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
