Do It Yourself - Interesting way to make a jute seat out of unused tyre.

Take an unused four wheeler tyre. Drill at six places and fasten two plywood planks by cutting them into two circles of 55cm diameter each. Screw the planks to your tyre tightly enough so that it won’t come off. Do it on the reverse side of the tyre as well. Take sisal rope and start glueing at the center of the circle in order to obtain a perfect finish. With the hot glue gun, apply the glue on the board and secure one end of sisal.

Use enough glue to stick and move the sisal rope round in a snail shape. Repeat till you make sure that the end of the sisal from the board meets the beginning of the one on the edge. Do this for the reverse side of the tyre as well. Once you cover the entire tyre, cut the rope.

Apply the sealer to the brush and cover all sisal surface with it. Wait one hour before you put another coat on it. This sealer is ready to touch after one day but the complete drying takes two weeks!

Your sisal rope seat is ready!

Do It Yourself - Smarten up your delicate plants differently!

There’s an enchanted quality to this placement of greenery, as if delicate plants are spilling in from the chimney.

How to Do It:-

• First check to see that your fireplace gets at least a little bit of sun.

• Then shop the garden center (or your house) for about a dozen low-light plants—ferns and mosses are perfect—and nice-looking terra-cotta pots of different heights and shapes.

• Use a stump (again, at the garden center) or a stool to elevate one plant.

• Turn over spare pots to serve as stands for others, creating a sense of organic randomness through varied levels.

• Place some plants inside the fireplace opening, with others inching out and a few flanking the opening.

• Matched pairs pull the look together.

• Leave some blank space, rather than filling every inch.

• The intricate leaves can be appreciated (and watering is easier) with a little air around them.

Do It Yourself Tips Pillow with Rosette Clusters!

This design has a vital, dynamic quality, as the three-dimensional effect plays tricks with the eyes. The wonderful texture and depth of color have been created by folding small circles of bright orange cloth (either felt or felted wool) and packing them very tightly together on the base fabric in order to create a structure that seems alive, and screams out to be stroked !

Materials & tools

• Feather pillow insert, 10 x 18″ (25 x 45cm)
• For the pillow cover: 23 1/2 x 19″ (57 x 47cm) orange felt or felted woven-wool fabric
• For the folded rosettes: 20 x 18″ (50 x 45cm) orange felt or felted woven-wool fabric
• Matching zipper, 18″ (45cm) long — optional
• Matching sewing thread
• Basic sewing kit

• If you wish to make a pillow back with a zipper, cut out three pieces of felt for the pillow cover — one piece measuring 11 x 19″ (27 x 47cm) for the front and two pieces measuring 6 x 19″ (14.5 x 47cm) and 6 1/2 x 19″ (15.5 x 47cm) for the back. If you wish to make a sewn-in pillow back, cut the back panel to the same measurements as the front. To make the rosettes, cut out 60 felt circles with a 3″ (7cm) diameter.
• Pinch each felt circle in the middle, and fold the sides in to form a rosette. Hand-stitch the base of each folded rosette to hold it together.
•  Starting at one end of the front pillow panel, hand-stitch the rosettes onto the fabric, stitching neatly and securely through the base of each one.
• Continue adding rosettes, positioning them very close together to form a dense, wide row of rosettes through the center of the pillow panel. Make sure that the row of rosettes is straight and that there is the same amount of undecorated base fabric on either side of the row.
• Make up the pillow back and join the front and back following one of the two options below. Insert the pillow form into the finished cover.
