DIY Starburst Decor: Make it Monday
Make this lovely "Starburst Wall Decor" for any Room of your house!
The lovely wall piece is not only Contemporary and modern, it is Under 8$!!!
Easy on Budget but high on Style, what's better than that!
All you need is:
1. Wooden Skewers- 2 sizes 1 packet each
2. Cork Trivet (Size 8" or more)
3. Glue
4. Cardboard Cut in Round shape (Diameter as you desire preferably 8" or more) and Aluminium Foil OR Silver Paint (or any other color you like) OR Round Cake base (You can use old one in case you saved it)!!
The Steps-
Gather your Materials, I used a saved Round cake base, I gave it a fresh coat of silver paint to hide the knife marks.
If you are using cardboard you can either crush the foil and then paste it over your base or directly paint the cardboard with metallic paint.
Next decide how many points you want, mark points on your cork so that you get an even design, you can make it more scattered or more compact, then Alternate your large and small skewers to create the pattern,
First dip pointed side the skewer in glue and then just insert in the cork. Maintain the size that you insert in cork so that you have same sized rays.
Glue the silver plate to the cork trivet.
Let it all dry completely,I liked the natural look of skewers so I kept it that way, you can also paint them if you like,
I used Picture Command strips to hang mine,
You are done!

"Round Coffee Table" : Trendy Tuesday - Home Decor Ideas
Why to Choose a "Round Coffee Table"?
Well it totally depends upon your personal style and choice. But there are a few thing that you should know about round coffee tables
Round coffee tables add flow to your room the round edges
aid movement. There is more negative space as compared to a square or
rectangular table. If you have a comparatively smaller room it helps to break
that ‘narrow space feel’.
It also is a ‘Visual Contrast’ to the most rectangular or
squarish items like the rug and sofa or the even the cushions in your living
area. So they are great if you want to add a bit of variety in your room.
Round tables make the space cozy and more inviting,
especially if you like to make the space conversational and more informal. The
table is easily accessible to every person.
Another advantage could be it can save you from bumping into
sharp edges especially if you have kids you don’t have to worry about those
sharp corners!
1. Redwood Coffee Table
This rustic redwood table is perfect for a natural rugged look. The good thing is that it will look great both in modern white interior space or a more traditional style decor. This is great for a cozy and warm look and feel.
2. Marble Coffee Table
Marble table will also bring in the natural elements but the cold stone is more for a shiny bright modern contemporary space.
3. Glass Coffee Table
This is perfect for a modern look or for a small space where the transparency will keep the space airy without cramping it up.
4. Metallic Gold Coffee Table
If you want to add that extra glamour to your space, this golden shiny table is a perfect pick to add that glam without any fear.
5. Storage White Coffee Table
If you want your table to be functional, then this one is for you, you can either use it as permanent storage or as a last minute tidy-up secret!
6. Rattan Coffee Table
This one is great for a earthy rustic mood, the lovely hand-woven detail adds texture and the natural appeal to it. It is also light-weight.

Modern. Kitchen. Decor.
1. Use a Pendant Light
A unique and lovely piece of pendant light will add the much needed glamour to your kitchen area. Pick some thing minimal for a modern touch, you can also add something with a bright color tone. Use warm light bulb for the ambiance. This can go over the dining table or over an island if you have one.
2. Kitchen Art
Yes you got that right, Art is not just for the bedrooms and living areas, kitchen specific art will add so much charm. You can pick anything from quotes to photographs of spices or fruits.
3. Grow Herbs
If you have a bit of natural light coming in add some edible greens to the space. Use mini pots or glass jars to grow herbs. They are not that difficult to maintain with a little care, and you have them at hand whenever you are making that herb infused drink or a dish.
4. Use Clear Storage
Clear glass bottles and jars add so much dazzle to the everyday kitchen essentials, Be it clear glass bottles for oils or jars for the grains or mini bottles for the spices, they would all look beautiful in them. And one more plus is the ease to find them without any unnecessary labeling.

Here are some more Easy and fun Fall/Autumn DIYs!
But First...
How to Easily Remove Labels from Glass Bottles
I Re-use glass bottles for a lot of craft projects plus I also reuse them for refilling and storage.
They are safe and look good!
But sometimes it is really hard to get that label off, here are a few tips that have worked for me, believe me I have done this hundreds of times and there is no "ONE magic tip", but One of these will surely work.
Now on to the Crafts...
Candle Holders
Materials:
Clean Glass Bottles
Ribbon
Simple, just tie the ribbon to the bottle neck!...
Twig Tree
Materials:
Natural twigs
Twine
Glass Bottle
Burlap Piece
Small Size Hand Cut or Punched Colorful Fall leaves
Craft Glue
Wrap the burlap around the bottle and tie with the twine to make the vase. Wash the twigs and let dry, color them/varnish if you want to. Place glue dots on the twigs, just randomly glue the leaves, let dry.
Tie the twigs together with twine if needed. That's it you are done!

- Fill the bottle with hot water without wetting the outside, leave for about 20 minutes, remove the label.
- First simply remove the label as much as you can, once you have just the white part remaining, generously apply vegetable oil to it, leave for a few hours, the label will come off easily, wash with hot water.
- Soak the bottle in hot water in a larger container, add a few drops of dish soap and 1/4 cup baking soda, leave for an hour or so, then wash.
- First remove the label as much as you can, mix equal parts of baking soda and vegetable oil, apply the paste to the label, let it sit for about an hour or so, wipe off with a paper towel, wash with hot water.
