Katarina frågade hur jag gjort för att göra lampor av mina vikta blommor, dvs själva upphängningen. Jag gjorde såhär: Jag klippte ut avlånga rektanglar av tjock kartong. Limmade dem som ett öppet U på övre sidan av blomman, och som en fyrkant på undre sidan. Lätt som en plätt, och det syns inte när lamporna …
The living room needed sprucing up. I always feel like that this time of year, when Christmas is long gone and spring isn’t really here. We spend so much time indoors, whether we like to or not, and when we do that I need colors! These blue flowers were just simple ones, only in a …
When we came back from Vasa and our trip to the TV-show Strömsö, I didn’t completely unpack everything. Instead I arranged some of my DIY-jewelry around the room! This collar gets to hang on a candle stick and look pretty. And the old clock got a temporary makeover involving lots of lots of pearls and …
We needed more spring, so I made some for our kitchen. Boom! Instant spring! We can all feel how much more energized we become, just because the kitchen looks more cheerful. I made the garland out of two different tones yellow – I only had two packages of the more orange one, so I only …
I just start beading and beading and beading… And one day all of a sudden a necklace is done! This butterfly necklace is made out of an old bracelet, old glass beads that I’ve kept since I was little, and odd beads that I found rummaging around my drawers. I started by drawing the shape …
Welcome new readers! Since many probably are here to take a closer look at my DIY jewelry, I thought I’d take some new pictures of them and present them here on the blog. Featured above is the first necklace I made using upcycled materials and lots and lots of beading. I needed a necklace for …
I often get asked: ”How do you store all your materials for your DIY:s?” The short answer is: I store it a bit here and there! The longer answer: It depends on what I store, and what it looks like. Unfinished projects I tend to store around the room (i.e. my study), like this unfinished …
Sometimes when you start something, you have no idea where it will lead. Just that what you’re doing is something that’s fun for you, that you enjoy and that somehow makes the world a little bit of a better place. I started making my own jewelry some years ago, just because I wanted to create …
Today I’ll show you a bit of the latest Granny blanket in its natural habitat – my study! I gave it to Niklas and he uses it to warm himself while he is watching films with me, sitting in this old rocking chair. The rocking chair is more than a hundred years old, and very …
These are technically Christmas ornaments, but since they’re heart-shaped, I’m pretending they’re Valentine’s decorations for the moment! I drew a basic shape freehand on the felt heart. Then I embroidered using a yellow silk thread plus green thread for the base. I added glass beads for some extra sparkle. They’re looking rather pretty hanging from …
