A Slow and Peaceful Studio Day: Cozy Crafting, Painting, and Decorating My New Bookshelf📚

Join me for a peaceful and creative afternoon at my art studio where we will sip on herbal tea while working on lovely craft projects using the dried flowers and herbs. My studio recently got an upgrade with the new bookshelves which we will decorate together! And of cause a new painting process awaits for you at the end of this video😉

Hello friends! A new studio vlog is ready and I'm so happy to share it with you. I hope through my video I'll be able to pass to you the cozy vibes and soothing peacefulness that we all need so much at this dark and cold time of the year. Drape a warm blanket over your shoulders, pour yourself a big cup of a hot drink and enjoy a sunny afternoon in my studio😊 Sending you my love ❤️

A few advice and a list of materials I used for the craft projects in this video:

1. Dried flowers wall hanging: a piece of thin linen fabric, an embroidery loop, dried flowers and hot glue.
A few tips: fix the fabric very tightly in the loop. It will look more aesthetic and will make it easier to fix the flowers with the hot glue to the surface of the fabric.

2. Flower candles: while candles, pressed flowers and hobby glue.
Warning! If you are going to light the candles, please, check what kind of glue you used. Some glue can be toxic when heated. The best option is to use homemade starch glue. It's also a good idea to select the herbs and flowers that smell nice when burnt.
