DIY Designs For The Holidays

Thanksgiving has ended and the season of giving has begun. With the holidays coming around, make sure your home has all the right touches for your family traditions. If you want a customized touch to your decor, think about these DIY designs to make for your home.

FABRIC WREATHS

If you’d like to use some extra scrap fabric, consider making a fabric wreath. Not only will it be less cleanup than a fresh wreath, but it can be used for many holidays to come! Fabric wreaths are extremely easy to make and require no sewing. See how easy it is with this tutorial by Buy This Cook That.

HOLIDAY THEMED PILLOWS

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or another holiday, it’s simple to create a pillow that falls into the theme of your holiday.

It can be as simple as a color scheme or you can use a pattern. To combine simple and a theme, try red and white stripes for festive candy cane pillows!

CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS

Creating your own Christmas stockings could become a family tradition. DIY stockings would be unique, and fairly easy to make.

They will hold toys, trinkets and family memories. If you’re looking for a great tutorial to follow along with, check out this tutorial by Happy At Home.

TREE SKIRT

When decorating for the holidays, you can’t skip the Christmas tree skirt. By making this a DIY project, you get to choose what style you want that you may not be able to find at a store and adorn it with decorations like tassels, sequins, etc.

If you’re looking for the best patterns and colors, take a trip to Tucson-based Fabrics That Go. With holiday spirit abound, owners Claire and Bob love helping their Tucson community and have been doing so for 74 years. The staff at the store can help reupholster your furniture for the upcoming holiday festivities. While you’re there, talk to the helpful staff if you need advice on how to finish a DIY project.

Popular Fabric Styles For Your Living Room

Trying to figure out what your aesthetic is in your home is probably one of the hardest things when decorating – especially in your living room. This is what your guests will first see upon entering your home.

Whether you’re considering buying whole new furniture entirely, or you are ready to reupholster your old furniture, you’ll need to select the right fabric. Here are some popular fabric styles for your living room –

Spill-Proof Fabrics

Have you ever sat down with a glass of red wine and somehow gravity turned off and your wine ended up all over your couch? Stains on furniture can instantly date a piece and make it look older than it actually is.

Here are two types to consider, according to Southern Living.

Solids: Synthetic suede and faux velvet are typically polyester or a blend of polyester and nylon. What makes them great is that they look and feel real, but they repel moisture and can be cleaned easily with soap and water.

Patterns: Solution dyed acrylic can provide interesting and fun patterns. They also resist fading and staining, can be cleaned with bleach, and many can even be thrown in the wash.

Leather

Leather is another fabric that is easy to clean - possibly one of the easiest. If you have pets, it’s an even better option for your furniture. There is a downside though. The nature of leather is that it can and does wear out with time. If you have pets and they accidentally scratch the couch - that scratch will typically stay imbedded in the leather and become a part of it.

Vintage

If you’re into the vintage look, but you don’t necessarily want to have a chair that looks like you pulled it out of your grandparents’ garage, try keeping the pattern more on the neutral side. Stay away from traditional looking silhouettes when it comes to the furniture pieces to avoid dating the furniture even more.
