Garden Chair

I got this chair
on a fb pg
I administer 
for our area
called
 Steals and Deals
of course I 
forgot to take
 a photo of it before

My hsb 
decided to make
 a garden chair out of it


He painted
it turquoise then
heirloom white
and crackled it 


He then cut
a circle in the seat
to put a flower pot in 


Once finished
I posted it 
on the same page
and sold it for $25
within a day!

Bag it


I was at Michael's
for something
else and came across
these little green bags
I couldn't believe the price
.29
yes I typed .29 and there 
were 2 bags to a pkg!!!!


I glued on
14 in. pieces of ribbon
 with
 Aleene's Tacky Glue

A tutorial



I got the butterfly's
at Hobby Lobby
in a pkg on sale



they have adhesive but
I glued them on 
and added the gems


On these
I had flowers
from a pkg
I bought at Walmart 
for $1
The pink flowers
were from a bush
I also added gems








The daisies came off 
a bush that was 
on sale from Michaels
just cut the back off so they 
would glue on flat










I will be selling
them at my booth
for $5

Mini Booklets

These mini
comp books
come 3 to a pkg
for $1


I measured the pieces
and cut them out 
with the cricut machine
then applied modpodge


 using a


I sanded the edges and corner






Now for the binding
I cut the piece
with the cricut machine
and attached with modpodge


Before I put them on I rolled them
so it would be easier to put around the curve






Once they were on
I covered it 
with modpodge
letting it dry overnight
standing up


 Now on to embellish
applied the ribbon
with double sided tape



for this one I cut a paper doily




Once it was to size
I applied modpodge 


Once it was where I wanted it 
I dabbed it into place
because I was afraid it 
would tear


 and allowed it to dry


added ribbon


and some glitz
(the glue will dry clear)




A few other designs











 Some I didn't embellish
and a few I'm not sure
yet what to put on them


I will be selling these
so I have put them in sleeves
