Vintage Wreath Very Simple Diy - Using Vintage Tinsel Garland

Hi Dear Friends,

I have a few spare minutes today and I trying franticly to get all of my Christmas décor out.

 

I started with a piece of light weight card board from a back of a spiral note book, I was thinking a small wreath about 12' round. I drew a circle with about a inch width, just kind of eye balled it and cut the circle out.

Dug out a length of tinsel from the tub and started gluing the garland around the card board shape

Then I just wrapped the vintage tinsel carefully around the circle shape to fill in any gaps

Thank you so much for checking in to see how my diy vintage tinsel garland wreath turned out.

As you saw my thumb nail I hung the tinsel wreath on a large tobacco basket on top of my salt and pepper cabinet.

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Rustic Farmhouse Valentine Conversational Hearts Diy

Hello Friends,

I have another rustic farmhouse project from a thrift, paper heart banner I picked up in January.

The heart were pink with glitter and as you know I'm not much into glitter so, I painted all six heart with Waverly white chalk paint, it two coats. 

I used Sharpie fine point markers to free write the saying and added the doodles.

Added a red felt heart then glued a wooden heart shape painted white that I used stencil to write X O, and free hand arrows around edge.

With this cute heart I used a black Sharpie, to free hand the word and vine, added a checked fabric bow.

Another heart I just used black and red Sharpie markers wrote Be Mine then free hand the little heart vine

The last heart I added a large fabric heart and glued a small red felt heart in center and then added a little doodle around the edge.

I think the finish project turn out quit cute. 

Thank you for stopping by,

Valentine Decor DYI - Button Hearts

 From my thrift haul in January, I pick a set of three paper hearts on a ribbon to use for this project.

I decided to paint them with Waverly white chalk paint.  I have a stash of buttons and choose colors of white, tan, pale pink, and faded red. Then I glued them about a quarter inch in from edge.

This is how I used the hearts in my February decor.  On my coat closet I have hung a small twig wreath and added one of the hearts. 

This year I'm using a lot of the black and white check material in my decor.  Here I took a picture frame added the black and white check material to the card board backing of the frame and attached a button heart on the material, I also added a heart from a material I have in my stash.

I think this project turned out nicely and didn't cost me much.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Valentine DYI- my take on buffalo check heart

Hi friends welcome to another DYI!

I had a plain wooden heart I picked up in my January thrift haul  for $ .50

I painted the entire heart using white acrylic paint.  Then using 1" making tape I laid out the tape 1" apart, next I painted the heart gray, just mixing white and black acrylic paint together.

Letting the piece dry after painting the white and gray, I applied black acrylic paint for the final step.

Here is the unveiling, I reused the masking tape so in this picture it looks like I really got mixed up with the stripe, but there is still more tape to pull off.

This is my attempt to paint a "Buffalo Check" pattern, I did have to touch up a little, I suggest using new masking tape with each color

Here is the finished project, I added a red felt heart and topped with a small red felt heart glued on a large burlap heart glued on a larger red felt heart heart left over from a I made last year.  I place the heart on my mantel leaning against a silver color charger I thrifted.  I think this project turned out great.

DYI Spring Flag Banner

Spring Flag Banner Tutorial

Here is how I made a Flag Bannerto use on a couple of my old windows and the fireplace mantel.

I had the green checked sheet I have been using for a table cloth  but it needed hemmed up badly, so I use the extra length of the material to make my Spring Flag Banners. 

I also have some of the flour sack material I bought at Walmart several years ago to add to the banner.

The flag banners I made real similar to my winter flag banners.  I used green hot glue and hemp twine to attach the fabric pieces to make the spring flag banner.

This is the finished project, I made three, one for each of my old  windows.


I hope you enjoyed this turtorial

Thank you for stopping by !
and have a wonderful Day!
