Cut the solid-color fabric into three pieces: a 17x17-inch front and two 10x17-inch back pieces. Cut the four ruffle fabrics into 2½x35-inch strips. You need nine of these.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Turn the 10x17-inch pieces wrong side up. Fold one of the 17-inch edges over 1/4 inch, then again 1/2 inch. Iron folds. Do this with one side of each piece. (This will be your finished edge and the opening to slip your pillow form into the sham.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">3. On each fabric strip, sew a gather stitch 1/4 inch from one long edge. Gather to be 17 inches long. Pin a gather strip onto the right side of the front piece, positioning it 5/8 inch up from the bottom. Sew, following the line of the gather stitch. Continue pinning and sewing on strips to within 3/8 inch of the top of the front piece.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Finish sewing the pillow sham. Lay the front piece ruffle side up and the back pieces right side down so they overlap slightly. Pin the outer edges and sew the pillow together with a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Turn right side out, iron, and stuff the pillow form into the sham. Finish by hand-stitching the opening closed.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2ktC3dYiuKDJ-ybDTdAjbkX_hPg8AXsBwa-dfOSGGK0tEqaGTgo9YoDuXxACY0elRqESDU4YmwZCf8V8cErsjyxMuyHpOlJ0Ua1fVCBgWqeRJf8Oee7q70mI3qO_iRvdWu0Utv6_3At4/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Wall Art That Wows</b></span></span><br />In the <a data-ls-seen="1" href="https://www.blogger.com/null">living room</a>, inexpensive frames around scraps of <a data-ls-seen="1" href="https://www.blogger.com/null">wallpaper</a> embellish the mantel.<br /><b>DIY Tip:</b> Try fabric, wrapping paper, or even linens for another twist on this budget friendly artwork.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLnHuzR09H1ttX6Eor-xHyK2kQUm4Y7YXk3m3LefaEUalZRl5HiutIXeTF5cbPh10pm3qFZXKTAt_JBR-PxA8kB20YWrvAsFZdXuJW05m7YbTs1xM5jVH9G5nmIvDN6lVeukP3jl_1508/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange;"><b>TV Time</b></span></span><br />To combat the cold, electronic look of her TV, the homeowner found an ornate frame that fit the room's feel.

Make papier mache mixture: Stir together 1 part white glue with 1 part water.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">3. Coat paper strips in the glue mixture and form over a bowl covered in plastic wrap. Apply two to four layers of paper. Let dry.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Remove plastic wrap and bowl.

The green marble found a new home as a walkway in her garden.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;"><b>DIY Tip: </b></span>A downed sycamore in the homeowner's neighborhood became fireplace art. Corral cut logs with colorful fabric strips and you have an instant art piece.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoWRs7TQbQ3H5d2fuTNBTHPSyhpeRMoiqn2O-HBuU1BVQ7qezjOCRB9DR2WKSeKMPdfWvo0ifhmhDL3aKPBUrnwMlPh59BAPkRNeys6MTa-9vQWytQh-8UjPaugDYatHcrWIp2Hm4jRD9_/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Too Cute Kitchen</b></span></span><br />The homeowner stapled fabric scraps to canvas stretchers from the crafts store to fashion <a data-ls-seen="1" href="https://www.blogger.com/null">wall art</a>. To protect her plaster walls, she used 3M Command mounting strips to hang each piece. Below the art display is the dining room table she and her mom repainted. A close look reveals lingering bits of blue paint. Fabric scraps make colorful coasters or an abstract table runner (see next slide for how to make your own).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-XszcT3uG0E5OK-4X7i3zSG5UrWLgzKub60NetoXZB06ATF6B0Kt699YDOZuhljU0sCOx2Y9VZAzmFakYtvINL_s5JKpMuje6rC4MWqDs6u5SWhVT2UVECdOU9Gl9TBBEX6xkhFvpH3A/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Make a Rag Rug Doily</b></span></span><br />A basic coiling technique is all it takes to turn skinny strips of fabric into a striking take on a doily.<br /><br />1. Cut or tear scrap fabric into thin strips. Roll them up bandana-style and coil into tight circles. Pin, then loosely stitch the coils together.<br />2. Customize! One circle works as a coaster. A few stitched together make a sweet centerpiece.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwMwU1eiXmuryKZN-a8qdtLR0ydz7hLzNDrw_yAka4KV88PnV0H4xQyqvKe7WHwdAmm-TLH7Cc_xvfkyQMzJo51jvViC7MZpdWaAvsMQAoG1LROBD0CkxCTzl8kPRrD3bIC2z06PNFnu6/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><br />You'd never guess this handsome buffet was once a baby's changing table. The homeowner whipped out her old standby  a can of matte black spray paint and updated its icky yellow <a data-ls-seen="1" href="https://www.blogger.com/null">color</a> to something much more mod. Replacing the hardware completed the look. The purple-tone art above is a <a data-ls-seen="1" href="https://www.blogger.com/null">wallpaper</a> sample wrapped around scrap board. A blooming bouquet of paper flowers creates dinner party ambiance and never wilts .<br /><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></section><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicpJicXIr6-v64jic9PjLyG93QjVULLHntJdr8k4RfB9XfU4hs7YHXSghAAFGsHbJtTZ2E8DrbbgMx1Ko5Kv_SAypAmjbpbhJLR8Z0XrC7Ukqd7cCCZqtqQkH2pauzHJnwjK53St7CkU4r/s640/creative-Home-With-Handmade-Touches-2013-Decorating-Ideas-House-Tours-from-BHG.jpg" width="480" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="heading2"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Be Our Guest</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">The homeowner uses leftover and remnant <a data-ls-seen="1" href="https://www.blogger.com/null">wallpaper</a> to add fresh personality and seasonality to her guest bedroom.
