Pure Wool Hand-Knotted Antiqued Heriz Re-Creation Oriental Rug, 7'9" x 9'10"

Watch her pounce, chase, and swat at a lightweight toy for hours of fun. And it's a great upcycling idea: Cut an old shirt or jersey knit garment into strips, tie them into a knot, and hang it from a secure place like this doorknob.

If you have the itch to stitch, but not from scratch, take this artisanal shortcut. Start with basic tufted cushions, and give them a bohemian upgrade with fluffy accents that mimic the look of quilt knots (the hand-tied bows that make our baby blanket so precious).

Suspend this easy-to-make garland over the table at your next party. With endless color options, ribbon garlands are a fantastic way to add color and texture to the space.

Today, a rare find can be valued at more than $1,000.

Whether you're taking baby steps into quilting or looking for an impactful project, give in to our mini blanket's charms. (This little peanut, named Harlow, certainly helps!)

Pair a loosely knotted napkin with a handwritten place card. It's the perfect place setting for an elegant Thanksgiving table.

There's more to it than just laying one down on the floor.

A sailor's knot wreath is just about as authentic as you can get when decorating in the nautical theme, and looks great outdoors as well as indoors. For the Fourth of July, a simple ribbon brings together the theme for the holiday and can be removed for the rest of the summer.

This will come in handy at the flea markets, estate sales, and antique shops this summer.

Make a set of figure-eight napkin rings — in pink or red rope, of course — to symbolize everlasting love.
