Crafty Weekend

Hello friends!

We had a very snowy (blizzard!) weekend.

I was stuck inside so I got a few crafts done that I had been wanting to do.

First I wanted to show you a fun "cake stand" that I got on clearance from Homegoods.

I put some pink tulips on a pitcher and put them on the stand,

I love buying fresh flowers from the market. I can't wait until my garden has flowers I can bring inside.

The stand is very heavy, concrete I would guess? I love how it is painted a whitish gray.

I have some big plans for these frames. I wanted to spray paint them this weekend but it was too cold outside. Hopefully next weekend I will get them done.

I am using a new technique for these so stay tuned!

This wooden vase is needing some white paint.

This old (just old, not vintage :)) Pottery Barn topiary also needs some white paint.

I added white paint and my french carte postale stamp.

It came out a little messy but I don't mind, I love how it turned out.

Next on my to-do list was to either paint the "thingys" that are on the chandelier below where the light is. The other option was to add some fabric. I decided to add some burlap to cover up the discoloration. Burlap is hard to hot glue gun! I had fibers and hot glue stuck to my fingers, very messy!

I took off the first few strings of burlap so they would flare up over the light a bit.

I made sure the lights didn't get too hot, they are low wattage and I can hold my hands around them after they have been on for a bit so it seems to be fine.

I added an image from The graphics Fairy to the newly painted vase.
I used the same technique I used on my vintage milk jug, you can find it here.

I love how this turned out, too!

 I hope you all have a wonderful week!
