February Vintage Farmhouse Décor Project

Hi Friends,

I'm at it again with another project.  

Thrifted Wooden Heart Transformed to fit into my February Vintage Farmhouse Décor 

I haul this wooden heart earlier this month and am just now getting to this project.  

  I'm going to white chalk paint it

Then using some yardage of red and white striped fabric I'll cover the wood heart.

I traced the heart shape on to the striped fabric 

using Aleene's Tacky Glue to attach the fabric cutout onto the wooden shape.

I've had this wooden love piece for sometime, I'm pretty sure it came from Dollar Tree.  I just painted it with the Waverly White Chalk paint distressed it with a black sharpie

 

Here I added some fabric hearts and a button to the top and at the bottom of the heart.

Using some fine sand paper I sanded down the excess fabric off the edge when it had dried.

This was a fairly simple projects, allowing the fabric to dry took over night, but all in all this project was easy and quick.

Thank you for stopping by My Little Colorado Cottage and checking out another of my February projects.

God Bless you, Vicki a Colorado Junkett

 

DYI- Thrifted Heart Shape Twig Wreath

A thrift heart shape wreath, I believe I paid $.50 from my January 2019 Thrift Haul

I removed as much of the old hot glue and greenery as I could, I also trimmed up the center twigs.  I had some left over Spanish moss from another project, using Aleene's Tacky Glue, I applied the moss to the wreath.  When the moss applied wreath was dry I attached the burlap ribbon bow  with hot glue.

I really like how this project turned out.

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.

Show and Tell - February Themed Banners

I saw this banner on Pinterest from Little Maisie on www.esty.com and thought it would fit into my rustic farmhouse decor, so here is my version.

 I had made for the mantel in the den, but I measured wrong and the banner was to long to fit the mantel, so I hung it in my living room.  I think it looks great in the living room at the front window.

I had some sack cloth I bought on sale at my local Walmart, and of course you know I always have felt square and twine.  I choose to make my hearts 5" x 41/2, sorry I just kind of eye ball when I cut the template for the sack cloth/ red felt hearts.

I got the stencils out and traced the letters for, "Happy Valentine".  I used red and white acrylics paints to fill in the stencil letters.  Then I hot glued twine that I have on hand to transform the hearts into a banner.

This project was super easy and I was able to finish this banner in about four hours.

I found another Valentine garland project that looked fairly easy on Pinterest of course, saved from
www.redtedart.com, go check this site out she has a lot of wonderful paper craft ideas.

This project was a little more time consuming the cutting and taping took some time, but I really liked how it turned out.  I hung this garland  in my living room with my green-fir garland.

 Gives this project a try, for your Valentine Day decor.


Have a wonderful Day
