TOP 5 MOST-READ BLOG POSTS OF 2019

#5.  Four Simple Brown Paper Gift Wrap Ideas

Who would’ve thought these cheap and cheerful gift wrap ideas could have made the top 10 list? It seems I’m not the only one looking for back-to-basics crafts that are light on the pocket book.

#4.  3 Simple Ways To Organize Your Yarn Stash

After finally renovating a part of our basement to clear out space for the Craft Room of My Dreams (Take the Tour on Facebook Live), I went to work organizing my yarn stash! I was able to release from confinement all my beautiful yarn that had been so cruelly stored away in xerox boxes! There’s nothing more fulfilling for the yarn crafter than seeing all those beautiful colours out on full display 🙂 

#3.  Amazon Home Decor Finds Under $100

I’m clearly not the only one looking for stylish and budget-friendly decor. At number 3, this post appealed to a number of readers. And it’s easy to see why. Even I was surprised to find all these chic and modern pieces at such great prices.    

#2.  10 Modern Wreath DIYs (That Anyone Can Make!)

This round-up of some of my favourite wreath tutorials was popular with many. With 10 tutorials included, there were a lot of beautiful (and easy) wreaths to choose from.

#1.  Easy DIY Boho Macrame Coasters

The most popular post of the year was this beginner-friendly tutorial on how to make these super-cute, DIY Macrame Coasters. It’s nice to see that there are others who love macrame as much as I do!

I love macrame, but this is the first time that I made Christmas ornaments – and using just one knot!

#2.  2019 Fall Home Tour

My first fall home tour for YouTube was part of a collaboration with several other YouTubers. It’s amazing to see so many sharing their homes and with so much creativity!

#1.  Easy DIY Boho Macrame Coasters

It seems this DIY Boho Macrame Coasters tutorial, posted on the blog and on YouTube, was popular with many 🙂

 

Facebook Live Videos (top 2)

Two of my personal favourites made the cut for most-viewed videos on Facebook Live. While the viewership is smaller than on YouTube, Facebook Live videos are so much more intimate. It gives me the opportunity to share and craft in real time and I love interacting with all of you lovely viewers out there!

#2.  Thrift Store Haul for Fall + Styling Tips

In preparation for my 2019 Fall Home Tour on Youtube, I shared not only my thrift store finds, but how to keep things fresh and modern with vintage decor.

#1.  Weave With Me! Circular Weaving Basics

This was the most-viewed tutorial on Facebook Live and, I think, for good reason. I shared the basics of weaving using an embroidery hoop, showing you all the basics from setting up your ‘loom’ to weaving ‘in the round’ to finishing off your circular weave. 

What a year it’s been! I can’t wait to discover all that 2020 has in store!
