It’s such a basic material, and even without the newly popular colored tape, you can’t imagine how people can make such beautiful things with masking, packing, and electrical tape.

It’s not like me to repeat a topic, but this first swing sent me into a tizzy. It’s amazing. Nothing else to say. And a few more great swings to follow…
Designed by Johanna Richter as a piece of jewelry for your home, the Swing Necklace is made from 10 feet of felt balls. Handmade in Germany, available at Sleek Identity. Found via Handmade Charlotte.
The ME & U swing from Softline is a perfect indoor swing for the entire family. The removable upholstered covers are great for cleaning and comes in great colors! Found via Minor Details.
With some potting soil, seeds and a bit of water, Marcel Wanders’ Swing with the Plants truly comes alive! The seat is cleverly designed to double as a planter, allowing the vines to grow directly up the ropes.

I know it’s only June 25th, but if you are throwing a July 4th party, get your decorations done so you can focus on the food next week. Garlands are the easiest way to decorate—they have a sweet nostalgia to them and they have to potential to cover a large area. Here are a few of my faves…
Flag garland by Saltwater Kids, via The Crafty Crow.
Starfruit print banner by The Long Thread, via The Crafty Crow.
4th of July party banner by Modern June.
Martha Stewart has a ton of great July 4th garland ideas!
To celebrate the US win yesterday, here are more fun soccer/World Cup finds…
If they asked my opinion, I think the World Cup ball should actually have a world on it! Found via Chroma Labs.
Visit the New York Times for a cool interactive tool that takes you through a timeline of the World Cup balls. Found via Black Eiffel.
Bas & Daan designed this shirt in support of the Dutch soccer team. From the website:
A lot of football players celebrate by pulling the shirt over their heads. On the inside of our supporter shirt, we printed the heads of the 3 most popular players of the Dutch national football team. So now, when the Dutch team scores you can pull your shirt over your head and become a legend!
