Silver vase

Maybe I read to many Buzzfeed DIY articles but I just needed to do something to a plain white vase. So I got a silver spray paint and two minutes later I had a lovely shiny unique vase.


I feel like spray-painting everything now :-)

Tiger pillow

Friends of mine moved and I needed to come up with a housewarming present.

First idea was a tiger rug. But the soft fabric was too soft and I didn't have anything sturdy and nonslippery to glue/sew onto it.

So I made a tiger pillow.


What else :-)

Thread spool rack

Say you have plenty of thread spools (semi)-(dis)-organised in a box. 

Say you're cleaning your office and somewhere under your desk you find an old paper rack.

You stare at it for a while and - eureka!


You just have to cut the wires to an appropriate height and hang the rack on the wall.


Happy.

Very happy.

Now I just have to make a dust cover.

Door stops

We've finally got interior doors.

And with the doors, one needs door stops.

I didn't want to drill holes into wood flooring or ceramic tiles, so I decided to make some "bean bags". Well, rice bags. 


 I first made  a cotton bag and filled it with rice.


And made another faux leather bag so that the bags would be easy to dust or wipe clean.


Repeat four times.
