I’ve been creating eerily fun 3D portraits for years as über personalized gifts for ecstatic-to-receive-them-friends but for whatever reason never thought to make any of my own family…until now:
…obviously not exact likenesses but a hilarious addition to the living room wall nonetheless! With a touch of creativity & some bits ‘n’ bobs from around the house you’ll be hanging up your own in no time flat:
Once again my internet skulking has been rewarded with two more stupendous upcycled creations:
First up a gorgeously ingenious use of Oma’s doilies from Johanna of the beautifully photographed, bilingual blog intecoolochoberord. I have boxes full of crocheted lovelies just waiting to be transformed into some funky storage bowls!
After 6 years spent living in Japan this next work of genius is right up my alley: Gourmet Play Sushi – the brilliant brainchild of PC from MeiJo’s Joy! Headsmackingly easy to create from items lurking in your grocery rubbish. As soon our munchkin is big enough we’ll be rolling up some of our own! Kawaii! Oishii! Sugoi desu ne?
Remember those completely adorkable neck-tie wristlets from Pillows-a-la-Mode? Well, I finally found a few spare minutes to create some of my own…
with a variation of the groovy original tutorial I managed to make mine slightly larger & a bit thinner…read on for my version of p.a.l.m’s awesome necktie wristlet:
As my original Jolly Jumpsuit turned out so well and was so easy to make when I discovered a psychedelic super soft jersey blouse in my stash I just had to make another one for the munchkin to groove around in!
Whilst foraging through the storage room I came across 2 bamboo-fabric placemats that just begged to be turned into Krimskrams Körbe!
Hurra! Hurra! Come one, come all & watch how I transform an anythingbutsexy xxxxl nightie into a beautious boho blouse…abrakadabra zingzangzooie…let the show begin!
Did you know that 1 in 10 Europeans were conceived on an Ikea bed? Our little scamp is among that flat-packed-furniture-boot-knockin 10% so even though our bed had it’s fair share of battle scars & I we really wanted a funky new frame, I we decided to see what creative improvement I we could come up with because I’m so cheap for sentimental reasons:
As the old Ikea frame was still in excellent, no-squeaking, sturdy-enough-to-bounce-on condition I realized that all that was needed to add some more groove to our bedroom was a new head & foot board. Here’s the super simple penny pinching how-to:
Can you guess the quick and totally necessary hack I did during lunch?
Give up?
So…this is me right now:
Perhaps you may remember the Kreative Blogger Award I received from Stacy of The Re-Creations Project and the fun that followed:
If you’ve ever wondered what I lug around from place to place it’s your lucky day because it’s time to play everyone’s favourite game (& blog filler)…
