I was flipping through the book and spotted this page that features buttons as a suggestion for embellishments for gift wrap.

I happen to have a giant bag of these pin back promo buttons and I thought they would make a great recycled surface toDecoDen bling up.

Using theDecoDen Bling to cover the buttons and then place the objects in starting with the largest and working  my way down to the tiny beads to fill in the spaces worked like a charm! After they were dry I slipped a ribbon under the pin back and wrapped the gift boxes.

    I knit a lot and then make recycled felted wool flowers to go on the hats or in you hair, as a pin or as a bow for a special gift. Because they are small I can go alittle crazy with the bling bling…it really brings a smile to my face when someone u would never guess would pick out a real dazzler does and just loves it..
    Enjoy each day.. Elaine

    Does it count if my daughter was the last to bling (she’s 4)? I gave her a plain box and she painted it and then glued (with a little assistance) all sorts of buttons and blings to make her treasure box.

Transforming an IKEA Shelf into a Rustic Farmhouse Beauty

Looking to add some rustic charm to your space without breaking the bank? Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has shared a brilliant DIY hack that turns a standard IKEA storage shelf into a stunning farmhouse-style piece.

Donna started with the basic IKEA HENJNE shelving unit, which is functional but lacks character. To infuse it with rustic appeal, she stained the wood to deepen its tone and added vintage baskets and a stenciled crate labeled “Pure Cane Sugar” for a nostalgic touch. This clever combination not only enhanced the shelf’s aesthetic but also increased its storage capacity, making it both beautiful and practical.?

This project is a perfect example of how a little creativity can transform everyday furniture into something special. By incorporating vintage elements and a touch of DIY flair, Donna elevated a simple storage unit into a statement piece that complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to industrial.?

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home decor, this IKEA hack is a fantastic option. With just a few materials and some elbow grease, you can create a unique piece that adds character and functionality to your space.?
