Glueing, cutting, sewing, stencilling… you name it, we had it this year on Polka Dot Made! Now if you’re a keen DIYer but you missed some posts, here’s a little “best of” to keep you busy over the festive period. Just remember to avoid the stapling gun if you’ve had a couple of wines!

I love this project. The moss gives this an organic, earthy feel and you can use the letters to spell out anything you like. Customize with the colour and type of ribbon you use to hang them up. Gorgeous!

Another organic substance – paper. Easy to shape, bend, manipulate and make beautiful projects like this out of. I’d love these strung up with fairy lights too.
