home: made [ felt pouf ]
Now is the time to start making our living rooms more cosy, with more textures and layers. We have found a tutoral for a felt pouf which looks great and can double up as a seat and table for a tray.
You may need to have some basic sewings skills to attempt this one, but its worth it.
Layer it with a faux sheepskin for ultimate coziness, put your feet up and relax.

They say;
We’re carrying on our love affair with macramé. It’s a great way to make a wall hanging – and it’s way quicker than weaving, knitting or quilting. If you’ve been putting off taking up a new skill because you’re busy, this might be the one for you. Plus you’ll have the skills you need to make all sorts of plant holders, wall hangings, jewellery and more. Macrame is super versatile and looks good in everything from kitchen string to leather cord, so what are you waiting for? Now’s the time to pick up the skill and get creative with it!
We’ll be using recycled jersey yarn created by our favourites over at Hoooked – we love their bright colours and sustainable manufacturing. Choose from pink, yellow, white or black. We’ll also supply a foraged rustic stick to hang your work from that’s been washed and heat-treated so its clean and dry!
What’s included:
– jersey yarn recycled by Hoooked
– a foraged stick to hang your macrame piece from
– a cotton tote to bring your handiwork home in
– fully illustrated instruction sheet to take away with you
Who’s it for: This is perfect for beginners. You must be over 18 to take part

The pom pom has grown in popularity in recent years and this year it has appeared on everything from shoes & clothing to garlands in the home. Appearing a lot on cuhsions, bedspreads and curtains pom poms bring a lot of fun to a room, also adding texture.
We all remember making pom poms at school, using a donut shaped piece of cardboard and a lot of wool. Although quite time consuming the result was worth it.
These days there are other ways to get the perfect pom pom and we have found some tutorials to show you how, plus different uses for them.

This weeks project is this cool hanging shelf; simple to make and adapt to your own design. Using just two basic components, a plank of wood and some rope, and the addition of a jigsaw and drill you are good to go.
In this example the shelf doubles up as a plant holder by cutting out a hole in the wood. This looks great and brings a different dimension to a standard shelf.
The options are endless for personalising your shelf. Paint the wood or use coloured rope to fit with yout interior.
