They are then simply framed between two panes of glass and can decorate not only the wall, but also the window or any other area. You can put together a colorful mix of flowers or make an even simpler decoration yourself by placing one and the same type of flower in the glass.

Crafts for adults – decorating mirrors
For this oneDIY SpiegelYou can either get a new one in the shape you want or cut an old one into the shape of an octagon. To do this, you use a special knife called a glass cutter. You will need a metal ruler and sharpie, gloves and safety glasses, as well as sandpaper and the diagram in the following image to transfer the pattern. You create the pattern of stripes using contact paper, an X-Acto knife, and gold and transparent spray paint.
To cut to size, use all protective materials such as glasses and gloves and position the ruler so that you first form a square (if desired, mark it first with Edding). Make a cut with the glass cutter. The glass does not fall off straight away. Instead, you need to place the excess edge of the glass over the edge of the table and press down. The piece then breaks off perfectly. After you finish the square, cut the other corners too until you get an octagon. You can sand the sharp edges with sandpaper.
Then clean the surface with normal glass cleaner. Now cover the mirror with contact paper. Use the Sharpie to draw the pattern from the diagram onto this paper. The lines should be made a little wider. Then cut them out with the X-Acto knife and remove the paper where the strips are, revealing the mirror in those places. Now spray the entire surface a few times with the gold color. Then a transparent layer is added to seal the color. Now the contact paper is removed. With the help of the knife you can lift the corners and then easily peel off the paper. The attractive DIY decoration is ready!
Tassels as DIY wall decoration
Whether made of wool, leather or another material, tassels are simply friendly and pretty to look at. That's why they are also very suitable as wall decoration. If you would like to make this decoration yourself, you will need tasselscraft yourselfor you can buy it ready-made. You will also need cord made of wool, leather or another material that you used for the tassels, as well as a wooden stick and wooden beads and spray paint in any color (black in this example).
Place the wooden balls on kebab skewers and spray them with the wooden stick in the selected color. The string should be chosen in the same color unless you want to make a colorful decoration yourself. Once the paint has dried, follow the instructions for tying the beads and tassels and hang the finished decoration on the wall, door or window.
Simple and creative craft ideas
Creative ideas can be made from a variety of things. Spruce up an old tray or create a brand new one by framing a wooden tray and then decorating it with colorful confetti. All you need is Mod Podge. You first distribute this on the tablet surface using a brush. Then add a layer of confetti, which you carefully press down with your hands. The whole thing is then sealed with more Mod Podge, which you simply pour onto the tray. Of course, the amount of Mod Podge you need depends on the tray size. Two pieces were needed for this example. Do not shake the liquid before using it as this will cause unsightly bubbles. Allow the glue to cure for at least 24 hours.

The idea is also great as a decoration for the fireplace, as a wall decoration or as a gift.
