"Always have a Beach scarf with you" part 1.

Someone mentioned to me that I seem to be a little obsessed with beach scarfs. Well I have to tell you, it is true. I've got quite a few of them, because they are so useful! I love them. They have nice colours, they are light, easy to store, to travel with and in the end I always need them for something.

Moving to a new apartment? Traveling around the world?  Vacation? Always have some beach scarf with you. Here's why:

1. First of all, you can use them on the beach as a beach towel. Wow...amazing. :)

2.  When you are done with the splish splash and look like a crab you can just wrap yourself into it, and there you have your new beach dress. (Actually you can also use it as a towel, but if the sun is shining you don't even need to do that)
/oh and sorry for the model, she didn't know she would be a model one day :)/

Dress

Talking about the dress. There are like a thousand ways to wear a beach scarf as a dress. I will not show them here, but believe me the possibilities are almost endless. Maybe in another post. ;)

3. You can decorate your home with them. Use them as table cloth....

4. ...or protect your couch with them...

5. ...no time for shopping? The curtains are too expensive lately? Or just none of them fits your ideas? No problem. Use your beach scarf!

6. Oh this looks so nice! I like the colour and the prints.....alright...so put them to your wall!

6. Too many pillows but not enough pillow covers? (am I alone with this issue??? o_O)

7. Use them for anything!! You can wrap into beach scarf your whole house if you want. :) Cover your sofa, bed, chairs, walls...anything you want.

8. Seriously the list is endless. The good thing about it, you don't need to sew anything. All you need is a few pins, and sometimes not even that. You can just put knots onto them. And if you are bored of the colour, you can just change them, ore use them for something else. They are convertible. :D

Jewelry holder


As I mentioned, we just moved here. So what we don't have is: decoration or holders.  ANY holder. No toothbrush holder, fruit basket, shoe holder...etc. 

But, what bothers me most? My earrings. They are just in a box all tangled together. I can't see them trough, I can not decide wich one to wear day by day because I cannot see them. It is annoying! And I have a small collection already which came with me. :) Yes...women..I know. Never mind. The point is....to buy an eaaring holder is not a priority....I get it. So I make some for myself. The other part of the story is that we have heaps of boxes. New furniture and stuff....:) 

Here is the deal. All you need is:

A flat box

 Any textile, i like to use beachtowels for everything. :)

 Some pins.


Step 1: You cover the box with the textile. Nice and colourful. You can even fix it with some pins on the top. 

Step 2: You pin all your stuff to it. You can hang your earrings to the pin. And necklaces and so on.


And "Voilá!"


Actually this box conception has various use in our home right now. We use it as 

...nightstand...


...info board...



PS.: If you do not have any box, but you have some nails, net-type textile and you are willing to abuse your walls, you might choose this option as well. :)
