This isn't a self indulgent post - honeslty No seriously it's just to show what I have managed to do with literally a few quid

So first, bedroom bought some fabric from Dunelm and made 3 canvases and 2 cushion covers - cost about £15

Now Libby's bedroom, this is basically MDF letter thats hubby made and I painted and some red car - cost well about £5

Curtains, fabric about £3 (and managed to make curtains for playroom too)

With felt butterflys on

Lamp shade - £1 and used card from wall butterflys

Now playroom, this sofa was £69 from Ikea - it was cream so not very practical so bought some PVC material for £15 and covered it

Curtains, left over fabric from Libbys bedroom

Added some detail on curtains, left over ribbon in my craft stuff

Again lampshade £1 and some craft bits

Another canvas used in the hallway

And now lounge, made some canvases and cushions - bought the fabric as curtain from ebay for £8

Used either side of the fireplace

And the cushions

And finally a canvas I made out of left over craft stuff - canvas about £1 for 2


Oops one more, a blanket I decorated when I was pregnant, cost about £4

Sorry did warn there was loads of pics!! xx

OMG hun - they are all fab - you are so imaginative!! Keep them coming hun -
I might pinch some of your ideas and see what I can come up with.

I think we should have a crafty forum for ideas like this - It just shows that you don't need to spend a lot to make something look fabulous!

Well done hun!

xx

Aw thanks Debs xx

Aww youve made some lovely things! You should be proud of yourself
I could never do anything like that U should make some canvas's and sell them...id buy one!!

Aw thanks Terri xxx

the lampshades are adorable! im totally nicking that idea...these are the things i always *mean* to do but never manage cos the house always seems to be such a tip

Hehe thanks Mari, the lampshades came about because I just couldn't find anything I liked for Libby's bedroom and then decided to do something similar for the playroom (because it was so cheap ) xx

wow brilliant they are so gr8 clever ol' u XX

they're all really good, I never get to do much because my hubbys so good at everything crafty he puts me to shame but you've inspired me!

I'm doing some bits and bobs in ava's room and I'm going to have a go at customising her drawers so i'll put the pics up.

Yay glad I've inspired you

It does amaze me how little you can spend sometimes, I'm actually going to be doing a birthday present for my firends little girl tonight, I'm going to personalise a plain top, the top was £2 for 2 and the felt was £2 for 3 squares (so I'm doing one for Libby as well) I'll put a pic up tonight when it's done xx

Ooooh a sticky for this would be good. I got some piccies to put up of things ive made for c's room at some point. All ace suse x
