Inspiration / Calming Bedroom

This picture brings me immediate peace and joy. I immediately see myself in the space. That’s what I love about design so much, that you’re able to create a space that inspires an emotional response. I can literally feel the warm summer afternoon breeze and aromas flowing through through my computer screen!

Does it stir an emotiontial response for you too?

DIY MOON PHASE WALL HANGING

As a lover of all things astronomy related, this DIY by Almost Makes Perfect is right up my alley! Whether you’re a fellow moon phase enthusiast or just like the celestial body’s graphic appeal, this super simple wall hanging will spruce up any space.

Materials

Black polymer clay (2 packages), white polymer clay, cookie cutters (round, oval + square), toothpicks, string / needle + thread, a rolling pin.

Instructions

Step 01. soften up your clay and shape out your black balls (teehee), i used each slice of the package as a separate ball (teehee).

Step 02. add a bunch of small pieces of white to your black and roll around in your hands to get the white to spread organically like marble. careful not to blend the white in too well or you’ll have to start over.

Step 03. roll out each piece using your rolling pin (that you obviously don’t use with food because that would be nuts).

Step 04. using the circular cookie cutter, shape a circle. to get the crescent moon shapes, press the circle in again lower. cut out all the shapes you’d like using the various cookie cutters.

Step 05. let the clay cool off from your hands if necessary – then poke a hole in the top of each piece using a toothpick, and bake according to the package directions.

Step 06. once baked and cooled, tie your pieces together. this was super hard to figure out how to do / photograph, so follow the above diagram. Basically — you loop the thread through with your needle, and knot on the backside. try to space yours out better than we did.
