Down-on-their-luck vintage fabrics (think stained, worn, and ripped) hit the style jackpot in these easy projects by Ki Nassauer of JunkMarket. STUCK ON YOUMake binder clips and memo boards cook with 1940s apron fabric. For both projects, iron fusible interfacing to fabric. Temporarily remove silver arms from 2-inch binder clips. Cut fabric to fit clip exactly, coat interfacing with spray adhesive, and stick to the clip. For memo board, cut fabric to fit top. (To ease writing, avoid using such bumpy fabrics as corduroy.) Spray interfacing with adhesive and attach. Apply two coats of decoupage medium for a hard finish; trim edges with thin cord.
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
