Glass bottle decoration with yarn

Glass bottles can be a key decoration element to any room. They usually end up spray painted, holding flowers, but now let's see something different (and funnier).


To decorate a glass bottle like this you'll need:

- a glass bottle
- thread, yarn (I used both)
- glue
- patience!

And then it's as easy as it seems.
Add a little glue to the bottle (in small areas, so you have time to roll the yarn before it gets dry)

Release your imagination and your hands.
And Art it Yourself!!

Origami center piece tsuru

We've made a bunch of those to use as a center piece. It has brought a special and vibrant touch to the room and each guest could pick one to ke home at the end of the party.

The tsuru (crane) is one of the most popular origami and you make it following the diagram instructions at Origami Club

Custom clock decor

A personalized clock is our good idea to cheap decor.
Here's the tutorial to DIY:

1. choose any clock

2. pop off the plastic cover and trace around it to measure your print area

3. Remove the spindle mechanism and don't forget to mark the center of the clock so you can cut out a small hole to the spindle mechanism

4. print whatever you want! (I've traced those Japanese characters in Adobe Illustrator)

5. make sure the numbers are lined up with their right positions on the clock and glue it carefully.

6. Project done!

So fast and so easy.

Go on, and Art it Yourself!   :)


Supplies:

You'll need 12 rings to make one flower. Glue them together as in the picture below.

Join 6 flowers to make the full wreath. Pay attention to glue the right petals, just like shown in the picture. This is in order to make a perfect circle and not any other shape! :)

Use paper clips to hold the petals together until they were completely glued.

Now, it's all about having fun. Paint it, add ornaments, glitter, and it's done!
It's just better, when it's made by you ;)
