Give your Home a Personal Touch with Home Accessories
Bored and tired of the monotonous look in your home? Can’t think of what to do to freshen up your living space? Don’t worry, this article will give you some helpful tips on how to use accessories to give your home a more personal touch. It won’t take much time, or cost much money, and it’s easy to do! Just follow the instructions and get ready for a nice, warm, and welcoming atmosphere in your living space.
Yo-Yo Flowers
If you are one of those people who have extra patches lying around in the house, and you don’t want to throw them away, then you can turn them into interesting, decorative flowers.
You will need small pieces of fabric (leftover patches will do), buttons (small and big), scissors, thread, and a needle. If you don’t have any patches available, you can use some old clothing.
Cut the fabric into circles of any desired dimensions. Keep in mind that the flower will be twice as small as the circle you make. You can use a pattern to help you get the perfect circle, but it’s not necessary. Turn the circle face down, take the needle and make the primary incision about 0.5 centimeters from the edge of the circle.
Continue going up and down with the incisions. Continue going around the edge until you get to the primary incision. Then, tighten the thread and crumple the inside circle.
Once you’re done with that, flatten the fabric and add a big button, followed by a smaller one. Use the same thread that you were using to tighten the flower. Once you fasten the button, make a knot on the back of the flower so that the button doesn’t fall off, and cut out the rest. Your yo-yo flower is done!
Balloon Vase
If you have some flowers that you don’t want to throw away, here is how you can use them to make an interesting modern vase.
You will need glass cups, colored balloons, scissors and of course, some nice flowers.
Cut out the top of the balloon so you can strap it on the glass more easily. Then start putting the bottom of the glass into the balloon until you reach the top. After that, take the remaining piece of the balloon from the top and stuff it inside the glass to make a hole.
Put the flower inside the hole and add water if you wish your plant to live a long and happy life. That was easy, wasn’t it? You can make as much as you want and place them around the house to get the best effect.
Shaggy Rug
Shaggy rugs are great for creating that warm, personal effect in your living space. You can put them in any room you want, even in kitchens and bathrooms. The traditional flat rugs are a thing of the past, they just make the room look monotonous and cold.
With shaggy rugs you can’t go wrong, they come in all shapes and sizes but the best ones are small and round. If you don’t have one then wait no more, get down to your local retailer and browse until you find the perfect one.
