Sunflower brooch

How to make a sunflower brooch

Wouldn’t it be lovely to take home something you can use every day? With that in mind, I’m suggesting a sunflower brooch.

The idea is to stitch fabric together to create a brooch with a sunflower motif.

You can attach it to clothing or hats, or even use it on curtains—there are lots of ways to enjoy it.

Sunflowers are typically yellow, but the depth of the yellow can change the impression.

It might be nice to imagine the color of the place you’ll attach it and finish it in a shade that matches.

Christmas candle

[100-Yen Artificial Flowers] Fall/Winter and Christmas flower arrangements using flowers and nuts from Daiso. How to make a candle arrangement. DIY Candle Centerpiece

As a festive decoration to brighten up Christmas night, I recommend a candle arrangement that makes use of flower arranging—most of the items can be found at the dollar store.

Cut a piece of dry floral foam to fit the bottom of the candle, then glue it onto a slate plate with a hot glue gun.

Once the candle is secured, start the floral arrangement.

Decorate around the candle with flowers like hydrangeas and pine cones.

Adding star anise and eucalyptus pods can enhance the autumn-winter vibe.

Finally, attach some ball picks and finish with a ribbon, and you’re done.

Making cotton ball lights

Make your room cute! How to make cotton ball lights. How to make cotton balls.

The cotton balls that make everyone go, “How do they make those?” are real show-stoppers.

Let’s make charming cotton ball lights by placing lights inside cotton balls.

The trick to making the cotton balls is to wrap yarn, dampened with glue, around a small polka-dot balloon.

Once the glue dries, pop the balloon and only the cotton sphere remains.

String together a bunch of them, add lights, and you’re done.

You can even use the same method to make chocolate balls.

If you enjoy home economics/crafts, give that a try too!

Himmeli made with straws

How to Make a Himmeli Icosahedron ✤ A Gorgeous Nordic Mobile ✤ Looks Hard but Is Easy ✤

Do you know the object called Himmeli? It’s a traditional decoration from Finland in Northern Europe—like a mobile—made by connecting pieces of straw to form polyhedra and hanging them from the ceiling.

You often see them on stylish social media accounts.

This idea is about making a Himmeli using straws.

If you use paper straws in natural colors instead of plastic, it looks authentic.

Even if you make the same shape, switching to black straws gives it a stylish finish.

Popular motifs include the regular icosahedron and the hexagram.
