Winter is closing in, and undoubtedly that means quite a few cold, rainy days are in store. If you’re wondering how you’ll entertain yourself when it’s just too chilly and wet to venture outside of the house, then you’ve come to the right place. It’s the perfect time of year to take part in some craft projects, especially interior design projects which can brighten up the home in the darkest days. Here are some rainy days crafts to carry you through those long. cold days.
We have all the inspiration you need right here for your home craft projects. From photo frames to carriage clocks, personalising interior décor can really make a difference - everything looks better when it sparkles! Here are some ideas to get you started when it’s time to get creative and crafty.
RAINY DAYS CRAFTS
Winter Lantern
Candles can make a room feel really cosy, especially in the winter time when the dark nights start creeping in. Lanterns are really on trend at the moment, and what better way to make yours stand out than crystallising it. It’s super easy with our non-hotfix crystals and precision glue applicator syringe, and the result looks amazing!
You can choose any colour to crystallize your winter lantern, but we recommend smoked topaz for a warm, festive look. Why not choose a colour to complement the room you’ll be placing it in?
Carriage Clock
Want to make a carriage clock look a lot more luxurious and extravagant? You can do this by crystallizing the exterior. Covering the entire surface of the clock will really give it the wow factor - and make it look mega expensive. This is also a great project for keeping you occupied for a few weeks! Watch our video to help you create your crystallised carriage clock - it looks so professional that visitors will think you bought it that way.
Photo Frame
Picture frames hold our dearest memories - so why not make them even more personal by putting your creative stamp on the frame? Embellishing a photo frame is really easy and super effective. You can crystallize the frame entirely, or make designs such as flowers, palm trees or paw prints in the corners. You choose the colour and size of the crystals for your desired design.
Tip: You should be able to glue the crystal components to any surface or type of photo frame, but we think it looks extra effective on a mirrored frame.
