Bread Box

Here’s a metal  bread box I altered and added flowers to. It's been painted and then lightly sanded to give it that vintage country look. I added a dolly, ribbons, lace and flowers. This decorative item is about 12 inches long and 8 inches tall . This item is not intended for food use but could make for a great accent piece for your home. It would make a great recipes holder or photo holder. This Bread Box is sold on my ArtFire store … www.MooreArtFromTheHeart.artfire.com

Square Glass Ornament

I wanted to try something new with some square glass ornaments that I had. I used paper from Graphic 45 “Nutcracker Sweet” collection for the back ground image along with ribbon, lace, a white paper poinsettia, mica flakes and a crystal. For the  front of the glass I took a mask and Gesso to created a raised pattern which I then added Stickles to for some sparkle.

If you would like me to do a video tutorial on how I created this project please leave me a comment here.
Happy Holidays my friends,
Laurie

Light up your life

I recently bought three birdcages. Each one was a different color, yellow, black and one green. I decided to paint them all white. I then went looking to buy some battery operated Christmas lights to place inside but I couldn’t find any with white wires. I knew the green wires would show to much inside the cages so I took white paint and painted the wires. I wanted to give the cages a soft glow when lit and I needed a way to hold the lights in place. I tried a couple different kinds of materials and found that white small netting worked the best. I added flowers and lace to one of the cages, it seemed to need something added to the top, this cage also became my favorite with its changing colored lights.
Thanks for peeking in on me.

Christmas Under Glass

Hi Everyone,
Here it is October and I’m making Christmas stuff, well there’s a reason for this. I’m working on items to sale in a Holiday Craft Bazaar I’m doing with my friend Melissa.  I picked up these tiny Christmas trees at Micheal’s Crafts and decided to make a winter scene under glass.  First I took the tree and a brush with white craft paint on it and brushed the tree to look like snow on the brunches. I added a bead cap with a pearl in the center to the top of the tiny tree for a look of a star. Then took the crystal glass candle stick holder that I bought at a thrift store and  placed a small circle of  chipboard in the bottom of it. Then glued the tiny tree to the chipboard. I used Beacon’s 3-in-1 craft glue for gluing everything down. I then added white iridescent grass round the tree as to give it a look of floating on a cloud. Drop in a few pearls on the grass and then added the glass dome top. I took a rub-on word and added it to the dome at the front. To the top of the dome I added a shear ribbon bow, a feather and a metal snow flake.
You can check this and other projects I have done on my YouTube channel, (link on the side).
Hugs, Laurie
