Miniature book pendant

Miniature book pendant - 25x35 mm : ) Paper cover decorated with lace and wooden heart. I plan on making more of those, with different designs and sizes. I wanted to make necklaces and phone straps out of them : ) They are really fun to do, I will for sure upload more after I will get them done <3

Storage chest makeover

Lately I really wanted to change a bit my way of storing my crafting resources and I found old (bought around 10 years ago) Ikea's mini chest of drawers I had in my room and it ended long ago in storage. Since Whole chest was pretty dirty from paints, glue etc. (as a kid I was really messy with such stuff) I decided to do makeover to renew it and give it a new life. I'm really satisfied with how it turned out lik. Unfortunately paper I used to cover main part of the chest was bit too thin and wrinkled a bit but trees cover it well enough : ) At first I wanted to give a little label for every drawer with its contains but I decided I prefer in unlabelled (in case I would simply change its' purpose).

 Decorated with wrapping paper, patterned scrapbook paper, brown paper, buttons, beads, coins and  bows

I stupidly didn't make 'before' photo (my chest looked much worse XD) but I took photo from here: http://www.myfloor.pl/jubileuszowa-kolekcja-mebli-z-okazji-50-lat-wspolpracy-ikea-z-polska,592,artykul.html

What is actually funny, it's not that easy to find photos of it since they are no longer available in IKEA shops. There are different versions of it, with different size/amount of drawers : )

This was really great fun and took me around 5-6 hours (together with all wood glue drying)

I hope you like it looks and I encourage to try doing it by yourself! It's really great and relaxing fun, and it's really pleasant to look on it <3

Favourite Decorations

Collection of my most favourite decorations I use (mostly for decoration book covers)
From top left corner:
 - My collection of buttons. I absolutely love to use them, in every shape, size, color or type. Just all buttons are my biggest love <3
 - Brads and rhinestones. I don't use them in some scary amount, just as some gentle finishing touch.
 - Ribbons and laces. I have whole box of them, packed together wrapped on small pieces of old boxes to keep them untangled and sorted : )
 - Coins. As a kid I collected lots of different coins, from different years countries etc. My father traveled a lot back then and gave me all little change he came back with. They are just perfect decoration, especially to give your work some little vintage touch.

I use lots of different decorations too, like stamps, die-cuts, tags, felt cut-outs etc. Those 4 are probably most favourite ones : )
Generally, for decorating you can use everything as long as it looks good : ) I love to experiment with some old not needed anymore things too <3

Cupcake pincushions

Cupcake pincushions based on the tutorial i found on Pinterest (http://www.madebymarzipan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cupcake-pincushion_01.png but I modified it to my own needs)
