I can get so many ideas in my head, and go on and on about all the things I plan to do. I was looking for a quote to make into subway art that would motivate me to do more, talk/plan less. This Ben Franklin subway art printable quote is what I created. I Mod Podged (which you can see in the not-yet-dry stage pictured) the 11×14 print onto a canvas of the same size, and now I have a little reminder to keep me going.

This decorative felt basket is easy to whip up, costs next to nothing, and can be made to match practically any decor style. When you see how simple this project is, you will have them for every season end every room. Irina from Irina’s Cute Box walks you through the process in the following step by step tutorial that her friend shared with her. Enjoy!
TUTORIAL:
SUPPLIES:
1. A piece of felt 8×8 inches (20×20 cm)
2. Hexagon pattern made of paper
3. Needle and thread
4. Pins
5. Various beads, shells, etc for decoration
Put the hexagon pattern on the felt, pin it, and cut it off. Make cuts as shown on the image below.
Take tree triangles and pin them as it’s shown on the picture.
Stitch them where they were pinned. Take other 3 triangles and stitch them as the first row.
Then, decorate the basket with sea shells, beads, lace, embroidery or some other decorating elements. Here we go! There is a finished basket that may be stuffed with some stones, marbles, or just old spools.
Thank you for the cute tutorial, Irina.
