Cherry Blossom Display

Blooming for just a few brief weeks in spring, cherry blossoms are famously ephemeral. Unless, that is, you craft artful renditions of them from glassine or vellum, in which case they’ll deliver year-round pleasure.

Magnetic Flowers

Put a little spring into your solid-toned tablecloths by embellishing them with a bunch of magnet-fitted flowers.

Lampshade Liner

Brighten up plain shades with a pretty lining that comes to life when you flip the switch.

Hankie Valance

The tailored look of men’s handkerchiefs can add punch to more than just pockets. Turn a set of new hankies or pristine vintage ones into a valance.

Lattice Frames

In the garden, latticework is assembled into trellises to form an attractive armature for climbers such as roses, clematis, and morning glories. Indoors, these crisscrossed strips of lath look just as fitting when they are used to make jaunty frames for pressed flowers.

Floral Pillows with Petals

Store-bought cushions spring to life when adorned with pretty, handmade Ultrasuede florets.
