Decoration made of needle punch non-woven fabric

I think this sounds familiar to you isn´t? But if it doesn´t, then let me tell you that this is the fabric that you often use in your kitchen to clean. To be more specific, this fabric is called: needle punch non-woven fabric.




When I saw this fabric for the first time, I felt in love of the colors! Aren´t this soft colors sweet? I really really love them. I said immediately: I must buy looooooot of this! and the friend I was with said: why? do you have lot to clean at the kitchen?! haha :) she couldn´t see all the ideas I had in my head already. 

Well... as you know... I love to give other uses to things, so my brain start imagining all the things I could possible do with this. As soon as I arrived home I started working on them! Oh I couldn´t be more happy with the results! 

Look at one of them ;)



A nice welcome wreath. I think it look nice:) A bit rustic, but the soft colors of this fabric add it a nice touch. 


This is another idea for a wreath made of non-woven fabric.

Piñata time

Something you should never miss in a birthday party in my country is a piñata. There, there are many people who makes such things and for a very accessible price. Piñatas brings so much fun to a birthday party.

If you guys are in a place where piñatas are not such a common thing, why not surprising the guests by doing one yourself? or... if you are in a place where finding a piñata is not a difficult thing, you can also do it yourself just for fun!

You know that the most important gifts are not the ones you buy, but the ones you make yourself.


Its easy... but... it takes time... BUT ... at the end... IT COMPLETELY WORTH IT! ;) 

Here I show you the piñata I made for the 50´s birthday party of a special person.
