Felt Ball Rug | Instructables
I’ve admired the amazing creations by Little Lamb for years. I’ve always wanted one of their felt ball rugs (‘freckle’ rugs!) but couldn’t justify spending over $1000 on a rug. But making my own rug seems a little cheaper and I get to choose the colours to put into it. Pastels maybe?!

Oil Lamp Mason Jars {How to}
“My second repurposed idea is a mason jar oil lamp. All you need is a jar with a lid, a cotton wick and some lamp oil. I made a hole in the top of the zinc lid with a nail and pulled the cotton wick up through the opening. Then I filled 2/3 of the jar with lamp oil and secured the lid. I let the jar sit for about one hour before lighting so the oil would soak up into the wick. You only need about 1/4” of wick sticking out of the top to light. These little mason jar oil lamps are so easy to make and probably cost me about $3.00. I once lined a church walkway using these for a evening wedding. *Tip~a cotton shoelace works great as a small wick.”

Striped Rug Pillows- Martha Stewart
Nautical stripes in faded blues combine with neutrals and naturals for a room that’s modern and inviting. We used the same rugs to make two kinds of pillows: a large one (bigger than a bed pillow) and a smaller one with an envelope-style opening.
