" Springtime Vase"
This vase is so simple to make! All you need is a clean glass jar, Deco Magic Matte, decoupage paper, a foam brush and scissors!
- Cut the paper to fit the outside of the jar. Cut a fringe on the top and bottom of the paper (as shown).
- Apply the Deco Magic to the paper before adhering to the jar.
- Overlap the fringed cuts of paper onto the bottom of the jar as you apply the Deco magic.
- When all is covered including inside jar lip, paint with the varnish and set to cure before tying with a pretty ribbon and filling with flowers!
I love anything and everything to with faerie gardens,
so I was excited for a chance to play with some Little Birdie papers!
" Faerie Garden Chair"
- To get the most precise cuts for your faerie garden miniatures, simply place the paper onto the chair, and press along the edges (as shown). This way there is no second guessing and you can see exactly where to cut and glue your papers!
- Using a some blunt tool is helpful in pressing the paper into tight spaces.
- After the chair is covered, be sure to seal it with Decor varnish!
"Faerie Garden Umbrella"
This umbrella was pretty easy to do. I simply cut triangles from the papers and adhered them to the umbrella in sections with the Deco Magic Matte. I trimmed off the excess papers and sealed the top of the umbrella with the Decor varnish. I painted the inside of the umbrella with Deco Magic Gloss and sprinkled it with an assortments of pretty glitter!
Here is the before and after of the bird house.
I love how the Little Birdie papers give it a new life! So cheery!
Everything is so perfect for Spring Time in the Garden!
