Brighten your life with a splash of hand-made style by turning everyday items into something beautiful with these 40 inspiring projects for the home.

Be inspired by master maker, Willow Crossley who will show you how to bring a touch of hand-made magic to your home by transforming everyday items into something beautiful with over 40 inspiring projects.

Make floral napkin rings, seasonal wreaths, Christmas baubles and vintage-fabric bunting to decorate your home. Learn how to create pictures from buttons and redesign your own pinboard with fabulous ribbons. Turn grain sacks into pillows, block print napkins and heart-shaped lavender bags, or make fabric-twisted bracelets, silk-trimmed straw hats, and simple linen aprons. Fashion your own fabric-covered books, make bath salts infused with lavender, and decorate coat hangers with fabric scraps.

Everything is simple to make, and you won't need any expert sewing or crafting skills, just a little patience and the desire to work some magic.
