“No-Knit Your Way to Great Crafts!

This clever book gives yarn lovers—both knitters and non-knitters alike—50 fun ways to use their stashes without taking out their knitting needles. The projects are easy and simple, but with a modern aesthetic that manages to be both sophisticated and cozy. This book will strike a chord with DIYers who love yarn but don’t always want to take the time and effort to knit something from it. Some of the projects include a Sputnik lamp shade, a welcome mat, jewelry, and even a rehabbed woven lawn chair. Put away your needles and crochet hooks and create fabulous projects, from accessories to home goods and more!”

  28. I’ve been using small balls of yarn to make dream catcher’s and this book caught my attention with the title alone. I would be so excited to win this book and start to create, create, create!

  44. I have about 100 small balls of sock yarn. I’ve already knit striped socks with some of it, but weaving in a gazillion ends took forever. This book might provide some other terrific ideas. Thanks for the giveaway.

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.?
