Today’s post in a guest post by Laura Tuero, Content & Social Media Director of Color Vivo, from where she manages and writes for various blogs such as Decoration 2.0.

From the Decoration 2.0 blog we are delighted to collaborate with DIY and something else.. through our practical home decor DIY tutorials. Knitting, sewing and even sanding and painting are some of the things you will learn with them.
And it is that, we are sure that organizing everything in its place and making the most of the space at home without forgetting the aesthetic part is possible. You just have to show your will and a bit of imagination to make some custom crafts, accessories and furniture like the ones we propose below in our practical decoration DIY tutorials.
How to make scented cloth bags
Do you remember those little cloth bags that our grandmothers had in their closets and that ended up with the smell of sealing, leaving a sweet and natural aroma? It is a custom that has been replaced by chemical air fresheners and it is a shame!
For this reason, we suggest you make your scented cloth bags that you can use inside and outside the closets as long as you select some beautiful fabrics and achieve an ideal finish depending on the decoration of each space.
In the following video you can see the step by step and you can also consult the post about scented cloth bags if you have any questions about the materials used, sizes…
Knit a blanket for the sofa
It is clear that today in stores like IKEA, Primark or other decoration stores, we can find a wide range of colors, sizes and textures to get a blanket for the sofa, and also very cheap! However, if you’ve ever used a wool blanket, you’ll truly know that you won’t find such warmth in any other blanket.
That is why we have decided to make our own and we propose you to knit a blanket for the sofa with your own hands following the tips that you will find in our post.
How to make round fabric baskets
One way to store all those knickknacks that spoil the decoration is through baskets and storage sites. In the hollows of the shelves, on the desk, in the sideboard… in all these places we need to leave or store things. And what better way to make a custom storage space for every corner of our home than to make beautiful fabric baskets ourselves with a matching pattern?

Another good option to have your own multipurpose baskets as storage systems is tejeros, as we have done in this other tutorial. If you don’t have a sewing machine and you know how to knit, opt better for this way of making baskets to organize the house.
Cushion tutorial with fabric and without zipper
An element that brings warmth to spaces such as sofas, armchairs, chairs and beds are cushions. However, it is usually an element that we leave for last and it is difficult to find the ideal colors and patterns for this last decorative point of our stay.
In addition, it is an element that we can easily change at any time to give a different look to our decoration. So, if you don’t have any cushions or you’re tired of them… in this tutorial we tell you how to make cushion covers with fabric and without a zipper.
Cross-stitch embroidery tutorial with wool
Another way to make cushions is by weaving, just like we did with the blanket for the sofa. In this tutorial we show you how to customize a knitted cushion with a cross-stitch embroidery with wool. You can write words, phrases or put simple pictures and symbols. You can also apply it to blankets, sweaters or other hand-knitted items.
