DIY Chair Cushion...

Here's a quick way to make a small cushion 

- perfect for a little back support while working at the computer.

Upcycle a pillowcase for the backing.

Cut to desired size.

Mine is rectangle.

Cover front with desired fabric using machine stitch.

Stuff it with pillow foam and stitch shut.

When not in use as a back support, 

this cushion can dress up the vintage rattan stool in the office.
Only a few more things to do 
and then you will see the office makeover... 
coming soon - I promise!

DIY Chalkboard Labels...

Right now I'm LOVING anything chalkboard...

so I thought I'd whip up some chalkboard labels for the home office makeover.

Label templates are freely available on the Net.

These cute heart shaped labels from;

http://www.homemadegiftguru.com/support-files/heart-template-free-gift-tags-3.pdf

and these
funky shaped ones were sourced from a simple Google Search for 'Free Printable Shapes'.

Print out the labels,
cut out,
and use as a stencil on heavy cardboard.

Cut the cardboard shapes out...

Paint with chalkboard paint.

Leave dry.

 When dry, punch holes for twine to hang.

Chalk the tags with words.... 

 Hang

Or glue to attach.
Yes - I'm definitely loving these chalkboard labels!

DIY Shabby Chic Valentine Heart...

Dried hydrangea flowers and white paper doilies 

were the inspiration 

for this pretty

Shabby Chic Valentine Heart....

To make one you will need:

Cardboard
Glue & Hot glue gun

Dried hydrangeas

Ribbon

and some embellishments of your choice.

.-.

Cut out a heart template,

Stencil shape on to a piece of sturdy cardboard.

Enlarge the shape if necessary.

 Glue the paper doilies onto the cardboard heart.

You will need to trim them to fit...

Here's the cardboard heart with the doilies glued on. 

Now you're ready to glue on the hydrangeas...

I love hydrangeas...fresh or dried.

They bring back memories of my Grandmothers Garden.

 Place as desired on the heart, 

Then hot glue into place.

 Attach a ribbon hanger.

 And some embellishments of your choice.

I used a lovely chalkboard heart...

 Onto which I penned the word,

which is the whole purpose of Valentines Day...

LOVE!
