Interior Inspiration | Pallets

Things are not always....

....as they seem

I love it when you use an item for something that it wasn't originally designed for. Pallets are the perfect example of this and have been all over the place recently....well on Pinterest....being used for so many different thing....some of which I have shown here. People are so clever and I am so great full for their cleverness so that I can coo and dream over their ideas.

Picking up some of these isn't that easy' I have a friend who works in the building trade who is able to get me some....which also means what ever you are creating is not only rustic and homemade but cheap cheap cheap.....always a winner. The only thing you will need is patients and maybe a little help

I LOVE the idea and have always wanted to make my own garden furniture out of pallets....just need to get a garden first!!

Pom Pom

The perfect Easter decoration......

So yesterday I featured some crafty-ness that I had been up to the last week and one of those things was the tissue paper Pom poms. I first saw these on Pinterest and like everything that I live on Pinterest pinned it.....but then i almost forgot about it.....until I was asked if I could make use of some tissue paper that someone didn't want. I instantly remembered these.

They are fairly easy to make.....you just can't be heavy handed otherwise you end up with a ball of shredded tissue paper......not so pretty.

This is the link from the pin i pinned.......but I'm sure if you search you could also find others. Have a go and decorate you home for Easter.
