Today we are offering an easy and interesting way to refashion old clutches. The trend says that flowers are going to be all the hit this summer, so for this refashion you need fabric flowers, felt leaves and glue.

If your clutch has a pocket or any addition on the front that would get in the way, remove it.

Glue the leaves on the clutch.

Before gluing the flowers, work on the arrangement you like best. When you have your winning look, go for it. Add flowers gradually until done.

And here it is.

When it comes to trends in shirts this spring they are all about stripes, puffy / drawstring and trumpet cuffs, ruffles and frills.

Stripes can be vertical, horizontal or a mix-match of both. Preferred colors are pastels.

Sleeves are puffed and constructed in a variety of ways, most popular are the puffed ones and the ones featuring a drawstring and a trumpet cuff.

Ruffles and frills also come in different sizes and can either be minimally or richly applied.

Are you ready to welcome spring into your home?
We certainly are!

When it comes to decorating at home and beautifying the living space, even the plainest of vases with a bright and colorful flower arrangement can instantly freshen up the room, bring positive energy and lots of happiness.

In continuation I selected five fantastic ideas how to welcome spring at home without going over the budget, and yet have a modern and eye-catching spring home décor.

These flower terrariums are gaining more and more on popularity. The perfect centerpiece for your cocktail table.

 

 

 

• Piece of felt for the bib (foundation)
• Pom-poms in various sizes and colors (maker's choice)
• Pom-pom ribbon or any kind of ribbon for the edging
• Silicone glue
• Metal chain or cord or ribbon to hang the bib on

Once satisfied with the arrangement, glue them on. Also mind to glue between pom-poms to prevent them from spreading open.

When done, attach a metal chain / ribbon at the upper edges and the necklace is done!

 

Hello and welcome! Please tell us more about Farina's.

How did you come up with the name for your brand?

Farina is the name of the small mischievous boy from the children's show "Our Gang" (or "Little Rascals") which is at the same time Marina's nickname. Since the very beginning Marina worked alone, while the other members joined in later, the name stuck as a synonym for the spirit of our creations.

 

 

 

What were your beginnings in creating jewelry like and how did you introduce to the public first?

As a team we probed several areas in the frames of handmade jewelry. First we started making jewelry using beads, wire, natural stones, etc. Our first appearance in front of the public was with our Christmas cards and decorations that we sold on the streets. Later, searching for new materials we discovered the modeling clay that opened up numerous possibilities for us to express our ideas through. Through the work process we realized it was highly compatible with acrylic paints so we started painting it, while much later we also discovered the resin that perfectly protects and preserves the drawings and at the same time gives a wonderful glazed effect that opened up endless possibilities for us to express our creativity.

 

 

 

Tell us more about the image of the girl that is a kind of  trademark for your brand.

That was one of the first illustrated accessories and yes, in a way we became recognizable by the striking and captivating image of that girl. We don't know why our buyers love her so much, but we guess it wakes up the inner child, also because the illustration is minimal and the color scheme intensive.

 

 

 

What materials you use the most and what motifs can be found in your offer?

As we already mentioned, for the jewelry we use clay, resin, acrylic paints, wood and other additions with which we spice up their appearance, while for the bags we used a variery of fabric, raw canvas, synthetic and cotton, broadcloth...

 

What are the most wanted products?

The products that sell the most are the ones with the girl, the houses, the clean geometric resin shapes combined with various materials, and from the bags, the ones being hand embroidered and containing ethnic elements.

 

 

 

Is there anything new we should look forward to?

Ideas spontaneously sprout with us, through realization of some former ideas and we rarely start working having a definite goal in the end, except the one that it should be an accessory. We wouldn't announce anything because plans often fail and it is more interesting when things happen for themselves.
