Spring Season is almost here! Do you have a favorite trend or particular look that you like to sport during the season?! I'm loving laser cut outs, I like the patterns that are used and laser cut outs are very eye-catching. This clutch can be worn two ways, cross-body(comes with a detachable gold chain strap) and as a clutch. I'm mainly using it as a clutch the color is perfect and since I am such a neutral girl, I am trying to incorporate color into my wardrobe. This clutch that I have is from ShopLately you can click the link if you would like to see detailed photos and/or purchase the clutch.

When it comes to my crafty DIY projects, I am always thinking about projects that are affordable and easy for anyone to create. Here is another affordable and easy, room decor DIY. Learn how you can create your own scalloped map garland which is perfect to spice up a boring, empty wall. Watch the video to learn or follow the simple steps listed below.
You will need:
World Atlas or Map (found mines at the thrift store for $1)
cotton string
round bowl (preferably plastic)
decorative clips (damage free hanging)
glue stick
scissors
Step 1
Choose your favorite destinations. This could be a state, country, etc. I chose 11 places which made 11 scallops.
Step 2
Place plastic bowl on your chosen destination. Keep in mind, to create the scallops you start with a circle and you will be folding it in half. So if there is the name of the destination, for example, Brazil. You want to make sure the name will show on the correct side and not in the fold.
Step 3
With scissors, cut what you have traced and you should have a circle.
Step 4
Fold your cut out in half. Again make sure you have the fold on the correct side (name showing). Set aside.
Step 5
With cotton string measure the amount of string needed, this depends on how many scallops you make. When you have your desired length, tie a double knot on both ends. The loops are what will hang from the decorative clips.
Step 6
With your cut out and glue stick, apply glue to the middle and edge of the cut out.
Step 7
Place String in the middle of your glued cut out. Press down and hold in place for a few seconds.
Step 8
Tah dah! You should have your first scallop. Continue with the same steps listed above until you have all scallops. Use the decorative clips to hang on your wall. You are done!
Today's post I am bringing you an affordable and easy room decor DIY. Using Scalloped trim and a table napkin, I created a throw pillow. You can watch the video above or follow the directions listed below. I hope you enjoy!
Materials Needed:
Cloth Napkin - can be found in the dish-ware section at Target, Macys, etc
Scalloped Trim - Craft Store
Pillow Stuffing Sutffing - I recycled my old pillow
Glue Gun
Scissors
Step 1
Starting with cloth napkin. Fold in half and glue three sides, the fourth side should be left unglued (it needs an opening to insert stuffing).
Step 2
Measure with scallop trim to determine how much trim you will use for the cloth napkin. This step is simple because the cloth napkin has a set measurement. Basically, you just need to follow the edge of the cloth napkin. Measure, cut, and glue on to the edges of the cloth napkin. Let glue dry.
Step 3
Cut open an old pillow to use the stuffing. Insert as much stuffing needed for pillow.
Step 4
Once pillow is stuffed and shaped. Glue the end to close. Easy right?!
Use as a throw pillow for a little extra decor on furniture.
