I decided on a yarn wrapped picture frame. This isn’t my first attempt at yarn wrapping – check out my ombre letters to see that. For this project though, I didn’t even need to shop! I had an old frame in the basement and some yarn scrapes left from another project. The beauty is that’s really all you need. I added beads to mine, but that is totally optional. This is a great way to add texture to your home in such a creative way. This one is easy, but it will take a bit of time so pop on a movie and let’s get started!

What you’ll need:

• An old photo frame
• Yarn
• Glue gun and sticks
• Beads (optional)

Start by tying the yarn around one side of the frame and secure with a knot. Don’t worry if it’s not super tight, you can fix that in the end by wrapping over the first strand. Continue wrapping the yarn all around the frame. I left the corners blank, I liked the look (and TBH its easier).

Tie another knot in the back of the frame once you’re done. Try to make this knot nice and tight, but if needed you can secure with a spot of hot glue.

If you’re going to add beads, look at where you want to place them and remember to thread them onto the yarn in the right spots.

When putting the glass and backing back on, you’ll need to glue it in place since we’re covered up the lip of the frame. Make sure you’re happy with the photo you’ve chosen cause you won’t be able to change it once you’ve secured the backing. All done! Happy crafting!

There’s a couple of key things to keep in mind – only use natural fabrics as they take the dye waaaay better than man-made fibers, and if you want a bold pattern ignore most tutorials and dip dry fabric into the dye. In my first attempt I tried to dye a wet tea towel but the water soaked up the dye and I ended up with a completely orange tea towel.

I couldn’t be happier with my second attempt though! I LOVE the bright bold colour and unique patterns that emerged. Another great thing about this technique is that no two towels will ever look the same, you get a new pattern every time. They would definitely make great gifts (Mother’s Day right around the corner…) and since you can do them in any colour under the sun, you can easily personalize them to anyone’s kitchen. This is a DIY I will encourage anyone to try – please share your projects with us, we’d love to see it!

What you’ll need:

• Plain white cotton tea towels
• Fabric dye
• Gloves
• Elastic bands
• Bucket

Fold your tea towels. For the first towel, I folded it in a wide accordion (about 4”), then starting at the bottom, fold up into a triangle. Continue making triangles until the entire towel is folded. Don’t worry if the triangle isn’t perfect! Secure with elastics (or in my case twine – I forgot to pick up elastics)

For the second towel, I folded it in a slimmer accordion (about 2”) and left it in a long rope shape. Secure with elastics.

Dip the towels one at a time into the dye (wearing gloves). Dip one side and then flip and dip the other side. I held the towels in the dye for about a minute or so. Don’t fully submerge the towel – dip it in and let the dye run through the folds.

Let the towels sit folded for about 10 mins and then remove the elastics. Spread them out on a drop cloth or clothes line to dry and you’re done!

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.

The post Faux Marble Deer Head – Transformed appeared first on And Then Home.

There are two designs here, mostly because I started one and then changed my mind about it. That’s okay though, half the fun of DIY is trail and error!

What you’ll need:

• A cheap trash can
• Sisal rope
• Fabric
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Stencil (optional)
• Paint (optional)
• Pouncer or makeup sponge (optional)

Use the hot glue to make a line down the can to attach the fabric. Continue around the whole can is covered.

Attach the sisal rope around the bottom of the can, wrapping it around and around. Make sure you start and end on the same side of the can so the end bits are hidden in the back.

Repeat the same thing at the top of the can. This would be the end of this design…except I didn’t love it. I liked it, but I didn’t love it. I didn’t think it would really work in the space. So, I kept going…

And covered the patterned fabric up with some navy fabric.

And then stencilled on an anchor.

This was the version that I decided to use is our bathroom. I’m happy with how it looks, better than the colourful circles! Try our Upgraded Dollar Store Mosaic Vase for more up-cycling crafting.

What You’ll Need:

• Plain ceramic teacups
• Masking tape
• Ceramic paint
• Paintbrushes

Cover the top half of the cup with masking tape. Pick up some masking tape online for $3.00!

Paint the un-taped part of the cup. Let this dry and apply a second coat. You can find high-quality ceramic paints here.

Dip an old toothbrush into dark blue paint. Using your thumb, splatter paint on top of the painted portion of the cup. If your looking for mugs – check out these, perfect for this project.

Use a thin paintbrush to add two thin criss crossing lines around the top of the cup.

Make your favourite hot beverage, snuggle up on the couch with a great book and hygge away!

Trendy Colour Block Fall Pitcher

What You’ll Need:

• Plain pitcher
• Navy and gold multi-surface paint
• Paint brush
• Sealer
• Masking tape

Tape off a large triangle on the bottom half of the pitcher. Be sure to press the edges of the tape down during this craft to make a tight seal.

Fill in the triangle with the navy paint. This will most likely need more than one coat, make sure to let the paint dry completely between layers.

Once the paint is dry, remove the tape from around the blue triangle. Add some more tape to form a reverse triangle pointing down from the top of the pitcher. This triangle will be a line, as opposed to being filled in, so add a second line of tape to create a channel.

Fill in the line with gold paint, making sure the paint dries completely between coats.

Finally, finish with a food safe sealer and serve those drinks in style.

We hope you liked this trendy colour block fall pitcher!  Looking for more home decor ideas?  Certainly check out these poolside Beach Decor – DIY Flip Flop Hangers or this Macrame Wall Hanger for Beginners.
