DIY Leather tags

You know I have a thing going on with leather, right? Now that I'm packing for our upcoming holiday that starts tomorrow I had to share this beautiful leather tags that I found via Almost makes perfect. Not quiet sure if I will have enough time to do it for this holiday but I will definitely make them once I'm back so I can use them in a future getaway.
If you want to make them yourself, find how here.
I will be back soon with more pictures from the city that never sleeps.
Have a great thursday!

Time to build and paint your own world

The holidays season is just around the corner! And isn't this globe just a beautiful Christmas gift?  

I love to travel and if you also love it as much as I do, there's no way you won't love the Paper Globe. 

The globe is a neat and beautiful interior item. Not only you can color and draw all the places you've visited, you can also use it as a geography tool. Another plus is that you can easily grab it and dream about your next destination. I definitely do that!!!

The globe has been designed for Geografia by the Japanese duo from the Drill Design studio. 

Beside the basic sectional globe, you can find other globes with different shapes, sizes and materials. I must say, less is more and I love this one the most! 

Here you can see where in your neighbourhood you can buy one or if you prefer you can make it yourself. The French graphic designer Joachim Robert just designed a template and shows here how you can make it! Enjoy and have a great weekend! 

 

You don't need to use glue or scissors!

The Greatest Candle in the World - DIY

DIY of the week - Candles made out of used cooking oil

 

How often do we throw some used kitchen oil away?And how often do we know how this oil is gonna be treated afterwards? We all know about the impact - that used cooking - oil has on the environment right?


The Portuguese Mario Silva came up with the idea of creating candles from used oil, while he was working as a strategic planner on a multinational manufacturer of cooking oils. His purpose was to inspire people by using something they would waste, into something they could enjoy a bit longer and if this would help the environment than his goal had been definitely achieved.

So why don't we give it a try?

Found how to do this candles on the video below.

Beside the used cooking oil you will need some candle powder that you can buy Here. Follow the instructions in the video and voilá! Your candle is done within 2 minutes. And you will have 30 hours of candle lightning pleasure.

If you don't feel like doing it yourself  and you want to help the environment anyway you can also buy them Here. Wishing you a great weekend!
