spent the last few days decorating these baskets. I like how they turned out but it took soooooo much longer than I expected; I thought I could finish all of them in one sitting (wrong!! 🙅🏻) still got a third one to do haha. might chip away at it over dinner tonight 🍒

I have a bunch of these old-as-hell plant stands from daiso. they’re rusted in a bunch of places and the feet leave rust stains on my patio.

cbb trying to fix them up properly so I’m covering the feet with twine. love me a monotonous task I can do while pacing and listening to music.

a little project i worked on last month. tiny shelf for displaying instant coffee capsules.

details:

made from an IKEA VÄSTANHED 20cm x 25cm frame. the "shelves" are the inner mount snapped apart, the sides shaved down with a boxcutter to fit. they're held up mostly by tension, but i added adhesive silicone dots as a back up.

background is gift wrap paper wrapped around the perspex that came with the frame.

only took about an hour to do 🥰

spent all saturday evening installing wheels on my drop-leaf dining table.

I love that this table can fold away but it’s sooooo heavy. every time I need to move it I have to use all my body weight to shift it. I’ve been trying to figure out if it was possible to put wheels on it for ages.

the middle four legs were easy because they’re wood but the fold out support legs are metal and narrower than the wood legs?? so… four of the wheels fit perfectly, and the other two wheels are only half-installed lol

ngl I dunno if they’re gonna stay in and I dunno if they’ll be able to handle the weight if I have my family over 💀

but! I’m pleased with it so far. reeeeal nice being able to roll the table closer!!! and the slight height increase is a massive bonus.

Update to this: I did end up making crepe paper flowers! Started Sunday night and went til yesterday/Monday night.

Didn’t have the patience or tools—I don’t have a stapler yet 😭—to follow a tutorial step by step so I mostly winged it. The limited amount I know about crepe flowers is from Alina Blossom (@.GiantFlowers) on YouTube 🌸

Whenever I learn to do a new thing I know the first few ones are gonna suck a bit lol so I made this medium orange one as a test run.

((This bulb doesn’t actually work in this lamp so if I want to use it as an actual light I’ll need to swap it out.))

Also started a large blue flower before I did the yellow one, which has lots of mistakes. I’m gonna see if I can fix it up at a later point. I wanna make some pink ones for my kitchen pendant lights first.
