You can find very special stickers and wallpapers of different colors and materials. I found very interesting the products in the site section “To draw and color wall stickers”  made in chalkboard material or the color wall stickers. I think i’ll buy one when my baby will grow up.

I like the wallpapers selection for the “vintage flavour” , here some ideas choosed for the nursery:

Why you should spend money if you can buit it by youself? Let’s talk about it!

In this period i’m totally in love with geometrical shapes, expecially triangles and squares.

Maybe it’s for my “professional deformation”. Did i told you that i’m an Architect?

Today i’ll show you this new DIY idea i had by mixing together CLOTHESPINS and TRIANGLES.

The process is very easy, you only need :

  • glue
  • clothespins (the bigger ones you can find in wood)
  • a nice drawing you like.

DIY CLOTHESPINS

Have you read my last post about “how to make a DIY triangle boxes” from clothespins?

If not here you can find the link.

The picture here shows the process to make a triangle,

but it’s quite the same to make the haxagon.

 

 

 

 

I only used a white cardboard to write “enjoy life” and on the back a pink one that i shaped as an hexagon.

The size dipends on the one of clothespins you use, one side of the hexagon is about 10 cm.

This is the first prototype and i like it in it’s semplicity, next time i’ll sure make a new and bigger one using two clothepins for side.

You can use the DIY tray as a frame for your summer pictures and:

  • hang it on a wall

  • place it on a shelf.

How many others different solution you can find?

If you don’t like the color you can easily change it because wooden clothepins can be paint.

Last 21th of June was the first day of Summer and i wanted to make a new DIY project perfect for this period.

I love Escher but “never in my life” i could ever imagine that his visionary drawing would fit in my idea of a simple drinks coaster.

Sorry for that, Mr Escher 🙂
