Zodiac Signs & Constellations & Free Printables & Changes to the Blog

Hello everyone,

a little while ago I had the great idea to decorate my bedroom walls with the constellations of the zodiac signs. Well, I didn't expect that DIY project to take that long but in the end it took me about 8 hours in total to finish it.

First I looked for some useful pictures online using the google image search. Afterwards I transferred these onto paper using Gimp and Microsoft Word. I'll spare you the details here.

The most annoying part was to figure out where to place which constellation. I ended up using some yarn, a triangle, a straightedge and some crepe tape to do that.


Having all the constellations in place I added about 180 fluorescent star shaped stickers to the wall.

And I am more than happy with the result :)


What do you think? :)

And as I'm totally into zodiac signs and star constellations lately I thought it would be awesome to create some zodiac sign printables for you. Click on the picture below to download your copy :)



Soooooo last but not least, there are some changes I have in mind for my blog or better to say for my blogging schedule. Currently, I am trying to post something every two weeks. But to be honest, at the moment it's kinda hard for me to find the time, the topics and the energy to do so. So what I am planning to do is trying to post monthly for a little while. One post per month. I am not quite sure yet on which day will be posting day but I'll figure that one out soon I guess.

Alright, that's it for today.

Happy Craftin'!

A little book of quotes

Hi all,

a little while ago I sent some happy mail to my friend Sarra who lives in Algeria (check out her YouTube channel).


One piece of that little happy mail bundle was a little book of quotes. And I thought it might be fun to share how I created it.

So first I choose a special paper for the cover, cut it in shape and folded it in half.


Next I added the pages using paper with different flowery patterns. I then sewed cover and pages together using needle and thread.



Afterwards I logged on to pinterest, went through my quotes board (it's private, sorry), picked out my favourite ones and printed them on sticker paper.


I then cut the quotes out - line by line - and put them on the different pages - DONE!


See, so easy :)

Happy Crafting, everyone!

Yours
