They are also a good idea as a cat toy, as they will enjoy playing with them, and are cheaper than purchasing them.

Wall Tidies
If you are a more functional person who likes something with more purpose, a wall tidy is a great idea. It is guaranteed to test your DIY abilities, but the result is very useful for storage, whether they are used for bathroom essentials, to store shoes or organize toys. They will free up space and avoid over-cluttering of the household. They can hide away quite well too as they can be hung inside wardrobes or behind doors, allowing more floor space. The process to make them may be longer than others but making each pocket and attaching it to a larger material is an easy method and is bound to get you into a routine.
Floral Crowns
Floral Crowns are a lovely accessory for festivals, or simply if you are connected to nature. They can also be used for other things, not just to be worn around the head. Floral crowns would make a nice decorative piece around a fruit bowl or could even be used as a wreath to hang somewhere around the house. This is a nice and interesting way of displaying nature within the home. As you can use fake flowers, you don’t have to worry about withering. Here, you can have a look at the ranges of different artificial flowers.
