Small ideas big impact
29 January 2010
To decorate a house / our house doesn’t have to be complicated, or even expensive … It all begins with a couple of little things here and there, that will make you want to go further.
The magazine “Maison Creative asked me to follow this path on four pages of easy and quick ideas. Here are a few examples.
Boxes and lids left aside were covered with nice printed paper. Or how a match box became a little jewelry box.
In the kitchen baby milk boxes have a new use.
You will find more ideas in the january / february issue, now in the news kiosk.
Thanks to Sandrine Debruyne and Karine Villame of Maison Creative.

I had promised to the ones who has no printer or a temperamental one, that I will find a solution : I printed the 24 patterns from my Avent calendar so they can buy it if they want…
Colours are bright and the size which is a little bigger than A4 (22 x 30 cm) will take part in any DIY project…
I was thinking to use them to cover my books. I found this idea on this picture. I am sorry because I can’t remember where it comes from…
I finally found out that this picture comes from this lovely blog. Thanks to Tove !

I know I promised to give you idea of how to use the pattern you download each day till Christmas.
But time is flying by, and did not let me post any, so here is one taken from my book : “Cartes, faire-part et billets doux” :
- Take off gently the wrapping paper around the chocolate, so you can use is as a model for the new one that you will cut out from a nice printed pattern. Then close it with a bit of glue.
It’s such a piece of cake, that it doesn’t matter if you do it at the last minute… It will be the perfect final touch on your Christmas table !

Green dots look like little peas, right? So I thought that if I mix them up with some carrots and bacon, it would make a yummy design!

I would never have imagine such a success for my Advent Calendar! Questions are overflowing from my mailbox. Since I’m lacking of time to answer each of them separatly, I’ll do it here.
- Fifi, I’ve missed yesterday’s pattern, can you send it to me by email please?
- Sincerely, I whish I could, but my days last only 24 hours. In which I have to manage my daily work, creating one pattern a day, getting ready for Christmas, taking care of my little girl, and so much more, so there is no time left…
- Fifi, why the patterns are downloadable for one and only day?
- Because it makes the gift only more valuable!
- Fifi, I can’t download today’s pattern, is it normal?
- Well no, it’s not. It’s a pdf file, and everybody should be able to have it. I don’t how every computer works, so I am not able to give you the reason of this problem. It seems some anti-virus prevent the donwload from working, but I don’t know more about that…
- Fifi, for those who don’t have a printer could you sell printed patterns?
- That’s a great idea! I could print them on a nice paper, it would be a nice set. I’ll take care of that as soon as 2009 is over, I promise!
- Fifi, what can I do with these patterns?
- Many things ! wrapping paper, enveloppes, origamis, paper hen, garlands. If you lack of inspiration, you will find help in the category “Surprise to do”. If I have some time I’ll add some more …
- Fifi, I have the right to do what with the designs?
- Whatever you want ! The only condition is that it stay for your private use. Of course commercial use in forbidden.
- Fifi, can I use those patterns for the banner or background of my blog?
- It’s a tricky one, because I’d like to say yes to each one who kindly asked me, but since it’s a question I often came across, I fear they might be seen too often. I will stick to the private use, and to the fact that a blog is a public place, and I answer no. I hope you will understand …
- Fifi, do you plan to do the same thing next year ?
- Oh la la ! It’s way too far! I don’t even know what I’ll be doing next week-end, so how can I answer this question?
