HOLIDAY @ HOME: Map Heart Garlands

I know that I have previously posted a tutorial on round globe garlands.... But I just couldn't go past showing you all these gorgeous heart shaped map garlands! Why not use different maps of your favourite holiday destinations for each one? 

I found THIS very simple and easy to follow tutorial over on the Minnesota Mom blog.

HOLIDAY @ HOME: Playful Centrepiece

Here's a variation on traditional alphabet blocks that serves as a centrepiece or an entertaining little game. Sand the sides and corners of some 50mm square wooden blocks and paint them in soft beachy or bright tropical colours. Cut 50mm squares from maps and photos of your favorite tropical island and glue the squares on each block. Stack the blocks for a fun conversation piece or arrange them on a tray as a puzzle.

HOLIDAY @ HOME: Fairy light Headboard

 

I love this gorgeous, romantic fairy light headboard… It is so simple to make!

Build a simple timber frame from 2x4s and add crossbeams. Drill small holes to put cords through in the bottom of each opening. Paint your frame and screw to the wall. Fill each space with lights and connect all cords. Cut translucent panels from polycarbonate sheet and fix to the frame with screws.

Enjoy your new even more romantic nest!
