Shadow-box Wall Vase

This is like having 3D artwork on your wall.  It’s an innovative way to make a twist out of your ordinary frame. The shadow-box serves as a protrude art where you can mix and match its style with your favorite flower arrangements. To do this, create a personalized shadow-box and paint it with a complimentary color to  your wall. Use nails to secure your frame. Then, you can add your floral arrangement in the shadow-box hole. Don’t forget to replace flowers on a regular basis. This craft is a beautiful way to bring nature to an area that might normally be gloomy – like an interior home office or bedroom.

Creative Lampshade

If you are tired of looking at your dull and plain lampshade, wait until you do some creative paper designs in it. This can be done in a few easy steps. First, replace your existing lampshade with a plain white color. If it’s already white, you just have to remove dust and dirt stuck in your shade. Next, lay down your design template in a white rice paper. Using a cutter or craft knife, trim your design carefully and accurately. Attach your design at the back of your shade using clear adhesive. Use a small amount of adhesive in each corner of your design so it won’t appear when lamp is turned on.

Tabletop Twigscape

Cut twigs and branches to form an elegant tabletop design. The twigs and branches are artistically formed by nature which makes it very attractive when properly orchestrated at the center of your tabletop. For this craft, you need dried twigs and branches from your garden, durable base, pebbles, electric drill and wood glue. Start by forming your base using a wood. Depending on the size or dimension you wanted, cut the wood and form it accordingly. Drill some holes at the center that are enough to hold twigs and branches. Use wood glue to securely fasten the twigs. Scatter the pebbles onto the base to provide an artistic and natural look. What a great idea for a centerpiece on your dining table or kitchen bar.
