They are still being published but just in one language version. They'll appear here eventually but for now feel free to drop by to my Polish blog - even if the steps are in Polish, I hope the photos will be comprehensible for all of you.<br />

I got really frustrated, ‘cause all of my attempts were failures and I found so many interesting images on the Internet I wanted to use. So I came up with an idea. I’ve tried to print out a graphic on a tissue paper and.. bull’s eye! It came out really nice. So today I want to show you how you can get some new decoupage tissues with any picture you want.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1. </b></span> Using the tape, stick the tissue to the printer paper in the top left corner – this area is printed first.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>2.</b></span> Press the tape along the edges with your finger to make it stick better. It is very important step for the safety of your printer. If the tape doesn’t stick well, the tissue paper can rip up and jam the printer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">3.</span></b> Insert the paper in the printer - the tissue should face downward and the part of paper card with it should be inside the printer (the upper part will be printed as first).</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>4.</b></span> Find a picture you want to have and paste it in a text editor (MS Word or whatever). Resize it to the size of the tissue. The margins should also correspond to the position of the tissue. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>5. </b></span>Print the image, using low usage of ink settings (fast draft or fast normal). It is a very important for the quality of the print out. Any higher setting would end up with soaking through the tissue and making ugly blots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>6. </b></span>Cut it out and your tissue is ready to use.<br />

If only we discovered them sooner! We watch one movie every Friday evening. So far we’ve seen: My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Ponyo, Secret World of Arrietty, Whisper of the Heart and Kiki’s Delivery Service and we’re glad there’s still so many to go. Thus, I came up with the idea to give my sister a T-shirt with Ghibli’s logo for Christmas. After little research I decided to make one instead of buying. My sister was so happy when she opened her present! So today I want to show how to make one yourself.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1. </b></span>Put the T-shirt on a hard surface. Put the carbon paper sheet in a right place on the T-shirt (with the copying side facing downwards), and put the printout of logo on it. Attach them to the T-shirt using tape.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>2.</b></span> Strongly pressing the pen, draw along the lines. Remember about every tiny line.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">3.</span></b> Remove the carbon paper and the template. Sorry for the low quality of my logo, but it turned out that the fabric of my T-shirt wasn’t very cooperative. But it wasn’t THAT bad, so I continued.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>4</b></span>. Put some old newspapers inside the T-shirt, under the place with logo, to prevent the paint from soaking through the fabric and staining the other side. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">5.</span></b> Using the fabric marker, draw along the lines. Before using the marker read the instructions – some of them need to be “put into operation” by pressing the writing part or the pump on the end. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>6.</b></span> Leave the T-shirt to dry for about 2 hours. I also added some soot sprites on the sleeves. <br />

So I decided to make a new tutorial using them. I’ve always wondered what’s the purpose of those plastic circles in CD packages. I have plenty of them so I was thinking how I can recycle them. At first, I wanted to make a small rack but my attempts were all failures. However, this oilcloth is pretty inspiring – I came up with an idea for cup pads. So, gather all of your old, broken CDs and get to work!</div>

Well, I did for sure. It turns out that it does not take much to make them more likely to achieve next year. Most of us probably compose the goals the wrong way and that’s why we forget about them by the end of January. In today’s tutorial I want to show you how to make our goals more achievable using paper, scissors and a little bit of modern psychology, the basics of which I had a chance to learn during my university courses. Scientific texts quoted here come from the book "Improving interpersonal skills" written by Hanna Dolna, who is the coach at interpersonal training at my uni, during which, I learned how to properly formulate goals, and not just business ones. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>Goal Principles</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>on the basis of the book "Doskonalenie umiejętności interpersonalnych", Hanna Dolna, Wyd. Naukowe UMK, Toruń 2010</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">1)</span></b> <b>Use positive language, present tense and finite verbs</b>
- determine what do you want to accomplish, not what you want to avoid, use present tenses (example: “I sign up for a language course”, but not “I will sign up…”) and finite verbs (example: “I find", not “I’m looking for”); </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>2)</b></span> <b>Be specific, determine the indicators of achieving the goal</b>- don’t use generalities, it will be harder to determine if you achieved the goal (example: “I jog more” – what does it mean “more”? be specific – “In January I am jogging at least once a week”)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>3)</b></span> <b>Divide your goals </b>- split the bigger, long-term goals to smaller and short-term ones (example: “I lose 15 pounds in 2014” split to “I lose 3 pounds by the end of April”, “I lose next 3 pounds by the end of August” etc.);</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>4)</b></span> <b>Make the goals depend on your actions, not someone else’s</b> - the more the goal depends on you, the more likely you’ll achieve it (example: “I’m getting a raise” – it depends on your boss” decision, but “I increase my income by finding a part-time job” – depends on you);</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>5)</b></span> <b>Write down your goals and determine the dates of their realization</b> - describe the goal, its conditions, effects, people involved, everything that’s important (example: “I improve my relationship with my old friend by going for a walk with him next weekend”)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>6)</b></span> <b>Check your resources</b> - knowing your resources (abilities, skills, knowledge) it’ll be easier to reach your goal; you’ll know what you need to achieve it, whether or not you need someone’s help;<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">7)</span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> </span>Be systematic </b> - every time it’s possible, do something for your goal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>YOUR GOAL SHOULD BE <span style="color: #3d85c6;">SMART</span>:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>S</b></span></span> </span>- specific (What do you want to accomplish? Why do you want it? Who is involved?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">M</span> </span></b>- measurable (How will I know when it is accomplished?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">A</span></b></span> - achievable (Is this goal realistic? Have you got skills to reach it?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">R</span> </b></span>- relevant (Does this seem worthwhile? Does this match your efforts/needs?)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">T</span></b></span> - time-bound (When will it be accomplished? What can you do today?)<br />
<br />
And remember – don’t make all of your goals lofty and ponderous. Don’t be afraid to include more trivial and simple goals, too. They’ll be reached in no time for sure and they’ll be a good start before achieving those serious ones :)<br />

I was trying to use deodorant caps or toilet paper tubes but the effect wasn’t satisfactory. My salvation came when I saw those perfectly shaped bottles at the mall. I think my mother is still wondering what I had in mind when I popped out of the kitchen and shouted “Don’t you throw away those bottles! I can see bells in them!” with madness in my eyes… Tee hee.. Anyway, I am very proud of the effect and I’m going to hang them on my window. I think it can also be a good addition to Christmas wreaths.</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1.</b></span> Using the paper knife, cut out the collar of the bottles and then cut out the top of the bottles (you’ll know the right place to cut – they should look like bells).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>2.</b></span> Tear the newspaper to small pieces.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">3.</span></b> Mix some wallpaper adhesive with water and smear the cut part of the bottle (inside as well as outside). Then stick the pieces of the newspaper to it. Smear it again and doing so make a few layers of paper, including the hole at the top. Do the same with the other bell and leave them to dry.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>4.</b></span> Paint the bells and leave them to dry again.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>5. </b></span>Cut off a piece of wire and wind one end on a pen or pencil. Take it off the pencil and stick the other end through the top of one of the bells so that the winded end is inside it. Then stick it through the other bell’s top (from outside this time) and wind that end on the pencil too.<br />

It’s December after all – there are hundreds of Christmas tutorials on the Internet and that number is still growing ;). Since salt dough is an easy-to-get material, I decided to show you how you can make gingerbread decorations. But beware! This tutorial is highly dangerous for family foodies, ‘cause they can break their teeth by mistake. For their own good, best if you warn them about making this kind of gingerbreads ;).</div>

I wanted to create something that I haven’t seen on crafting blogs, so I searched a lot of them to make sure I won’t copy someone else’s idea. So far I haven’t found anything similar. I bought this polystyrene cone, but I wasn’t sure how I’m going to use it. The idea came quite quickly, when I saw those paper doilies. I grabbed the scissors and this is what I ended with. <br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">1.</span> </b>Using the ruler and pencil divide the doily into 10 parts (join the gaps between opposing petals - see the picture) and cut them. I used 16 doilies for covering the whole cone.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>2.</b></span> Beginning at the base of the cone, attach the parts of the doily in a row around the cone using the pins. Their corners should overlap a little. <br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>3. </b></span>Attach the parts of the second row between two petals of the previous row (like fish scales). Decorate the rest of the cone this way. You can glue the last row to the top of the cone.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">4.</span></b> As for decoration, stick 1/3 of the pin in the cone (at a certain angle), and then hang a bead on it. It’s best if you add the beads decoration in places where the polystyrene is the most visible.<br />

They often were made of regular school notebooks which discredits their practicality in a kitchen environment… It’s common knowledge – kitchens get messy during work and the paper cover would get covered with greasy stains in no time. Besides, I really don’t like having a limited number of pages ‘cause any additional recipes would have to be kept loose. Therefore, I want to show you a new generation of recipe notebooks – with a 100% washable cover, with adjustable number of pages and with recipes easily sorted by type. Basically, with every feature I look for in such notebooks. I’m going to donate four of those notebooks to a charity fair in my town.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1. </b></span>Put the open file binder on the back side of the oilcloth and mark the points where its corners are. Then add 2 cm on each side and cut out the rectangular shape.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>2.</b></span> Cut the corners off – the line must go through the marked points, you don’t need to do this at an exact angle.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>3.</b></span> Put the file binder on the cut piece of oilcloth and mark the width of its spine in the half of the length of the cut shape. Cut two triangles there – their top should touch the folding point of the cover (see picture 3). Do the same on the other side. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">4.</span></b> Fold the wings to the inside and then, removing the protective layer little by little, stick the oilcloth to the binder. Be careful not to make any air bubbles underneath. <br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>5.</b></span> On the construction paper, measure two rectangles – their size should correspond to the inner side of each part of the cover (minus 0.3-0.5 cm for better look). In one of them make a gap for the binder’s metal holder.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>6.</b></span> Glue them to the both parts of the inner side of the cover. You can also stick a strip of the oilcloth on the inner side of the spine.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>7.</b></span> Decorate the cover as you wish.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">8.</span></b> Put the refill pad into the binder and our notebook is ready. You can also make some personalized file dividers for each type of dishes. I made cards for: soups, snacks, main courses, salads and desserts. <br />

Upon closer inspection, it turned out it isn't what I expected - it just pretends to be a syringe, but in fact there is a normal ballpen inside it. But, it has inspired me to further experiments, which were succesful and ended with my new blog entry. I especially recommend this tutorial for medical students :)</div>

Every year there are more and more Halloween stuff you can get at shopping centres, so maybe someday it’ll be an integral part of All Saints’ Day. That’s why I decided to make a Halloween tutorial for you. I’m sorry for the quality of the photos but I had to come back to my job and I don’t have a lot of free time. That’s why there are differences in light – some of them were taken in the morning and some in the evening. But nevertheless - Happy Halloween!<br />

Each of us has fresh memories of the summer and we don’t have a warm welcome for the cooler months. Of course, they also have some charm of their own, but autumn is mostly associated with passing away, reflection and quiet contemplation. Rainy evenings are a perfect opportunity to catch up on books you haven’t read. As for adding some optimistic aspect to your meeting with reading, I’ve decided to show you how to make happy bookmarks. I hope their happy faces will chase away the autumn blues. It is also a nice tutorial for kids, because they usually get bored on rainy days. </div>

How many of you wanted a patch with your favourite game or anime but you’re short on money at conventions? It happens to me very often. In today’s tutorial I want to show you how to make a patch with your favourite logo using just a piece of denim and paint. It is also a perfect tutorial for punk rock fans, since handmade patches would be a great addition to their outfit.<br />

Unfortunately, after a lot of effort, I failed - it was impossible to bend my forks without a vice. So I changed the idea a little bit and the final effect you can see above. And for the wedding - it was so... lovely. My friend was the loveliest bride! The food was delicious, the band did a great job with the music, the bride's wedding dress was amazing. They both looked so happy and I was happy for them too. I hope it all was just like they imagined.</div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1. </b></span>Using the sponge paint the cutting board – do it the same way as you apply powder on your face. Paint this way both sides of the cutting board.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">2.</span></b> Apply the first layer of varnish. In places where you want to put the graphics apply a little more. Before it dries, attach the motifs – you don’t need to use glue because the varnish is sticky enough, and at the same time when it soaks through the paper it will be easier to blend it in the structure of the wood. You can also use the transfer technique but the printouts should be a mirror image (you can find some tips on transfers <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2013/07/how-to-transfer-a-photo-to-wood.html">here</a>)<br />

And I promised! Unacceptable! But really... recent events are making me unable to find any time to add new ones. So there's a litany of the reasons of delays for those of you and I hope you'll forgive me: I am writing the first chapter of my master's thesis, I was on vacation, I was looking for job, I got the job I like, I got a ticket and I was felt down, I'm preparing for my friend's hen party and wedding, I had birthday, I was looking after my dying pet... So it was pretty much 50:50 for nice and bad events. And in today's tutorial - new ideas for chenille stems. </div>

In today’s tutorial (and a few next ones), I decided to use the chenille stems I got for my birthday. It’s a tutorial mainly for kids but I’m sure adults can find some fun in it as well. I’m going to catch up with my overdue tutorials, so probably there will be next one next week, also with fluffy flowers.</div>

I was very happy to know that someone likes my blog and find it interesting. The request concerned a <a href="http://img.zszywka.pl/1/0089/w_2822/DIY-Handmade/robie-to.jpg">drawing pad</a>, which the author of the e-mail had found on the Internet. I have send her a preliminary version of the tutorial but I didn't have time for posting it here. This week I finally found time for completing this project. The final version vary from what I send as an answer, but the result should be the same. It is also a good opportunity to learn the patchwork technique. </div>

<b><span style="color: #e69138;">1. </span></b>Depending on the way you want the pieces of fabric to be situated on your pad, cut out some pieces of fabric and sew them together – you can use the patchwork technique too. The final size of the fabric has to be 5 cm longer on each side of the clipboard and cardboard (see the picture). Also cut out few pieces of felt for pockets. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>2.</b></span> Place the fabric upside- down . Place the cardboard on the left side of it, and the clipboard on the right. There should be at least 1 cm of free space between them. </div>

They're supposed to be „kawaii” and adorable, but those I found are, for me, too fluffy and too extravagant so I decided to make simpler ones myself. They can be used as a hair decoration for teenagers, as an element of a costume for kids or an interesting addition to your sexy outfit. Once again the basic knowledge in crochet will be needed here (for the new readers – you can find very comprehensible tutorials for basic stitches in „A vernal hair accessory”).</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1.</b></span> Make a chain of 16 and work the first two rows with single crochet, adding one chain stitch at the end of the rows for turning.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">2.</span></b> Next rows work also with single crochet but don't make any additional chain stitch at the end of each row. Thanks to it you will have one less crochet to work in each row, so you will get a triangle. Repeat until you have only one stitch at the top. And that's how you make one ear. Make the other one the same way.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">3.</span></b> Saw the ears to the hairband (approximately 3.5 cm from the center of the hairband) using the needle and a piece of the wool – lead them around the band. Single crochet stitch is stiff and tight by it's nature, so the ears won't bend but if you're not satisfied with the effect you can stiffen them with a piece of a thin wire sawn along the edges of the ears.</div>

But they took up a lot of space so I decided to put them in the CD sleeves. The empty jewel cases have been lying on the shelf for a long time, 'cause I thought they would be useful someday. And "someday" is today! I was thinking of transforming them into photo frames and realization came last week. Check it out - it's fast and easy!</div>

I wanted to make a tutorial about it too, but it's not very impressive to write something like "cut off the pantlegs and congrats - you did it it in 3 seconds"... So I came up with a little enrichment - painting the pockets. I really like <u>country</u> music (and I mean the real thing, 'cause "this modern pop country ain't country at all"), so I decided to paint the Dixie flag on my shorts as a tribute to Daisy Duke. But it's my choice - the same way you can paint other flags.</div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1.</b> </span>Taking your other shorts as a basis, measure and mark the corresponding length of the legs (from the outer and inner side of the thighs) on your old jeans.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>2.</b> </span> Join those points with the tape – in the front and in the back. I could have used paper tape, it would be more visible in the photo… (well, it’s too late). Then cut off the pantlegs along the tape.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>3.</b> </span>Tape the pocket along the seam to secure it from any stains. Believe me or not – there IS tape in the photo. Then paint the whole pocket with white paint, if you want the colors to be more intense.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>4.</b></span> Find the square battle flag in Google Graphics or wherever and copy it three times in MS Word (if you’re making a different flag, copy it as many times as many colors there are on the flag). Then print it out on the piece of stiff paper – using black ink – it doesn’t need to be in color.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">5.</span></b> On each flag, cut off the shapes (by color) to make a template for each color.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>6.</b></span> Tape the first template to the pocket and paint it inside. Press down on the paper to prevent the paint from getting under the template. Leave it to dry.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">7. </span></b>Tape the second template, paint it and leave it to dry. Use the template with stars for marking their position on the flag. Any stains you can remove by painting with a toothpick.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>8. </b></span>Twenty-four hours after painting the last color, preserve the flag by ironing on the reverse side in accordance with the instruction on a tag. Then attach the stars with super glue. I leave the fate of the other pocket to you.<br />

We made a great team so we traded them with each other and in the end I came back home with dozens of such bracelets.<br />
Today’s tutorial is made for a special request from a ten-year-old Iza, who recently became interested in making Filofun bracelets. She also liked my embroidery floss bracelet I never take off and she wanted to know how to make one. Due to lack of time to show it to her personally, I decided to make a tutorial here. The pattern is not complicated and it is only one of hundreds of possibilities of weaving. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1.</b></span> From each color of embroidery floss cut off a few pieces long as from your hand to shoulder. I cut off 3 pieces of white, 3 blue and 2 brown. The more threads, the thicker the bracelet will be (and also require more work). With the length of the threads shown here, you can make a bracelet of max. 10 threads – if you want more, they have to be longer.<b><span style="color: #e69138;"> </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">2.</span></b> Take the threads together and tie them making the strong knot at the end. Then, put the safety pin through the knot.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>3. </b></span>Fasten the pin to a pillow, a seatback or your trousers and separate
each color (their order will represent the order of the colors on the
bracelet).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">4. </span></b>Now watch the short video on the rest of tutorial. I decided to make it like this because the photos I made could be unclear and hard to describe. And in the video you can see all moves. There is no sound in it, so it won’t be annoying. A part of the bracelet is already done there but the beginning does not differ from what’s shown in the video. .</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">7. </span></b>If you want to tie the bracelet on somebody’s wrist, take a short piece of the embroidery floss and thread the needle. Put the needle through both of the knots. Leave one end of the thread on the one side and one on the other side and take off the needle. Tie it and that’s it.<br />

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>1.</b></span> Cut off the bottom of the bottle (around 7 cm from the bottom) to make a mold for your flowerpot.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #e69138;">2.</span></b> Stick the tape to one end of the toilet paper tube. Do it several times to make it leakproof. Put the skewer through the centre of the tube around 4.5 cm from its taped end. Put… this thing into the mold to see if it doesn’t touch the bottom of the mold. If it does, put the skewer a little lower. If you want to make a tealight holder, use a tealight instead of the contraption shown below. </div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>3.</b></span> Mix some plaster and some water in an old bowl. Their proportion should be 0.6 l of water to 1 kg of dry plaster. I used 410 g of dry plaster to 0.25 l of water. But remember about buoyancy – take less water than your mold can contain to prevent the substance from pouring out of it when you’ll put the toilet paper tube into it. </div>

<b><span style="color: #e69138;">4.</span></b> Pour the liquid plaster to the mold – you have to do this within 10 minutes since mixing because later it will begin hardening.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>5.</b></span> Put the tube contraption in the centre of the mold and tape the ends of the skewer to the edges. Leave it for one and a half hour. After that, remove the tube.<br />

I loved them until I saw their price - 25 $! They were obviously overpriced! I decided to make a pair myself since it's not that hard. It is also a perfect tutorial for my blog plus I can protect you all from ripoffs like that. It takes only few minutes to make them so feel free to use it. <br />

That’s why I came up with the idea to make something that could keep them in order even when they’re not on the bookshelf. If you can find a small crate in a nearby marketplace, in this tutorial I will show you how you can make it into an elegant bookstand. It’s a perfect occasion to learn the decoupage technique. And since soon it’s Mother’s Day in Poland, it’s my proposition for a present.</div>

As a child, I could sit for hours in the garden and watch them as they drink flower nectar. I used to take caterpillars home to watch them growing and to learn what butterfly would emerge from the chrysalis. After some time, I learned their names thanks to a guide my grandma had gave me. But I was really sad when I found out that some species live only for a few hours is an adult form. The beauty is so faint ... Therefore, in today's tutorial I’m going to show you how to make a decoration - a butterfly, which will live longer and will be pleasing to the eye every day.<b> </b></div>
