DecoArt Blogger Outreach Program: Altered Brush and Utensil Holder

Hi all

I was lucky enough to win a Brush and Utensil holder from Candy Box Crafts. So i painted it with Vintage Chalky Finish paint and varnished it.

I used the new DecoArt Decou Papers to decorated the sides and front with. I used the Victorian paper pack.

The row of birds is from Things to Alter. I painted the birds with crafters acrylic and to create a bark effect. Paint the branch with Titanium White Fluid Acrylic. Next coat with Weathered Wood medium and leave to dry. Next paint over with Burnt Umber Fluid Acrylic, sprinkle over with cinnamon powder and dab over with more paint to add texture.

Thank you for visiting

Things to Alter : Alter Something From The Kitchen

Hi all 

I am sharing an altered wooden spoon i made for the Things to Alter Facebook challenge where we had to alter something from the Kitchen. You can join our challenges here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1578437669085933/1605893239673709/?notif_t=group_activity&notif_id=1460467745876007

I stared off by painting the spoon with DecoArt Chalky Paint in Lace and leaving it to dry before applying a coat of weathered wood over the top. Once dry i painted the spoon with Serene Chalky Finish Paint.

I then wrapped pink organza ribbon around the spoon and glued into place.

I painted the little bird with crafters Acrylic Island Blue and Fluid Acrylics in Titanium white. Stuck dow the birds nest and added pearls for the little eggs. I perched the little bird on the edge and glued 3 ribbon flowers underneath.

The title i glued down the handle and painted with Patina Blue Fluid Acrylic Paint.

                        

I finished off the spoon by making a bow from ribbon and gluing a duck egg blue flower on top. Thank you for visiting and if you are inspired to alter something from the Kitchen then please leave a link in the comments.
