Hummingbird Canvas Decor

 

Hi! It's Debb from Clickersister's Gallery and I'm bringing you some rustic decor using Creative Dew Drops Canvas!

The first step is to distress the canvas. It was a bit harder than I thought it would be, but take your time and get those threads pulled on the edges and you'll get that distressed look that we want for this project.

Paint the canvas to your liking. I had to add some glitter paint to it. Teehee. Then I used some distress ink and randomly brushed it on the top of the canvas.

I had a scrap of lumber that fit perfectly and glued the canvas to it. I chose a complementary color of Dew Drops and used the Dew Dew Glue to attach onto the canvas.

For the final touch, I wrapped some twine around the top a few times and included some ribbon when I tied the bow.

Thanks for stopping by today!    

Collecting Shells

 

Hi! I have a confession to make... I'm wintering in Florida in my CAMPER and I'm trying to do my projects from this tiny space with the supplies that I brought with me. Whew. I'm glad that's out! Lol! With that being said, I DID get to a beach and collected some shells, and I had these tiny jars that I keep them in. Of course I had to upcycle it with great product from                  The Robin's Nest.

I had some modeling material and a silicone mold for lacey borders

I chose one of the smaller borders because this is a fairly small jar. I've had mine for years, but I know the hobby stores carry small glass jars all the time. The modeling material can be pushed into the mold, then the excess removed with a sharp blade.

Each border piece needs removed quickly and placed around the jar to dry. They do shrink a little, and I left mine to dry a couple days. If you take them off too early they shrink more and then break when you try to put them back on the jar. Don't ask me how I know!!!

So after they're good and dry, they can be removed from the jar and painted.

I painted with an acrylic paint and then used glitter paint over the top of the color. The painted borders can then be put back onto the jar.

I then chose the Dew Drops and the Dew Dew Glue to apply the bling!

I evenly spaced the Dew Drops between the two borders, and the project is complete.

Can't forget the shells!

Thanks for joining me today!
