Exciting news! In addition to contributing on Poppytalk, you can now find The Crafted Life over on Curbly! If you haven’t heard of Curbly before, it’s a site dedicated to sharing DIY projects for the home.
My office is in desperate need of a makeover, so for my first project, I turned a cork mat (used underneath plants to soak up water), into a mousepad. Click here to see the full tutorial!
Oh this is SO cute! That’s it, I’m going to get me some fabric and a cork mat right now!
Yay! I can’t wait to see what you make Stephanie!
Oh i love this one. Recently put some mousepads d.i.y on my Pinterest boards & now i definetely want to make these.
That’s amazing Karlijn, what good timing! You’ll have to let me know how it goes!
You are on FIRE! Congrats on contributing EVERYWHERE! :) Also I love this mousepad, using a cork saucer is totally genius. Pinning!
Yayyy thanks Marlene! Hopefully I don’t run of ideas :) Thanks for sharing!
That fabric is so pretty.
Thanks Tranae! I kind of want to make a dress out of it as well :)
A dress would be so awesome. You should add gold buttons if you make it.
Brilliant, YES!
This is great! So great in fact that I have already followed the tutorial, made a fab mousemat and written a blogpost about it! Thanks for inspiring me! http://plenty-of-honey.blogspot.co.uk/
Rosie, you are AMAZING! I’m completely flattered! Also, you knocked it out of the park, well done :)
