Mat Wall Painting

Looking at this you would think that it is a painting, well look again because it is not.

One day I wanted to get some paintings for my wall and I looked but could not find any that suit my taste or color scheme.

So this thought came to me and this is how I got my paintings.

I went to the store and look for some mats that would make the perfect painting and that will go back with my color 

scheme.

I found two of the same and I came home and hang them on my wall, when my friend visit they aalways like the look and had no clue that they were mats until I told them they were :)

So you see how easy DIY can be done :)

Design Candles

These are plain candles that I had laying around and I just decided to add a spark to them :) 

And it was no trouble at all as I it took was some ribbon of my preference , glue and some beads that I had laying around.

Beads , sequins and other things fall off your cothing sometimes and I am a person that just pick them up and put them away for another day :))

Or you can go to a fabric store and purchase some new ones of your choice, just decide on a design and go all the way with it :) 

You can be artistic and do some designs of your choice that I know will really make your candle stand out.

Happy creating everyone.

Wooden Curtain Rods

This is such an easy DIY, I know that some individuals do not like the metal or other styles of curtain rods and some individuals just like to keep it simply as they also try not to spend so much money .

These wooden rods can be found at any hardware store and they are sold in size.

So all you have to do is measure your windows for the right measurement.

Wall brackets will also be needed and screws or nails, a drill or hammer and a measuring tape.

One thing I can also mention is that with these wooden rods you can go to the extreme and paint them whatever color you want to.

I decided to keep my natural maybe later on iI will get them pickle that I know will look really nice.  :)

Making Throw Cushions.

Making throw cushions is so easy to do a small child can even do it with supervision of course.

Making throw cushions you will need...

Fabric

Scissors

Buttons

Thread

Needle

Sewing machine

Tape measure

Poly fill

Common Pins

All you need to do is to determine the size of the throw cushion that you want to make,and you can get the fabric of your preference of design and about half yard should do for two throw cushion and one yard of material will give you four cushions about 16" × 16" .

Whatever size you decide on you will cut out the same size but with an inch over to make room for stitching.

You will need to cut a back and front or you can easily fold the material in half and cut the two pieces one time or fold the mmaterial in two to get the four throws.

I bought a yard of material and that gave me four throw cushions at 16"×16" .

Place fabric on the wrong size measure the fabric for the size of the throw cushions.

You can pin the pieces together on the wrong side to make it easy for stitching and to get it cut correctly, cut along the pinned areas of the fabric that you measured out.

If you don't have a sewing machine you can stitch it by hand all the around the pinned area just leaving about 7" open for the filling.

When you finished stitched the fabric take out the pins and turn the throw inside out making leaving the stitched areas inside and the right side of the material in view.

Fill the throw with as much poly fill as it can hold as you want a nice full bounchy through that is really filled.

When you have accomplished the task stitch up the opening with an inside stitch.

You can either leave your throw like that or put a button in the middle, me I like to see throws with buttons it somehow give them a finished look.

So if you don't have an upholstery needle you can use a very big sewing needle.

Hold the throw cushion and insert the needle with the button threaded through in the middle of the throw cushion.

You will be able to get the sewing needle through by just placing pressure on the throw and pressing in the fabric on the filling to get space.

When you have thread the bubutton on the other side thread anotjer button and thread it back to the first button pull in both buttons to get the inverted look.

You can repeat the procedure until you have a strong threading of both buttons then you can knot off the thread and cut.

Now look at your throw cushion and see what you just made as easy as AB C. :)
