DIY: Animal Silhouettes

I started this project late last year but I only just got them hung up in the last few weeks and thought I would share this quick DIY with you.


Supplies:

• Burlap 'canvas'
• Black permanent marker
• Black paint
• Paint brush
• Animal silhouettes (I used these: rabbit, fox and owl)
• Printer

Instructions: 

1. Print off your animal silhouettes, cut them out and lay them onto your 'canvas' 

2. Trace around the image with your black marker

3. Paint the inside of the image black - I used a small paint brush around the edges so as not to go over the lines and a bigger one in the middle to speed up the process.

And thats it! Here's some pictures of where they are hanging now, I think they turned out pretty good. 

I can think of lots more animals and designs you could use to make something similar, what design would you use?

Home Inspiration: Craft Storage

At the moment I'm living in a little rental house I like to refer to as 'the shoebox' this is not a loving term so much as a voicing of my frustration at the fact I can barely fit all my things in the place and end up falling over anything and everything (yes, I am also clumsy but this place is crowded, I promise!) While I have been trying to pare down the amount of stuff I have crammed into this place I'm also dreaming of the, hopefully, not to distant future when I get to move out of this little shoebox and into a much larger space! One of the main things I'm dreaming of is being able to have craft room again so I have been madly scouring Pinterest for all the clever ideas on craft storage so I can transform one of the room in our hopefully-soon-to-be-new-house into a crafting haven.

Clockwise from top left:

2. Gallery wall displaying craft supplies
3. A cluttered but organised desk
4. Shelving unit used to store and display scrapbooking paper
5. Baskets to hide a jumble of supplies
6. A colourful and inspiring notice board
7. Glitter stored in vintage salt and pepper shakers
