How to Be DIY Creative

IIHS Blog·Naomi Findlay·May 9, 2025· 2 minutes
Hey Guys, Naomi here! I wanted to share this story with you to inspire you! One day I was sitting in my office looking at the beautiful ‘standard flowering cherry blossom’ that has shed its last leaf and formed the buds that will soon turn into beautiful blossoms.  I found myself thinking of all the great things I could use photographs of such a beautiful tree for.   Here are some photos I took and converted them to black and white. Now imagine them framed and above your bed or at the end of your dining table, creating a stunning effect like in the image below. Get out your camera or even use your phone and try it, it is a very affordable feature to add to any room! You can also make your own homewares, 100% original creations, then style them in your own home! If you’ve been feeling rushed and hurried lately, this is the perfect antidote for you - a lovely afternoon of chilling out and getting crafty, with treats, bubbles and an opportunity for you to put your busy life on pause, relax and have some fun with like-minded ladies. If you’re new to styling and you’re not quite sure what to do with a clay beaded garland or a wreath don’t worry! At my workshops, I’ll share my top tips and ideas with you on how to style your creations in your home, making it a gorgeous accent piece for any room. I hope that inspires you to get creative! Are you coming my workshops at the beautiful Lorn Rose Farm?  We have such a blast!
