terrarium and glue into place. When the petals are added for the flower girl to scatter, everything else should be glued in so that only the petals end up on the floor.

On the big day, add the petals to the ball for the flower girl to scatter down the aisle.

Whether its for your big day or someone you care about, we hope this project helps to create beautiful memories. For more wedding ideas check out Christine’s Top Eleven Wedding Trends of 2017

What You’ll Need:

• Fabric scraps cut into squares
• Flower template – get it here 
• Scissors
• Needle and thread 

Step One:

Trace the template onto card stock and cut it out.

Step Two:

Place the template onto a fabric square and fold both the fabric and the template in half.

Fold the fabric and template in half again so you are folding the number 2 sides against each other.

Fold the fabric and template one more time so that the number 1 sides are facing out.

Cut the excess fabric off the top of the petal, following the template curve. Only cut the top of the petal, don’t cut the fold end off.

Step Three:

Pull the needle and thread through the folds at the bottom of the petal.

Cut at least 15 more flower petals (you can go up to 25) and thread the all the petals onto the thread.

When you have all your petals threaded, push them together and tie the two ends of the thread together to complete your flower.

The post How to Make a Fabric Flower with Free Template appeared first on And Then Home.

What You’ll Need:

• A 12” x 12” canvas
• Acrylic paint in pale yellow, dark yellow and teal
• Two 1-2” paint brushes
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• A variety of pink paper flowers
• A variety plastic leaf stems
• A large pink silk flower
• A knife
• Scissors

Start by painting the entire canvas in a pale-yellow colour. Add a little bit of water to the paint to give a watercolour translucent look to the base layer. Let dry.

Take the dark yellow paint and dab it onto the canvas making spots of colour instead of painting it on. Take another brush and with a little bit of water spread the paint around but don’t mix it in completely. This will create a watercolour marble effect. Let this layer dry too.

Use the teal paint to create the letters. Remember to leave enough space for the flower to make the ‘O’. The letters should be about 4” tall and wide, but don’t worry about making them perfect, they should be perfectly imperfect.

Decide where you want the flower O to be and use a sharp knife to cut a small hole for the flower stem to fit into so that the flower can lay flat. Use some hot glue to secure the flower in place.

Add a couple of stems to the edge of the flower.

Glue some stems and paper flowers onto the letters. You may have to trim some of the leaves off the stems so that they will lay flat.
