As the second decade of the 21st century begins, we�re more compelled than ever to find refuge in our homes and personalize our living spaces with DIY projects that celebrate who we are and where we�ve been. In Crafting a Meaningful Home, Meg Mateo Ilasco shares 27 projects that tell personal stories and celebrate heritage, all easily created on a budget. Learn how to decoupage a plate with photos of a best friend; silkscreen upholstery with folk motifs; artfully display love notes; sew a teepee from a vintage quilt top; or create family silhouettes for a festive banner. Contributed by a hip cast of well known designers from across the country, the projects are, at once, nostalgic, sentimental, and modern. Clear instruc�tions are easy to follow, even for beginning crafters.
