Bohemian Shoulder Bag

Looking for a fun and practical project for sewers of all levels? This cool-looking bag goes from super simple with plenty of options for embellishment. Enjoy playing with decorative stitches on your machine and splash some color in the process. Walk away (and around!) with a casual bag that shows some serious groove.

Ripple floating vase designed by the Japanese group oodesign.

Like a ripple ,"Floating Vase" is a bud vase that floats. Once on water, the vase becomes indistinguishable from the surrounding fluid, making the flower appear as if arranged directly onto the water. The flower floats nonchalantly, its stem slowly absorbing the water, changing position and appearance only when the wind or water movements allow.

Napkin Decoupage - City on a Canvas

A napkin with a bustling city design is decoupaged onto a canvas. Great for the teenager's room.

1. Paint the canvas with off white craft paint.

2. Paint rain grey craft paint with light strokes on the canvas whilst it is still wet.

3. Let diluted black craft paint (and also the other colours) run down the wet canvas. You may “throw” the paint onto the canvas with a brush. Let it dry.

4. Cut out the napkin to the desired size and only use the top layer.

5. Apply a coat of glossy decoupage lacquer onto the whole canvas.

6. Place the napkin onto the canvas and apply another coat of glossy decoupage lacquer. Let it dry.

7. Pour pumpkin craft paint into a refill plastic bottle with a tip and paint along the edge of the napkin design.
