Winter at the hut
A chalet in the mountains, snow-covered landscapes and in the fireplace the fire patters. This cottage magic feeling, we can easily get home - with these 6 DIY ideas.
You need it for the cuddly corners :
- bright fleece blanket
- about 5 different fabrics in the hut look (department store)
- fabric glue
- tape measure
- fabric scissors
- pins
- Iron
- Sewing machine and matching yarn
And that's how easy it is:
1. Measure the length and width of the ceiling.
2. Cut different widths, but equal rectangles, from the fabrics, so that the total length corresponds to the ceiling circumference. For each side calculate 1 cm seam allowance.
3. Always put the rectangles together right to right, put together one edge and sew. Continue like this until you have 4 stitched patchwork stripes at the end.
4. Turn the open edges on the strip to the rear, pin and iron.
5. Stick the 4 strips to the ceiling and stitch the edges.
6. For decoration individual motifs can be cut out of the fabric (here the heart) and glued with textile glue.
What you need for the printed mug:
- double-sided adhesive tape
- white cup
- red porcelain pencil (eg porcelainpainter from Marabu)
- Computer + + printer paper
- scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Print the motif.
2. Cut out the motif with the scissors and glue it onto the cup with double-sided adhesive tape.
3. Trace the outline with the porcelain mark pen.
4. Remove the paper and paint the design with the pen. If necessary, fix the color in the oven according to the manufacturer's instructions.
What you need for the tablet:
- Wooden board 30 x 50 cm
- red acrylic paint

- Cushion inset 40 x 60 cm
- Velcro for sewing and self-adhesive (about 60 x 3 cm)
- pencil
- brush
- fabric scissors
- pins
- Sewing machine and matching yarn
- sewing needle
And that's how easy it is:
1. Using a pencil, draw a tendril in a corner of the wooden board and paint it with the acrylic paint. Let dry.
2. On one half of the fabric on the right side, sew 2 strips of velcro tape (about 30 cm long) in the middle.
3. Fold the strip of fabric right to right, creating an area of 42 x 61 cm.
4. Sew the open sides together except one, then turn the fabric and insert the tick.
5. Sew up the open side by hand.
6. To make sure the wood panel is centered on the cushion, remove the tape from the Velcro tape, and then press the panel correctly aligned with the cushion .
You need this for the basket :
- Fabric with hut motif
- gray felt (82 x 30 cm, thickness approx. 2 mm)

- fabric glue
- tape measure

- Cutter with cutting pad
- Sewing machine and matching yarn

And that's how easy it is:
1. Cut out any hut motif from the patterned fabric (here a heart).
2. On the gray felt strips, draw the outline of the newly cut hut motif (the heart) and cut it out with the cutter.
3. Now glue the patterned motif with textile adhesive into the newly cut window.
4. Now fold the felt strip right to right and sew the short ends with the sewing machine. (if necessary, flatten the seam with the iron)
5. Cut the bottom of dark gray felt (26.5 cm) and pin it to the sewn hose using pins. Sew on the ground. Turn fabric to the right.
6. Sew the checkered ticking in the same way, but do not turn right. The upper edge is folded over 2 cm on the left side (to iron it over once). Insert the inlet into the felt basket and turn the edge outwards.
