4 Cozy Reading Nooks You’ll Want in Your Home Right Now Constructing a reading nook doesn’t have to be hard. Sometimes all you need is lots of pillows and a little unused space. Reading nooks are also a great way to use dead, unused, or awkward space within a home. Nooks can help maximize living space and provide additional seating, along with providing a personal sanctuary.

DIRECTIONS

1. IF you want to paint any part of your basket, do that first. We painted the bottom of one of ours using pink craft paint. Let dry and then paint a second coat. Let dry again.
2. Decide on the phrase you want to write and plan out how you want to lay them out. For the seagrass baskets, you can fit two lines, for the larger Target baskets you can fit more!
3. I recommend starting in the middle with your words and working your way out so that you ensure everything is centered. Place your letters and press them firmly to adhere them to the baskets.
4. Make sure all the corners of the letters are pressed onto the baskets and then cover the entire basket in a coat of mod podge (including the painted part, it will help keep it from chipping!). Let dry completely, then cover in the second coat of mod podge. Let dry again.

NOTE: If you prefer to paint your letters on, so you can use a variety of colors, you can use the letter stickers as stencils. Place them on the basket, trace around them then remove them and paint with your desired colors! You'll likely have to do two coats to cover completely.

DIY BEGINNER MACRAME GARLAND

DIY BEGINNER MACRAME GARLAND MATERIALS NEEDED: macrame yarn (I use this one  HERE  and  HERE ) sharp scissors (I like using haircutting scissors) wood beads (I used these  HERE  and some slightly larger ones I had, I lied alternating slightly different sizes) hair comb (if you want to brush out the edges again) INSTRUCTIONS: I made another video which you can see below and you can also follow my step-by-step instructions as described with the photos:   For my garland, I used 23 wooden beads threaded on a 10-foot piece of macrame cord. I wanted it to belong so I could possibly use it on a Christmas tree shortly. For my length of garland, you need to knot 22 small pieces of macrame altogether. And when you make one piece of macrame in-between the above wood beads you need to cut 6 pieces of 40-inch macrame yarn which you then have to repeat 22 times or however long you want your garland. I had to cut 132 pieces of 40-inch macrame yarn strings. Does that make ...
