White Roses/Λευκά Τριαντάφυλλα

Bouquetof rosestext

My fake white rose vase is a home decor project that I made recently. It is very simple and easy to make. Just get some coffee filters, pipe straws and painters’ tape, and green acrylic. The roses looked so real that my cat sniffed them! I was flattered 😉

As for the vase I hot glued beans on to the glass square vase and spray painted the beans with a  sliver metallic spray paint.

Το ψεύτικο μου βάζο απο λευκα λουλούδια είναι ένα άλλο διασκεδαστικό έργο DIY για τη  διακόσμηση του σπιτιού που έκανα πρόσφατα. Είναι πολύ απλό και εύκολο στην παρασκευή. Απλά πάρετε κάποια φίλτρα καφέ, καλαμάκια σωλήνα και την ταινία ελαιοχρωματιστές, και πράσινο ακρυλικό. Τα τριαντάφυλλα φαινόταν τόσο αληθινά που το γάτη μου τα μύρισε!

Όσο για το βάζο μου ζεστό κολλημένα τα φασόλια και τα σπρέι τους βαμμένα με μεταλλικό σπρέι.

Sometimes I like to get crafty, especially after I go on my Pinterest binge. I saw this idea and I had to try it. You only need a piece of wood, some string and nails. It’s a noisy piece of artwork to make, but I think that it’s worth it, and it looks great on my wall 😉

Happy Valentines day! A day that has evolved from a day that was exclusively for lovers to a day where everyone can be shown some love; as love comes in different forms not just romantic 😉

My Handmade Christmas Cards/Η Χειροποίητες Χριστουγεννιάτικες Kάρτες Μου

Last year I made some homemade Christmas cards that I sent out to friends. I didn’t post them on my blog-I forgot. This year I decided to make some new ones. I didn’t think that I would be very inspired but it just goes to show that if you just begin something then inspiration will come.  Two of them have trees on them that were made from bubble wrap which I then painted over with acrylics. The third card is a card collage made from bits of paper from a magazine that I used to make Christmas stockings. For the fourth card I recycled a gold paper wrap from chocolate and I used it to make the border.  I didn’t notice this until I put the card on the computer, but the candy cane has two Greek letter ‘X’ and ‘Ω’ the combination of the two letters makes the word ‘Ho’ !  Something that Santa says (and only Santa should say) , so I thought that was a crazy coincidence! Hmmm maybe this is a sign that Santa will bring me gifts this year…
