Country Farmhouse Budget Friendly Wreath - DIY

Country Farmhouse Budget Friendly Wreath

Using a sign from Dollar Tree I painted it with Waverly white chalk paint

found this print from hen silhouette cut it out and glue the silhouette to the sign.

I added some doodle around the edge with a black sharpie.

attach the sign to the wreath form from Dollar Tree.

I made up three messy bows with black and white fabric and some rick-rack from my local fabric store, foliage pick, burlap ribbon, jute twine from Dollar Tree, topped the bow with natural raffia strands, also from Dollar Tree. 

I started to lay out the bows and foliage to get the right placement

I like how this wreath turned out.

Thank you for stopping by, so until next time.

God bless you, Vicki

Spring Mantel in March

Hi Friends,

Welcome to another how I decorated my mantel this year for Spring

I gathered some of my green bottles added a little yellow daffodils, white pip berries,  and a couple of diy's and voila' my spring mantel for 2020.

Green checked banner, adds a nice farmhouse feel to the old window frame on the mantel. 

I start with the the festive paper medallion banner I added a black and white check homespun garland I made last spring give a nice country feel, green moss garden balls I also made last spring

A new diy wreath project this year

This year I brought into my décor a few felt  stemmed shamrocks I made a few years ago.

a cleaned up thrifted mirror and a few felt farmhouse shamrocks scattered around.

 

I am very pleased how adding a little moss and some of my DIY's came together. What do you think?

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my Spring Mantel.

Take care and God Bless, Vicki a Colorado Junkett

$1.50 Thrift Store Find for February - Vintage Pat and Pam Creative Charms kit

Hello Friends,

Today I'm sharing another project from a item I found at my local thrift store. 

Remember my thrift haul back in February I picked up a vintage three piece Pat and Pam Creative Charm kit for a $1.50. At the time I wasn't sure how to incorporate the charms into my February decor. Then realized I could add fabric and add the charm to a string of bead.

I had a tough time getting the fabric over the little teeth 

I finally got all three charms covered and the back snapped on.

Wrapping the jute twine around my fingers to forming a circle

Using another piece of twine to wrap around the end to make a hook, and cut the other end to make a fray.

Using red bead I thrift in February haul, I cut the twine the length I thought would need feed it threw the charm clasp and added the red beads about twenty and added tassel

I embellish the top of the charm with a small fabric heart and a button

This project turned out pretty nice.Thank you for stopping by to see what I have been up to.  So until the next project......

May God Bless you, Vicki

DYI Bunny chalk board

I've been digging out some of my Easter decor and deciding I need more bunnies, so...

Here is a bunny shape template I found on line. The template was small so I enlarged the bunny shape freehand to get it the size I was looking for.

 I traced the bunny shape onto a piece of white form board, I had left over from another project, and cut this bunny shape, painted it with black chalk paint, and trimmed out the bunny with white chalk paint.

 added a yellow ribbon bow with a button in the center. 

 I placed this bunny on my mantel.  I think it was a nice addition to my Easter decor.

 Thank you for stopping by, Vicki
