DIY : Vintage Bookmark

They don’t call it vintage for no reason. DIYs are lovely and having what it takes to do it yourself makes you the genius. So I came across this one few weeks back.  I haven’t tried my hands on this yet, but I hope to do so soon

Try your hands on this vintage bookmark, I bet you would want to show off every book you are reading just because of it. Better still, yours could be a retro or modern bookmark.

HERE IS HOW TO GET IT DONE.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Vintage buttons (Consider selecting a few that have a similar color palette, or mix it up and go for an eclectic look!)
• Paper clips

• Hot glue gun
• Felt
• Scissors

HOW TO :

Cut felt into squares slightly larger than the size of your button.

For buttons with a shank, thread the button onto the paper clip until it’s sitting at the top of the loop.  For buttons without a shank, simply place the paper clip where you’d like it to lay. Add a thin coat of hot glue to the back of the button + paperclip, and place your felt square on the glue. Hold until it sets.

Trim the felt from around the edges of the button, until the felt is slightly smaller than the size of the button – This will make it so the felt can’t be seen from the front.

Finally, use your button bookmarks to hold your place! In addition to books, these are also perfect for marking your page in notebooks, planners, and binders.

Looking forward to seeing your very own vintage bookmark.

Just for your BABY

Yellow, grey & Blue

Every expecting mum wants a lovely and comfortable environment for their baby when he/she finally arrives. Having a space (Nursery) dedicated to the baby is one great decision you will never regret taking.

Here are a few Nursery ideas that you can recreate for your baby.

N.B- One positive thing about nursery designs is that as a parent, you would not need to spend too much refurbishing or designing as your baby grows older. Many mothers will raise the question of “what happens as the child grows older? Will I have to spend to suit the age group as the child grows?”

But I will say this really depends on your initial design. Most of the nursery ideas I shared can be used for 2 -3 years, unless you are really keen on major refurbishing, every now and then. Another major thing that can affect the space is how well it is maintained.

With this in mind, the major change might be switching to a bed instead of a cot, repainting the walls and probably one or two arts here and there. After which the space can be used for a few more years. You wouldn’t break the bank for this.

There you have it! Design a nursery for your baby and he or she will thank you later.

Cheers.
