If you’ve decided to make a renovation or simply want to add a little life to the kids’ room – carpets and rugs are a real solution for making a kids’ room different and cozy and to give it a personal touch. The whole ambiance of the kids’ room may become more colorful and more comfortable. As winter approaches the carpet is an essential thing in the kids’ room: moving and playing on such a carpet is warmer and more comfortable. You can use the carpet to equip sleeping, reading, playing or studying places. In any of those cases the carpet or rug is a cool way to organize kids’ spaces and make it warmer and cozy!

For some parents getting their kids to take a bath is an all-out war. You can make bath time more fun and inspiring. One of tactical steps is to make an original hooded towel. This tutorial shows you the basic process of making a butterfly towel. Let`s begin with creating the face and wings. Cut your hand towel in half horizontally. Fold under the finished edge about 3-4 inches and pin and then stitch it in place. You`ll make the eyes using pattern pieces. As for antennae, sew them leaving the bottoms open. Turn them right side out and stuff them with some stuffing. Cut a slit in your towel and slide your antenna into it. You can design wings any way you like, for example, cut the edges of the towel to look like wings. At last you can design the work to your taste. And that’s it! You’re done! You see that there are so many ways to make ordinary things special adding your own unique personal touch.

Today I’m gonna share with you one of the cutest crafts ever – making three blind mice, which are just lovely for song bags, storytelling and even for Halloween décor, if you like! The supplies are: wool, felt, paint, CopyDex (or fabric/felt glue) and scissors. Begin with making three large pom poms and trimming them into a triangular shape with straight sides. Then from a sheet of felt cut out eyes, noses, mouths, ears and eye patches. With felt glue or CopyDex glue the felt pieces to the pom poms (for the ears you need to pinch and glue one edge together and glue in the center part a few of the pom pom threads) and hold them in  place for a few seconds for better secure. Attach the wiggly tail and you’re done!

What can be easier than these washi tape bracelets? They’re amazing and can refresh any kid’s look in just a minute. To make this you only need few rolls of washi tape in colors and prints that you like. There’re only two steps: fold the tape in from both sides and seal it with some tape around both ends. Voila, you bracelets are ready to be worn! It looks like a cute and simple bauble’s replacement and although, they won’t last forever, your kid can always make another one, and another one… according to the mood or today’s outfit. Enjoy!

Every baby is individual and only mother knows  what might make her baby fall asleep but clouds are universal, I think. So find some time to take on a cool project – DIY nursery clouds. It can be realized with a very small budget. All you need is a metal frame, styrofoam, white sheet, spray adhesive and batting. Primarily wrap the frame in a white sheet and attach it with spray adhesive. Then stick styrofoam balls and let everything dry. Spray your product with adhesive and attach hand sized portions of batting. Once your clouds are covered in batting and completely dry, simply hang with a strong fishing line and attach it to secure cup hooks screwed firmly into the ceiling. So very quickly and easily your can make your baby`s first room special and unforgettable.

With Halloween fast approaching, it`s time to start thinking about costumes. Making your own Halloween costume is fun, but it can be time/money/nerves consuming. We`ve sorted out one of the favorite ideas for your kid – a DIY fox costume. Before shopping for materials, explore your wardrobe, rummage through old clothes and you may find something fit, for example, an old sweater (with a hood) and a red jacket. At first cut the hoodie and sleeves off the sweater. Then cut the shapes for the chest, ears, and tail of the felt. Pin your chest felt to the front of the jacket and sew it on. You may replace jacket`s buttons with vintage ones. Sew together the tail and ears (leave opening so you can flip the fabric and then stuff it). Finally sew the finished hoodie onto the collar of the jacket. If the sleeves of jacket are really short, add the sleeves of the sweater to the end of the sleeves of the jacket. It’s like they are the fox paws. That’s it! You see, that transforming old clothes is a great way to create a cheap/fun/cute/last minute costume for your babe (or even yourself….). Happy Halloween!

When I first saw this room photos, I could only whisper “Whoa…”. This bedroom has such a fun and whimsical spirit and reflects so perfectly my vision of how a teen girl’s room might look like! Although it’s obviously looking girly with all those glitter and pinks, it isn’t looking baby-ish or too schmaltzy along with woodsy and vintage pieces. Also the biggest advantages of this room are lots of DIY and personal touches like frame holding headbands and bows, the glittering “Yeah Baby” sign and hanging closet branch that fill the space and make it more individual and unique. See more ideas from this darling nursery in the gallery below.
