Home Decor Tips from Friends of Crafty Tips:
Ever thought of taking a pre-made trim or tassle apart? Many tassels are silk with gold threading. They're beautiful alone, but can also be used in a variety of other ways to get more variety & mileage out of them. By taking them apart, I instantly have loads of gold thread I would otherwise have to buy. Many times I'll sew many of them together end-to-end, twisting & turning, making a smooth "rope." Combining 2 or more colors together gives me a new multicolored tassel, which I often turn into "Chinese knots."

Jay Behrle's Wall Sculptures & Masks
Jay Behrle's Wall Sculptures & Masks

Add a bit of drama to any room with an original Jay Behrle contemporary wall sculpture or African- and Aztec-inspired masks. My inspiration comes from many sources but ancient cultures and relics influence much of my work.

Designing Crafty Tip
When I'm in Florida doing art shows in the winter, everyone says "the colors need to be brighter." When I'm in the Midwest during the summer art show season, they tell me to "be more traditional." Inspiration comes from multiple sources, but what's inside you is what matters most.
 
Listen to yourself first and foremost.

My Truck Leroy: Metal Star Candle Holders

We are two creative cousins making functional multimedia art and craft for the world to enjoy. We love Rosie . . .we can do it! And we do. We grind, bend, weld, cut, solder, sew, screw, glue, paint, sand, and create one of a kind pieces at affordable prices.We love combining elements that would normally not be paired with one another to create interesting and dynamic pieces that are all the while functional!

Metal Crafting Crafty Tip
When using a plasma torch to cut out items with the same general shape, make a jig out of plywood rather than trying to measure the shape out each time. Then take the general shape and make additional cuts/adjustments for individual items to make them unique. It may take more time up front to make the jig, but in the long run will save you a ton of time and make all of the shapes uniform.

Painting Crafty Tip
When it comes to art, it is most important to use the right paper. Even if the artwork is beautiful, bad quality paper will ruin everything. It's better to invest in good quality surfaces for the best outcome.
