Spend an afternoon making rose-scented soaps or sewing a memory cushion; reuse old crockery and learn to strip paint and upcycle furniture; or get your garden blooming with simple raised beds or a buzzin’ bee hotel.\n\nThe projects within these pages are for everyone, so take a break from the world, reignite your creative spark, and make your home a little bit more beautiful!\n\nTable of Contents\n\nIntroduction page 9\n\nChapter One: Crafternoons and the Power of Pause\n\nRose-Scented Melt-and-Pour Soaps 14\n\nClay Leaf Trinket Bowl 17\n\nSweet Night s Pillow Spray 20\n\nMercury Glass Effect Vases 22\n\nTeacup Candles 24\n\nFlower Letters 26\n\nPumpkin Spice Wax Melts 28\n\nDécoupaged Clothes Hanger 30\n\nBouquet Boxes 32\n\nDIY Bath Shelf 35\n\nChapter Two: A Stitch in Time\n\nSewing Essentials 40\n\nSewing Machine Guide 42\n\nEnvelope Cushion 44\n\nSuper-Quick Scrunchie 48\n\nReusable Makeup Pads 50\n\nReusable Dish Scrubbers 52\n\nPompom Cushion 54\n\nFabric Clothes Hangers 57\n\nBeautiful Bunting 60\n\nMemory Cushion 64\n\nSparkly Christmas Stockings 68\n\nEaster Bunnies 72\n\nEasy-Sew Kids Apron 75\n\nPencil Case 78\n\nChapter Three: Reuse and Refresh, Small\n\nMilk Carton Baskets 84\n\nTP Treasure Boxes 88\n\nTin Can Candles 90\n\nBicycle Wheel Wall Art 93\n\nFabric Zip Pouches 96\n\nVintage Plate Clock 99\n\nGlass Bottle Vase 102\n\nChapter Four: Reuse and Refresh, Big\n\nSecond-Hand Treasure Hunt 108\n\nUpcycling Essentials 112\n\nPlanning and Mood Boards 115\n\nPainting Furniture 118\n\nPainting Flat-Pack Furniture 120\n\nHow to Strip Paint 123\n\nFireplace Upcycle 126\n\nKitchen Cabinets Makeover 130\n\nSkirting and Architraves 133\n\nDreamy Dollhouse 135\n\nChapter Five: Let Yourself Bloom\n\nGardening Essentials 140\n\nNo-Dig Raised Bed 146\n\nRaised Bed with Legs 150\n\nPainting Outdoors 153\n\nTyre Planter 156\n\nTeacup Bird Feeders 158\n\nGarden Chair Shelf 162\n\nGorgeous Garden Pillows 166\n\nDIY Garden Apron 170\n\nHerbal Tea Garden 174\n\nBuzzin’ Bee Hotel 178\n\nSewing Terminology 184\n\nAll about Paint 187\n\nIndex 189\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 178849296X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.178849296X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carton, Catherine\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
