Hello everyone! Today I want to leave a couple links and ideas about how to make a simple and inexpensive diy travel push pin map with one of my maps.

I have maps printed on paper here:

blursbyaishop.com (we ship to the US personalized items), Society6, posters in Redbubble, Pictorem, UKposters…

and maps printed on canvas here:

You can make a push pin map with either of them.

Here’s a video showcasing 10 easy ways to make a push pin map for marking travels (English audio/English subs):

Spanish audio/English subs (The one that speaks in this one is me!)

Let’s write down all the options, shall we?

#1: A print on paper + thin EVA foam + a frame

#2: A map print on paper + foamboard + a frame

Here’s a post from a few years ago where I made a rustic-looking world map push pin map with a frame, a map paper print, and foamboard.

#3: A map print on paper + thick layer of corkboard + a frame

#4: A map print on paper + a frame that’s backed with cardboard (An IKEA one in this case) + an extra cardboard

#5: A map canvas print + thin EVA foam

#6: A map canvas print + thick EVA foam

#7: A map canvas print + thin corkboard

#8: A map canvas print + rigid corkboard tiles

#9: A map print on paper + a commercial framed corkboard

#10: A map printed on rolled canvas (unstretched) + a frame + foamboard

Bonus #1: A print on paper + a frame that’s backed with foamboard.

This is an option if you are looking for a size that’s 41×27″ or smaller. You need a map printed on paper and a frame that is backed with foamboard like these from Frameusa.

Push pins for your map.

I’ve gathered some recommended shops for purchasing push pins here.

As always, I’m right here if you have any questions:

I’m back today to put a spotlight on another one of my collections that’s really been making me smile lately: my Abstract Colorful Oil Texture Collection. This collection is all about capturing the beauty and energy of abstract oil textures and bringing it into your everyday life.

The collection currently features a vibrant green camo texture, a sweet and soft rose texture, a calming aquamarine texture, and let me tell you – I’ve got more exciting colors in the pipeline. The beauty of abstract textures is in the eye of the beholder, and I aim to cater to as many eyes as possible!

Now, let’s talk products. This collection is anything but limited. From rugs to bedding, Apple Watch bands to blankets, cushions, shower curtains, tablecloths, wall murals – you name it, and there’s probably a product featuring these bold oil textures. The idea is to provide a wide range of items, so everyone can find a way to bring these unique designs into their space.

All these items are available in my Society6 shop (worldwide shipping and frequent discounts). So head over there and explore the variety of ways you can infuse your home, wardrobe, and life with vibrant, abstract energy.

I can’t wait for you to experience the joy these designs have brought me.

See you soon!

About a month ago I spotted these golden frames at Primark and immediately knew I wanted to create something special with them.

So I went home and sketched an idea…

What if I combined 12 frames to craft a holiday wall art centerpiece? I quickly returned to Primark to purchase the frames. Given that my local Primark is on the smaller side, I was concerned they might run out of the frames I needed. I was set on the gold color, though they also offer these frames in white and black.

So this is the process of making the frame structure itself:

I used two kinds of glue (Loctite super glue 3 and contact glue), a stapler, craft clamps, acetone (for cleaning any contact glue drips) and cotton ear buds.

This is exactly what I was envisioning. The 12 frames would act both as a centerpiece and as a backdrop for some of my holiday decor and the yummy treats I like to display on top of that console. By the way, that credenza was made by my dad! He was a carpenter, so I asked him for a custom credenza with the only requirement that the Ikea drawers (the ones that fit inside their Kallax series shelving) fit mine as well.

What do you think so far? Would you do something like this yourself?

Then it was time to think about what to display as art. It needed to be something clean, minimalistic, and not busy since I was going to display items near and around the frames. So I opted for geometric snowflakes, which I made just for this occasion.

I also used 6 command stripes to fix the whole piece to the wall; Easy to use and easy to remove, these are the best.

For those interested, I’ve curated a geometric snowflakes collection here in my society6 shop. I’ve uploaded various compositions, including a playful scattered pattern and a piece featuring all 12 snowflakes. Soon, I’ll be adding individual designs for each of the 12 snowflakes.

Fancy the printable files for these snowflakes in an 8×10″ format? Simply subscribe to my newsletter and choose either “All” or “Holiday & Christmas” as your topic of interest. As a token of appreciation, I’ll send all 12 printable designs straight to your inbox, free of charge.

That wraps things up for now. If you’re looking for me, I’ll be rummaging through my storage, fetching all the holiday decorations…

And other holiday goodies are ready for the holiday season in my Minted store. We have matching customizable gift tags and stickers!

I want to recommend a recipe for easy homemade bread that don’t require kneading.

It’s the Easy italian no-knead bread recipe by Emma Fontanella. I’ve made this bread 4 or 5 times in the last month. It’s so good and it doesn’t require any work.

I did use my mixer, though. Just for mixing the ingredients and because it is my favorite bowl for proofing doughs.

I don’t own a dutch oven, but I was able to bake the loaf in my cast aluminium pot. It has a glass and metal lid that can go into the oven, so no problem.

The result was delicious! Amazing crunch! Hear this:

And an amazing crumb:

If you are in the market for no-knead bread, I’d say give this recipe a try. It’s totally worth it.

Today, I’m going to show you various ways to decorate a small tabletop Christmas tree, standing at 60 cm (around 23.6 inches) in height, with budget-friendly ornaments.

We’ll begin with a Christmas tree nestled in a decorative velvet green planter, adorned with simple warm white fairy lights. Let’s dive into three creative options to transform this tiny tree into a festive centerpiece.

For our first option, let’s create a floral-themed tree. Use white flower-shaped ornaments with feathers and a touch of glitter. These delicate floral accents will give your mini Christmas tree an elegant and whimsical feel. Add a few faux flower picks to complete the look.

Those flower ornaments are from Pepco (a home and clothing company in Europe).

Our second option embraces the natural winter theme. Decorate your mini tree with snow-covered pinecones and white berry picks. The frosted pinecones add a rustic touch, while the white berries provide a wintery contrast.

The little white picks and the frosted pinecones are from Pepco. The large white picks are from Eminza.

For those who prefer a touch of traditional red, our third option involves a natural red-themed tree.

Use red berry picks (from El Corte Inglés and Pepco) and pomegranate-shaped ornaments (from Tedi), both in vibrant red hues. This combination radiates a cozy, festive atmosphere that’s perfect for the holiday season. Your mini Christmas tree will become a cheerful focal point in any room.

Bonus!

This was my Christmas tree last year: It had white glittery stars in two sizes that I got from Tedi.

With these creative and budget-friendly ideas, you can transform your small tabletop Christmas tree into a delightful holiday centerpiece. Happy decorating!

If you love decorating like I do, I bet you already have lots of small picks and ribbons bought. Here’s a simple way to put them to use this year as small accents throughout the house.

Start with two similar picks or two of the same design. Then add something else to break the symmetry – I used tiny picks with white berries. Next, tie a knot or a little bow with ribbon. Mine is green velvet ribbon.

You’re done!
