Summer adventures: Medieval Festival

Room tour 2015

I can see clearly now!

Made on Polyvore. 

Corner of my desk. Jewellery tree from Menu, various small trinket boxes, two acrylic boxes from Søstrene Grene and jewellery drawers from Jysk.

Made on Polywore.

I like to think my taste in furniture has changed a lot over the past few months. I like it clean and simple. No overly bright colours and too much cluttering up. I also like natural. I've seen a lot of people using tree stumps and pieces as coffee tables or bedside tables. And home made concrete candle holders. (Tutorial can be seen here from my favourite home blog. The post is in Danish but I'm sure you can find English tutorials too)

I think liking the way your space - whether it's a room, a flat, a house - is one of the most important things to be able to relax. And also if it's clean and tidy, I find it easier to think. Clean room, clean mind. And since it's a new year, why not try and spice up your place? 

Clean out your wardrobe and drawers. Get rid of things you never use or wear. Throw out what's damaged too much to be donated, ask if any friends or family want any of your things. Buy some fresh plants. Have a cleaning day. Open your windows for a few hours to let the fresh air in.

I love - raw crystal jewellery

I don't think it's any secret that I fecking love raw crystals. And I can safely say I've gotten a little neat collection. The only downside to this obsession is that it's so hard to find some okay priced ones. I live in Denmark, where if I buy from outside Europe, it can't go over 80 kr ($14/£8) before the risk of import taxes can be added (which, may are add, are insane!) And sometimes the shipping is just ridiculous.

BUT!

I found this lovely seller on eBay, and I was sold. The first picture was unfortunately (not for me, hehe) a one of a kind, but the two after can still be found on the shop. Shipping was fast, it's from Australia, I live in Denmark and it took maybe 1½ weeks. I can highly recommend!

The two last ones were from a DIY I did not long ago. Check it out here if you haven't seen that already! The seller for the crystals is in that post as well.

I thought about giving advice on how to style them, but I'm not fashion expert or anything, and I really wear them with whatever I wish. So you can ROCK (get it, crystals, rocks, hahahaha?!?!?) however you like!

DIY: Crystal necklace

You'll need:

Metal thread, crystals (with holes in), a chain, pair of scissors, super glue and a.. jewellery.. thing..

How you do it:

Cut chain to desired length

Cut a piece of metal thread, rather cut it too long than too short!

Add chain to the thread

Make a loop around the chain to secure it

Tighten it

Cut off excess thread and put into the crystal and add a drop of super glue. Repeat on the other side!

Final product:

If you're giving this as a present, find a cute box, put some kind of lining in and bam! Looks very pretty and they will be shocked when you say you made it yourself

I love crystal necklaces and it's super easy to make! Christmas is around the corner, it makes an adorable present. And who doesn't love a home made present? It's personal and you spend time doing it! So I hope you can use this little quick DIY. I had fun making it!

Where to get crystals: Ebay, I got mine from this seller. Else markets, craft shops.
