A beaded heart I made, part of a recent embroidery exhibition. A Beaded Heart The reason for this was a heart I sewed many years ago, when I wanted to do a whole series of stuffed embroidered hearts, but never got around to more than one – and that one I gave away (the pink […]

Summer Craft Idea: Play with Perler Beads (hama be...
Lovely June is here, and it’s time to do some summer crafting. The definition of summer craft is loosely: anything that feels light, airy, fun, colorful and can be done outdoors on the balcony or in the garden, at the summer house or maybe even in the car. Or simply anything you want to work […]

DIY Spray Paint Crazy
I love DIY Spray Paint projects a lot, mostly because it is so much fun to personalize things with color. It’s my favorite repurposing thing to do with thrift finds! Plus it’s the quickest way to totally transform the look of something, which is always fun. These days you can find so many different hues […]
Eye Candy | Seed Beads
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. Buddha I have this Pink box with lots of compartments. It’s filled with different colored seed beads, and some sparkly sequins too… Each compartment is like jewel with all […]

Green nail polish and super quick, that is my friend Madde. It’s her swift hands you see on the photos above. I don’t know anybody who crafts with such fury! Today she wrote a post about the pink workshop I held when we were in Gotland last week.. I think the word is spreading all […]

You make fabric beads the same way you make rolled paper beads, but I prefer fabric. I haven’t had any success when I tried making paper beads (yet). It’s easier to roll the fabric, and the beads get chunkier faster. Here is a quick tutorial to show you how easy and fun this is! 1. […]
Recycled paper beads in a Necklace
I have made paper beads with a recycled newspaper and some glue mixed in. This is a easy fun project that you can do without any preparation. Just put some stripes of newspaper in a pot of water and wait until the newspaper starts to dissolve. Then mix in the glue and start rolling beads! […]
Bookbinding at Home
Before I learned how to properly bind a book I wasn’t brave enough to even try bookbinding at home. But as I learned more about bookbinding I also found confidence in making books. I found that it is not very difficult or scary, though mine still come out a bit bent, crooked and “special”, hehe. […]
When beads gets another meaning
I was never a jewelry kind of girl (before), so that is perhaps why I’ve never sat down to create that kind of stuff to wear. It was just not interesting to me, because I didn’t need any of that. Earrings makes my ears itch and I’m not good at matching a necklace with what […]
What fits into a matchbox?
I signed up for the Matchbox Swap, asking myself; – What fits into a matchbox? – Nothing really I guess, it is so small… So I couldn’t resist the Matchbox Swap, I had to sign up and join, just to see what I could give away that would fit inside a small sized matchbox. I […]
A couple of fabric bracelets
I’ve made a couple of bracelets using Mollychickens Bracelet tutorial: Straight from the iHanna factory: I set up a little studio on my balcony where my cat and I spend a lot of time when the sun is out. I bought a “horse quilt” (that is what I call it because it is so heavy) […]
