Hope this helps you feel just a little more prepared to make it a magical Holiday for your kids (and yourself)!.
Some readers have asked me to write a post on the planning process for.the amazing built-ins.
that we’ve been starting to add to the house, so I thought I’d put together a few simple things to think about that will get you started in the right direction.. Measure Your Space: All Of It!.Even the smallest most insignificant bit of empty wall space can become a really beautiful and useful built in.Make sure that when you measure out your space, you go all the way up to the ceiling and right up to door ways or windows.
Every inch counts and makes a big difference.In Kennedy’s room, we even built right across a strangely angled wall and it made for some really good display shelves, and helped the room actually feel bigger and more of a normal shape..
Think About Skill Set, Comfort Level, and Available Tools.
These projects can be as simple or as complicated as you make them.Fold the top and the bottom of the napkin towards the center so they meet in the middle, and iron everything smooth before you fold it again.
Ironing between each step will ensure a crisp look to your bow.. Next, bring the two sides in so that they meet in the middle and iron your napkin one more time so that it’s crisp and holds its shape nicely.. Flip the napkin over to reveal the smooth side and hide the folds..Pinch the napkin in the centre.
I like the way it looks if you make sure that the fabric folds into a sort of “zig-zag” when you pinch it, with the most significant “dip” falling in the middle..If you like the way it looks, you can proceed to the next step, which will secure it in place and give your napkin a little bit of style.. Take a piece of wide ribbon, about five to six inches long.
