Decorative Accents

March 15, 2010 by Aliesha

Last week I spent some time making decorative hemp ball accents for our future living room. I love the look of natural accents (birds’ nests, natural fibers, plants, etc.), and I’ve been eying decorative accents similar to these for a while. Making them was fun, easy, and more inexpensive than purchasing them would have been. The tutorial came from Make it and Love it. She painted some of hers, which looks fabulous. I might do that once our living room colors are definitely decided.I also would like to find a shallow basket to use for displaying them (thrift shop?), since the one in the photos is my fruit basket!

    Really like these Aleisha! They came out quite nice. I prefer natural elements too. Maybe have to give them a try for our den… Hope you’re having a great day!

    Yours look awesome! I have made 3 so far and they are all covered in hot glue and my fingers are burnt down to the bone! I guess I should practice some more. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
