Budget-Friendly Summer Home Decor DIYs: Dollar Tree & Thrift Store Transformations

hey friends this is Trish with crafting cousins Kay and I would like to thank you for stopping by and supporting our channel in today's video we're excited to share 20 DIY home decor projects tailored specifically for your summer styling so sit back relax and let's crap [Music] jaw hey y'all this is Kay for this project I'm going to be using one of these 14-in wood rounds that I got from Hobby Lobby they come three to a package I'm going to be using this B skip that I got from Walmart it is about 7 in high I'm also going to be using this wooden word welcome also came from Walmart and it's about 7 in long I'm going to use some small unfinished wooden beads some of this cute fabric with bees on it I think it originally came from Walmart this black and white 7/8 in ribbon it has a cute detailed trim on the edge and it came from Hobby Lobby these two 1 and 1/2 in wide ribbons they came from Sam's Club recently and these two 2 and 1/2 in wide ribbons the black and white one came from Michaels the one on the right came from Hobby Lobby some antiquing wax some bright yellow acrylic paint some chalk paint in the colors white and ink by Waverly some juk twine mine came from Hobby Lobby and finally my hot glue gun some Mod Podge zip ties and Chenille stems I'm going to use my 4in ruler and draw a couple of lines evenly across the piece I decided that I would have 7 in for the bottom part a 3in middle piece which is what I'm drawing off now and then that will leave me 4 in for the top part of my board it's hard to see it on the video but I actually used a little masking tape and taped it down for this center part so that I can come in and quickly paint on the White Waverly chalk paint for my center and I always paint the edges too that match up with the front I'm going to paint this word welcome with the Waverly chalk paint in the color ink I did paint the front and all of those little nooks and crannies and edges I used a combination of a baby wipe and a small paint brush to get in all those little nooks and crannies on this B Skip and I'm just using antiquing wax and I'm going to stain only the part that's the Beehive or the beip now I make sure that mine's not exactly the same color all over I kind of wipe off some if it gets too dark blend some in I leave some areas really light so they look like the light is hitting them and while I have everything out I'm going to go ahead and stain the top part of the wood round the 4 in part with the antiquing wax as well same procedure that we used on the be scap for the bottom part of the wood round I'm going to be using that beautiful fabric I just come in with some Mod Podge put on a nice cover make sure I keep everything nice and straight I only did a little bit of it at the time and then I'm finishing up with the bottom here smooth that down when it dries a little bit I go in with a coat of mod podge on top going to let that dry for a while now back to the Bap I went in and I just sort of traced the sides of the body before I started painting it then I'm going to come in with the acrylic paint in this bright yellow and I'm going to paint the body I just used a really tiny paintbrush and it did take two coats for the wings I'm going to paint those in white using the chalk paint it only took one coat you could also do it in a light blue and it would also look good I'm just doing mine similar to the fabric for the head of the bees I'm just going to use the black chalk paint the color is ink and then for the straps on the body I'm just using a really tiny paintbrush and painting mine in you could make them wider you can make fewer of them I'm just doing them a little bit Whimsical you can do whatever your heart desires I like to paint my wooden beads when I only have a few to paint by placing them onto chenel STS I can hold on to them better that way and I'm just going to paint a few in the yellow the black and the white white I ended up only using four of each color I let my fabric get good and stiff so it's really easy to come in and just cut off the excess with my scissors I'm going to cut a piece of this black and white ribbon that will go across my board and wrap around so that I can glue it on with my hot glue and also fold it around those edges and give that some glue also because the be skip is so big I'm going to spread on a layer of wood glue on the back and I'll use a popsicle stick and even that out and then we'll place it down onto the wood round kind of to the right a little bit I'm just making sure that I Center one of those bees on the fabric right in the middle of that little hole I'm going to place some heavy books on top and we'll let that dry for several hours then for the word welcome I'm also going to be using wood glue and I will spread it out with a popsicle stick and I'm going to center it on the white but it's going to be played just a little bit towards the left these beads are going to be the hanger for the piece I'm just going to string them onto some juk twine I'm going to tie knots before I start the first bead and then I will place on the bead and I'll place a knot after that and then start placing on all the beads in the same pattern I'm going to do a black a yellow and then a white each time but I do T knots between every one of those wooden beads just a different look and that's also why I only needed four of each color then I will just come in and even up the ends and tie knots in both sides now I'm going to show you my mistake here I came in first of all and I made a really huge bow starting out with this first ribbon and I decided it was just going to be too big for the piece so I'm going to take it out of the bow maker and then I'm going to reform it and reuse that ribbon and don't worry about the part I cut off I end up using some of that later too I used about two 4 in loops on each side one tail up and one tail down and then one Loop up and one tail up then for the second ribbon I'm going to do the same thing but I'm going to start out with one tail up and one bow up and then one Loop down and one tail down and then we'll come in with the third one we'll make them just a little bit smaller on this third one but again doing the opposite pattern and finally we're putting on the last one and it's a little shorter than all of the ribbons but again I am doing it opposite of where the tails are up and where the tails are down we'll use a zip tie and come under all of our ribbon go ahead and start it while it's on the bow maker then we'll take it out turn it over and before we pull it tight we're going to place in a chenel stem tighten everything up and then cut off the excess and then I just start giving that bow a really good fluffing you want to adjust the ends dovetail those that need to be dovetailed and get it nice and rounded and then I realized huh I'm not even going to be using a Chenille stem I'm going to attach my bow with glue so I cut off a couple of pieces of that yellow ribbon that was left over and then I'm going to come in with some glue I drew some dots where I want my hanger to go and I place glue on there I let that dry a little bit then I'm going to place some more glue on top and then place on the yellow ribbon to hide the knots and the last thing we need to do to finish off this piece is place on our bow and you can see it's kind of a big bow I'm going to place quite a bit of glue here on the side towards the top and then I will also come under the loops on the right and the left and place even more glue to keep it secure you could also use some heavy duty Staples on those sides I think this is one of my favorite projects that I have made in a really long time [Music] welcome aboard the crafty Cruise getaway

visit www.c crafty Cru getaway.com see you on board in [Music] 2025 hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use this Wagon Wheel craft kit that I designed I will have this in my Etsy shop and there there is a link to the Etsy shop in the description box below but if you don't want to purchase from me they do sell these little wagon wheels on Amazon and at Walmart you could get the Wagon Wheel then use half beads and you could design your own little sign to go on it as well some various florals and Greenery most of mine came from Walmart and from the Dollar Tree some floral foam from the Dollar Tree some furniture repair markers from Dollar Tree I'm using Walnut and black some white chalk paint a soda can tab some wood glue and my glue gun and some glue sticks I wanted my piece to have that dark wood look so I grabbed the walnut furniture repair marker like you get from the Dollar Tree and I stained the little round piece that goes in the center of this and I also stained my whole Wagon Wheel now I did not stain the back of this I would have had to use another whole marker and I really didn't want to have to do that just for the back I'm also going to go in and stain the little home sweet home word that comes in the kit as well I wanted to give this some depth and make it look like old beat up wood so I grabbed the black furniture repair marker out of that pack and I went around the wheel and I just kind kind of did some dashes and some dots just making marks all over it and then I would come back with that walnut furniture repair marker and kind of blend it in just go over it on again and it makes it darker and it really makes it look like old wood then I decided that that Center piece needed to be more of a contrast and so I am going to take that black furniture repair marker and I just went over the Walnut stain and I'm also going to stain all of the little half wood beads that are in this kit as well for my little sign I am going to give it a really good coat of white chalk paint I only painted the top of this and we'll set that aside and let it completely dry and then I took a chippy brush and I'm doing a dry brush effect and going over that Center piece and those little half wood beads I want this to have an old wood look like it was painted and then it got chipped off when it was working in the fields now I will add my centerpiece I'm going to use some of my wood glue and some hot glue and then I'm going to glue the larg half bead on top of that then I'm going to go around and everywhere I have a Spoke I'm going to glue one of the smaller wood beads and I'm trying to get it kind of in the center of that wheel so that it looks like these are the bolts that held this in place then I'll flip it over and I'm going to flood the inside of that hole with some hot glue and let it set that's going to make that piece hold on better now I'll add a hanger I'm going to use a soda can tab that I bend up I'll find the center at the top flood it with hot glue and set it aside and let it set up for my little son I wanted to give it a shiplap look so I just grabbed a ruler and I drew two little lines on there with a pencil and smudged those in with my finger then I'm going to go all around the edges of this I turn my pencil to the side and kind of scribble along the edge and then smudge that in and it gives it an old wood look to add the wording to the sign I'm going to use a combination of wood glue and hot glue for the wood glue I have found that if you pour some out and use a small paint brush and paint on the glue to the back of this it helps keep you from making a mess then I'll add a little bit of hot glue and press it right in the center now that we have everything painted and dried we can start decorating this to add florals to this I'm going to use some floral foam I just cut some little pieces off and then I'm going to attach it to one side of my wagon wheel using a little bit of hot glue and some floral wire now this floral wire is going to help it stay in place if you didn't put that on there when you start sticking your florals in it's going to pop off with just that hot glue especially if you hang this somewhere where it can get warm once my floral foam is secure now we can start adding in our florals now I am just cutting off pieces of this Lamb's Ear I'm really using pieces that I have in my stash that's been left over from other projects and I like to cut these apart and stick them in at different places this is going to give me a fuller look without having them bunched up then I'm going to use some of these really pretty little roses that I got from Walmart I cut those apart and add those in and I also like to use the leaves that are on those Roses I love using a combination of the different Greenery I think it gives it a lot more interest and it makes it look fuller I'm going to come in with some Fern that I had gotten from the Dollar Tree and I'm also using some little pieces from a boxwood plant that I had gotten from Walmart I just cut these apart and if it won't stick into the floral foam then I just kind of punch a hole using my all and I use some hot glue to hold it in place I'm going to continue going in and adding flowers in different places until I'm happy with how this looks there is no right or wrong way to do this it's just whatever you like I wanted this one to be really full because I am going to be keeping it so I added in lots of flowers the last thing that we need to do is add our little sign to this so I figured out where I wanted it to sit I added some hot glue and then pressed it down into it and once you do that this project is complete [Music] [Music] [Music] hey y'all this is Kay for this project I'm going to be using this home sign that I got at the Dollar Tree it is about 14 in tall by 6 and 1/2 in wide and it is a nice quality wood I'm going to be using this 4in ribbon that I got at Michaels it is made of fabric and it has Peaches on it also going to be using some wired ribbon and some floral wire to make a bow I'm also going to be using this scrap piece of fabric so that we can make our project versatile and use it in two ways I'm also going to be using this sign from the Dollar Tree it is more narrow than the first sign but it is longer so I will be needing to cut it off I'm going to use my Waverly white chalk paint I'm going to use some heavy duty velcro and also my hot glue gun the first thing I'm going to do is give it two really good coats of my White Waverly chalk paint and the most aggravating of course was getting in between all of those areas of the letters I'm leaving mine white so it will be more versatile I'm going to draw off on my board where I want to cut it out I'm going to remove this little heart here we can use that later on for a different project and now you can see I've taken it to my garage and I cut off the top piece I'm going to be using it of course on the back of the first side I'm going to draw out where I want my peach fabric to go because it wasn't wide enough to just put straight down the side I'm going to have to cut it in 5 in pieces and that's what I did I cut four 5 in pieces if you have fabric you don't have to do that it's already done for you when you cut the width then I'm going to use Mod Podge place it down on my sign and I'm going to put down my pieces later I learned I was going to have to trim the edges of all four pieces to make everything lie nice and flat and I did make one mistake here and that is I should have painted this board white on the back so if you use this type ribbon make sure you go ahead and paint your board white because your Ribbon will be more vibrant once it dries from the mud podge here you can see on the back I've added the dark fabric I'm going to use mod podge and coat it on the top real well and then we'll put it aside and let it dry this is going to give us the ability to have two looks for this project and of course I did have Mod Podge on the bottom and the top for this black piece and I'm going in now and I'm just going to trim up those edges everything is nice and dry and stiff so it's easy to cut and now I'm showing you how it looks with the peach fabric behind the home sign and then we can turn it on the back and see how the black and white fabric is going to look I'm going to take this soda can Tab and I'm going to place it here in the top middle of my sign I'm just going to use hot glue to attach it and then I'll flood it with hot glue on top and that's how I'm going to attach my bow to my project I'm going to use heavy duty velcro just like I showed you earlier I'm going to cut pieces to put in each corner of the sign I almost put mine too far over to the right so watch your placement with whatever sign you use behind it but I cut off the four pieces I place the second piece on top which is the loop part and then I'm going to peel off the backing place it on all the corners once I get that done we'll just peel off this backing from all four pieces and then we'll place down our Peach fabric I'm not going to put the velcro on the black piece right now because that will just keep my piece finished in the back let's make a different kind of bow I'm going to cut first of all this first ribbon at 24 in I'm going to go ahead and dovetail the end and fold it in the middle for my second ribbon I'm going to cut it at 22 in and do the same thing duvail the ends fold it in the middle and for the third ribbon I'm going to cut it at 20 in and do the same thing now I'm going to use my babra I'm going to take some floral wire cut off a piece and just place it down in the bottom of the babra before I start I'm going to fold my ribbon in half again I'm going to fold it over from the right and then I'll fold it over from the left the good thing about this type bow is you never have to trim it up when you're done if you place it right into the bow daabra here's our second ribbon make sure that the loops are just a little bit shorter than the ones beneath it and then we'll come in with the third ribbon same thing we're going to place it down at the halfway mark and make sure our Loops are just a little bit smaller then we'll take it off of the babra we're going to twist that floral wire nice and tight and of course we'll fluff our bow and we'll fluff it again when we put it on the side I'm going to cut off this little piece of ribbon that I showed you earlier and just tie it around there to hide the wire and then we'll attach it down to the top of our piece here and so we can always change it out later the bow and the backing as many times as we want [Music] hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use 2/3 yard of white duck cloth I got mine from Hobby Lobby but you can also get this at Joanne Fabrics this pattern that I printed out with my computer and tap together I will put a link to it down below if you would like to have a copy some acrylic paint in light blue yellow white and pink some leftover grocery bags for stuffing some wording that I printed out with the computer I'll also put a link to it down below if you'd like to have a copy some carbon paper a jot permanent marker and a fine tip marker and my glue gun and some glue sticks I love stuffed door hangers they're lightweight they don't scratch your door and you can make them any shape that you want to once you paint them they make a really colorful way to greet your guest best I normally make mine with burlap but burlap is hard to paint on because it's so open it takes so much paint to make it show up so I decided that I would try it on duck cloth and y'all I will never go back this worked out so well I printed out my pattern I did blow it up it took six sheets to print it and then I taped it together I laid it onto my Fabric and then I just used a pencil and traced around it because it's duck cloth it showed up perfectly then I cut it out and now we're going to paint it I'm starting off with my light blue paint and I'm painting the top of my jar and I'm going to do just a little highlight around the edge of the jar as well now I know glass typically isn't blue this is just supposed to give you the illusion of glass I didn't want to leave it white so I thought this light blue would be really pretty to give that kind of glass a illusion now I'm going to come back in and I'm going to paint the middle of this with yellow to represent my lemonade I'm using Apple Barrel lemon yellow acrylic paint and I thought that it was just a little bit too bright so I did add some white into it to kind of tone it down a little bit but you can use any color yellow that you would like we're going to fill in the middle of this and then once we get that we're going to flip it around and we're also going to paint our lemon slice with our yellow as well we'll get that on there and then we're going to let that dry once our paint is dry I'm going to take a pencil and I kind of sketch in a straw and then I'm going to come back with my pink paint and I'm going to paint it in now you can use any color that you want to for your straw I just thought that pink would be really bright and summery once that paint is dry I'm going to take some white acrylic paint and I add just a little bit of yellow to it to kind of tone it down and soften it up some then I'm going to use one of those round sponge brushes from the Dollar Tree and do polka dots all over my lemonade this is going to kind of represent the ice I wanted to add some detail to my lemon so I took some white acrylic paint and a small brush and I just kind of go in and and kind of sketch it in it's not perfect it doesn't have to be this is supposed to just give you the impression then I'm going to take that paint and I'm going to do some highlights on my jar to kind of give it some rings and I'm also going to add some stripes on my straw I thought a striped straw would be really cute we'll paint that in and then we're going to let it dry again once all that paint is dry I'm going to take a fine tip marker and I come in and I kind of do some squiggly lines around this is just going to kind of highlight areas give some definition I go around my jar and I go around my straw just to Define it out as well I wanted to add hello summer as a greeting to my guest so I printed it out on my computer using gel datica font and then I'm going to put it onto my project I put a piece of carbon paper under it I trace over it and that is going to transfer the lines to my project then I just come in with a jot permanent marker and I fill in my letters now you can do this you could freehand this if you have a cute handwriting I don't trust mine so that's why I always do this or you could even cut it out with your cutting machine if you have one of those now we can join our two pieces together I'm going to line them up as good as I can get them and then I'm going to come around with my glue gun and and I'm going to go around every Edge and glue it together except the bottom we need to leave that bottom open so that we can stuff this now you probably notice that this does not match perfectly anymore that's because as our paint dries it draws up the fabric so that makes the bottom just a little bit bigger but that's okay we can trim that up now we will stuff our piece I don't want it too stuffed I just want to give it a little a little bit of Dimension so I take some leftover grocery bags and i stuff it in there because they're waterproof it's perfect for something like this once I get it stuffed I'm going to close up that opening with some more hot glue to make a hanger for this I'm going to take some embroidery thread you could also use twine I put it in a darning needle then I'm just going to shove my needle through the back of this and I pull one end all the way through we're going to tie a knot making a loop trim off those ends and we have a hanger with that this project is [Music] complete hey y'all it's k for this project I'm going to be using this lime green mesh that I got recently at the thrift store the original price on it was $77.99 it was marked $3.99 but it was half price day so I got it for $2 I'm going to be using this welcome sign you can get them online at craftoutlet.com they're not really expensive approximately two dozen of these green Chenille stems some 10in red mesh to be our accent color some wired ribbon a 14inch wreath form I got mine at the Dollar Tree and finally my wire cutters my rotary cutter my hot glue gun and also a few zip ties the first thing we're going to do is set up our wreath form I am going to place the Chanel stem in between the two support bars across two inner rings I'm just going to come in between the two support bars pull in my Chanel s and twist it down tight around the two rings and then I need to continue around my reath form I'm doing the inner ones first there will be six of these Chenille stems and I will just twist them tight around two of the [Music] Rings now it's time to start the second set of Chanel stems I'm going to place place a chenel stem in between a support bar and the first set of Chanel stems right between the two of them and of course I'm going to go around two rings so there will be two chenel stems per section let me show you what I mean I'm going to go in and twist it around the two outer Rings give it a couple of snug pulls and by the way if they slide around too much and you don't get them tight enough you can always add a drop of hot glue on the back and so I'm going to twist those in and that's what it looks like around the two sections now let's move to the next two on this outer section you will have 12 Chanel stems so six on the inner two rings 12 on the outside with a total of 18 Chanel stems to set up this wreath there are different ways to set up a wreath I have a couple that I'm comfortable with this is just my favorite one so I tend to stick to it now it's time to place our mesh on the wreath I did try a couple of different methods but I found this to be the best one for the thickness of this material so I'm just going to gather up about 6 or 8 in in from the end of the starting point of the mesh and I'm going to place it down onto my wreath form very close to a set of the inside Chanel stems and I'm going to take a zip tie and attach it as close as I can to the Chanel stem I'm not going to place it inside the Chanel stems because this particular mesh is 21 in long and it takes up a lot of room now it's time to put the mesh onto the wreath form I'm going to make 10in poops I'm just going to measure here on my cutting mat each time till I get 10 in and then I will just pull it over and place it down into the next set of chanille stems and cinch it down a couple of times and you want to go ahead and fluff it as you go because this is again very thick mesh and now I'll speed up this process as I go along and finish my six poofs on the inside rings just repeating the same process over and over 10in poofs I really do like this mesh it is almost like a fabric because it is very thick now it's time to work on our second ring of Chanel stems I'm going to drop down with my mesh as close as I can to the next set of Chanel stems and I'm just going to use a zip tie and place it around the ring there to hold the fabric very close to that set of Chanel stems I'll just cinch it tight and cut off the excess with my wire cutters and now we'll repeat basically the same thing we did on the first set of Chanel stems we're going to start making 10-in poofs fluff our mesh as we go and work our way around the outside of our wreath form and of course that gives us a total of 12 poofs on the outside and six poofs on the inner [Music] rings once I'm finished I'll just pull my mesh out to the side and cut off about 6 to 8 in with my scissors then I'm going to poke it back through the wreath form in the back and attach it with a zip tie once again and then just cut off the excess with my wire cutters now I'm going to cut 10 in pieces of this 10in red mesh I'll just pull it across my cutting mat and cut it with my rotary cut but and I'm going to need nine pieces this is going to be the accent color that I'm going to put into the wath I'm just going to take my mesh and roll it up and make a [Music] curl and then I'll just pinch it in the center and then place it down on the wreath form and twist it down into the Chanel stems I'm going to put the red mesh in every other set of Chanel stems so I'll only need nine pieces I don't want the red to be too overwhelming when I get the wreath all together and that's why I'm not going to use a whole lot of it I'm just going to put it in every other set of Chanel stamps and just twist that down snugly now I'm going to cut some ribbons to be the ribbon tails in my wreath I'm going to cut nine pieces that are 12 in Long of this green color and also this watermelon print so nine green and nine of the [Music] watermelon and once I've cut those I'm going to fold all of them in half just to make the process easier and then I will fold the ends in half and cut at a diagonal from the fold to the outer edge so that I can notch or doveet tail all of the ends of my ribbon Tails this takes a little bit of time but it is worth it in the end before I move on to the next step I'm going to take my Chanel stems that have the red accent mesh and roll them around my pencil and just just twist them down into the wreath I decided I would go ahead and get half of them done and then I will do the second half when I'm putting in my ribbon Tails now I'm going to take my two ribbons and cross one diagonally on top of the other place them down into my Chanel stems that do not have the red mesh fluff them out really nicely because they do have wire in these ribbons and then as I go I'm going to twist down my chal stems around my pencil and just poke them down into the wreath if they bother you you could always cut them off with your wire cutters and now I'm just going to work my way around my wreath every other set of chenille stems putting in my ribbon Tails Crossing them one on top of the other giving them a good tug and fluffing them out and roll down the chanille stems and that's all you do over and over as as you complete your way around the wreath making a wreath is a lot of fun and it's actually very soothing and the more you make them the faster you get and the more shortcuts you [Music] learn now it's time to make a bow for our wreath I'm going to need a Chenille stem and a zip tie I'm going to use first of all this wide two 2 and 1/2 in watermelon ribbon and I'm going to make 4 in loops on each side and 8 in Tails I'll just pull those up to the top and then make another loop on each side so a total of two 4in loops on each side and an 8 in ribbon tail on each side and then once I have that like I want it I'll just pull it down and cut off the excess ribbon for my second ribbon I'm going to use this gingham green and white and I'm going to make loops on each side that are just a little smaller than that bottom 4in Loop and I will do three loops on each side and 8 in tails and then cut that off and then for the last ribbon I'm going to go back in with this beautiful watermelon ribbon and just do one loop on each side a little smaller and some tails that are little smaller as well I'll use a zip tie to go around my ribbon making sure that I get it right in the center place a Chenille stem in the back pull my chenel stem tight and then cut it off the excess with my wire cutters and then every bow needs a lot of fluffing so I'm going to give it a vigorous fluffing till I'm happy with the result and now let's attach our sign but first we need to take our heavy duty stapler and I just pulled the Rope down to the bottom and stapled it and then I'm going to staple the Chanel stems to each side and then we'll just use a little hot glue on top to make sure it stays in place to make a hanger for my wreath I'm just going to take a Chanel stem and twist it down at the top part of the wreath and I'll just use a little hot glue to secure it now to attach the side I'll just poke those Chenille stems right through my wreath pull it to the back and twist it on but not so tight that it pulls into the wreath you want it to kind of float on top of the wreath same thing with this bow I'm just adding it at the top of the wreath and with that our wreath is pretty much complete I can hardly wait to hang this one on my door I think this will be for the month of June hey friends thanks for stopping by don't miss our latest videos every Wednesday and Sunday at 700 p.m. hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use Ed this little bird that my mom gave me it does have a chip out of its beak but that's okay I think the paint's going to cover that so you won't be able to tell this candle holder that I picked up from Dollar Tree some Greenery from the Dollar Tree some of this self adhesive Moss matte from Walmart some white chalk paint and my glue gun and some glue sticks I'm going to start off by giving both of my pieces a good coat of my white chalk p paint now on this candle holder I started out with a flat brush even though I knew I was going to be stippling it to give it texture to make it resemble our bird and I probably should have either put some Mod Podge under this or roughed it up so that it would have held the paint better but it came out fine in the end now for my little bird you can see that I am using my stencil brush because it has so much um texture to it I wanted to make sure that my paint got down in there and I also want to give it a lot more texture I want this to look like concrete once I am finished with it now once this paint dries we're going to come back with our stencil brush and we're going to heavily stipple on this Candlestick I want it to look like it belongs with this bird we'll give this two good coats and then we're going to set it aside and let it completely dry now that our paint is dry I'm going to take some of this Moss mat and put it on top of my candle holder now you don't have to do this but it covers up the white so that if you can see anything through your green it just looks like grass under there but it also gives you something to glue your Greenery onto that is going to stick better than to that surface of that candlestick holder now we're going to take our Greenery and and I like to just cut it apart and then I'm going to glue it all the way around we're going to kind of give it almost like a nest effect but it is going to be sticking out now I still use those little pieces that I'm cutting out I didn't want it to stick too far out that's why I cut it the way I did but once I get this completely glued down those little pieces are going to be perfect to fill in under our bird and give it a more um Luxe look make it look more like it is sitting on a nest I'm going to glue my bird down and then we'll start cutting down those little pieces and you can see as we put them under there exactly what I was talking about I just used one little piece put some glue on it and kind of go around my bird and fill it in once you get all of your little pieces under your bird this project is complete [Music] hey y'all this is Kay for this project I'm going to be using a 14-in wood round that I got at hob Lobby they come in a package of three I got them on sale and this one is pretty thick I'm also going to be using this sign that says Welcome to our home also came from Hobby Lobby and I got them back when they changed and did it 40% off every other week I'm also going to be using this fabric that I got last week at Hobby Lobby I think it's bright and cheery and I just love it I'm going to be using some wired ribbon to make a bow the pink one came from Michaels the two in the middle came from craftoutlet.com and the one on the right came from Hobby Lobby in the sewing section and I'm also going to be using this 2 and 1/2 in wired ribbon from Hobby Lobby that was was in the spring collection this thin Green Grow grain ribbon it came from Michaels this lemon slice it's really flexible and it's made to put on the side of a straw it came in a package from the Dollar Tree some White Waverly chalk paint some acrylic paint in the colors Citrus Carmine and medium yellow and finally I'm going to use some Mod Podge some super glue fix all adhesive and my hot glue gun so the first thing I'm going to do is lay out a 5 in piece across my wood round off center I'm just moving it up where it will be bigger at the bottom once you draw out this 5 in piece then you have two straight lines for your bottom and your top and it's always lined up I'm going to use a little blue painters tape on both sides of my line and then I'm going to come in with some White Waverly chalk paint paint the edges and paint the center and this did take two coats while that dries I'm going to start working on our words that is going on the wood round I'm going to tape off at the top of home and I'm going to paint the word home in the citrus green paint I will also paint all of the edges around the word as well and then I taped off either side of the little line that is under welcome to hour and I painted it in White Waverly chalk paint and retrospect I probably should have used the pink now I'm going to remove this tape around both sides of my wood round and I'm just going to reuse the one piece because it's still plenty sticky stick it across the line and then I come in with more White Waverly chalk paint to seal those edges and that way I don't have any paint bleeding under when I come in with my pink and finally for this smallest area I'm going to come in with the Carmine pink acrylic paint this will be the top of my wood round I'm going to paint the part of the words welcome to hour in the medium yellow acrylic paint and this one took quite a while because I painted the front after taping everything off but then I had to paint all of those edges and in between and it took three or four coats to cover that brown on the sides but in the end I did feel that it was worth it now to cover the largest part of my wood round I'm going to use that fabric I showed you I'm just going to trim off a piece that has the Salvage at the side and then I'm going to come in with some mod podge and give it a nice pretty heavy coat across there and then we'll place down our fabric smooth everything and pull it tight and then I will come in with a coat of mod podge on the top as well and then I let this dry really well y'all before I cut it off now I'm going to make a bow for the piece and yes I did get pretty carried away with the amount of ribbon that I used and for the first ribbon I'm going to make 5in loops on each each side you want to turn that ribbon every time you come between the pegs and it makes a perfect Loop and then my Tails were about 8 in long I'll come in with this second color and I'm going to make those also about 5 in long and I keep my Tails just a little bit shorter for the third ribbon which has white lemons on the yellow background I made those Loops about 3 to three and 1/2 Ines and then we'll cut those tails off shorter for the pink one I'm going to come in and make two loops on each side they're about 3 in long maybe a little shorter and then finally I'm going to come in with this beautiful lemon rib it's not wired ribbon but it's really stiff and it has that nice green edging it was difficult to work with that's why my Loops turned out a little bit larger than I wanted because you just couldn't make them any smaller I'm coming in with a zip tie and I'm going to wrap it around the middle pull everything nice and tight and then we will cut off the excess zip tie I'm also going to to fluff my bow quite a bit dovetail my ends and eventually it turns out perfect and that's what it looks like so far I let my fabric dry overnight so it was nice and stiff and it made it really easy to come back with a utility knife and just trim around the edges and then I'm just going to cut two pieces of this grow green ribbon just a little bit larger than my sign and I'm going to glue it first of all here on the bottom and I'm going to cut cover up that fabric Edge that is white and I'll wrap it around the back and then we'll come in with the second piece and I just sort of split the difference between the White and the pink and I do the same thing just using my Precision tip glue gun I'm going to use super glue fix all adhesive from the Dollar Tree to attach Welcome to our home to the wood round once everything is nice and centered I'm going to put on a really heavy book and let it dry for about an hour now that everything is nice and dry I'm going to find the center of my piece I just use my mat to help me find the exact center I mark it on the back I'm going to take a soda can tab bend it slightly in the middle and then I'm going to place it down on the back with some hot glue once I have it set in place I let that dry and then put more hot glue on top now I'm going to attach my bow kind of to the side and you want to hold it and make sure it sets up really well before you do this next part I'm going to come in with some glue and that l lemon and and I use that clip that's on the back to actually clip it onto the zip tie before it dries and I love this piece because it reminds me of pink lemonade which is my favorite summer drink [Music] hey y'all it's Trish for this door hanger we are going to use this ladybug pattern I blew it up made PDFs of it and printed it out I did put a link to the PDF down below if you would like to have a copy some duck cloth or you could use drop cloth or burlap for this some ribbon of choice I'm using this that I got from Hobby Lobby some red and black acrylic paint some Chenille stem or pipe cleaners however you call them and some foam balls from the Dollar Tree I wanted black but I didn't have any so we'll just paint these some twine some grocery bags for stuffing and my glue gun and some glue sticks I knew I wanted to make a ladybug door hanger so I looked for an SVG and I thought this one was perfect I blew it up and printed it out and now we're just going to cut it out out and we're going to piece it together now you're going to have a lot of overlap for these but you want to have that overlap so that you can line them up properly and be able to have something to tape them down to our ladybug is kind of wide so we do end up with more pieces for her than we do for some of our patterns now once we get it cut out we're just going to line it up overlapping it until it fits and then you're just going to use clear tape to tape it down I like to put quite a bit of tape on mine because I want it to be really sturdy I sell these at craft shows they sell very well so I like to be able to use my patterns over and over now I'm going to take my fabric I double it over and then I just hold it in place and Trace around it with a pen or a pencil you can also pin it down if you're more comfortable with that then I just take my scissors and cut out both pieces before I start painting I'm going to use a pencil and go in and Trace out the head and then I'm also going to trace out those wings this is going to help with painting it when we get to that part before I paint my ladybug I want to work on these little balls for the antennas I stick them onto a toothpick and then I just paint them with my black acrylic paint and once I get them painted I stick them down in some foam and leave them to completely dry now we can paint our ladybug I'm using flag red acrylic paint by Apple Barrel you can use any red acrylic paint that you want to use we're going to give this a really good coat trying to get on those edges as well and then we'll set it aside and let it completely dry once the red paint is dry I'm going to come back in and for the body I'm using a small paint brush and some black acrylic paint and then once we get that part painted we're just going to flip it around and I'm going to paint the head of my ladybug again trying to make sure I get those edges and then we'll set this aside to dry now I'm going to come back in and do my dots for my ladybug I'm using one of those round sponge brushes like you get from the Dollar Tree and I am not doing any sort of pattern I'm just kind of plopping them on I want it to be Whimsical and I really like how this looks now for this one I did decide to paint the back of it I thought that it would make it look like the under side of the ladybug so I'm going to use my black acrylic paint and completely paint the back and set it aside to dry you don't have to do this if you don't want to because you're not going to see the back and as long as you don't get paint on it it's still going to look pristine now that our paint is dry I want to make a bow I'm just going to take my my ribbon and I pull off some and I start making Loops I try to make sure that I keep my Loops as even as possible and I do three on each side and leave some for the Tails now we're just going to trim it off where we want it then I take my bow and I scrunch up that Center piece just bringing them together then we're going to take a piece of twine and I wrap it around the center of this about six times and then tie it into a double knot at the back trim it off and we have a cute little bow I'm going to trim up those tails and then I fold them in half and cut them at an angle and we'll fluff it out for the antenna instead of cutting them out of my fabric I decided I wanted to make some so I took two Chenille stems I twisted one around and then I thought I was going to use it for a pattern for the other one but yeah that didn't work out so well so I just laid it down and twisted it up as well well fortunately these are very forgiving now I'm going to take my little foam balls I opened up my hole a little bit and I'm going to fill it with hot glue and stick it on the end of my Chenille stem and we have cute little antenna I'll put some hot glue on the other end of the chenille stem and then glue it onto the back of the top of our door hanger make sure you press it down really well now we can join the back to the front I'm going to put down some hot glue then I line up the back and we're going to press it down you're going to go all the way around I normally do this in small sections so my glue doesn't dry and you want to make sure that you leave an opening so that you can stuff this you see I did that on the bottom now we're going to flip it over and I'm going to stuff it with my grocery bags I don't like mine too thick so I just use a few but you put as many as you want and then we're going to close up that opening with a little more hot glue just make sure you line it up as best as you can to make a hanger we'll take some twine and thread it through a darning needle then I'm going to pull it through the back of my ladybug we'll tie knot leaveing a loop and trim it off now we're just going to take our bow and use some hot glue to glue it down to the front and with that this project is complete [Music] [Music] hey y'all this is K for this project I'm going to be using one of these 14in grap Vine race that I got at Hobby Lobby I believe it was $4.99 but I got mine a long time ago when they still had a coupon I'm going to be using some wired ribbon I got most most of mine at Hobby Lobby but I got some of it at craftoutlet.com I'm also going to be adding in a yellow with white polka dots I'm going to be using these two sunflowers they're quite large and I made sure that they didn't have a lot of orange on them because that looks more like fall sunflowers but these will be the kind that will be in the height of summer I'm going to use a couple of these white flowers that I just pulled from my stash this row of miniature sunflowers not sure where I got them from but I do like them very much the be a nice accent so if you've ever seen start with the bows and I'm going to make a really large bow first I'm making about 4 and 1/2 in loops on each side and my tails are at least 8 in I'm going to do two loops on the left and two loops on the right remember I'm just twisting the ribbon as I go down between the pegs now we're cutting that off and that's all we had left of this piece the second ribbon I'm going to be using a 1 and 1/2 in ribbon that is yellow with black polka dots and I'm doing the same thing except I'm leaving everything a little shorter smaller Loops two on each side and smaller Tails this would look cute with a black and yellow stripe as well but I didn't have any on hand so here's the third ribbon much smaller Loops again one on each side this time with an extra Loop right in the middle and that will help us hide our Chenille stem I'm going to come in with a zip tie through the back here here and then I'll place my Chanel stem in between there before I pull it tight and then once I'm satisfied with it that everything centered will pull it tight up tail those ends and I cut them several times before I was completely happy and then once again give it a good fluffing cuz every bow needs a lot of fluffing to be perfect now for the second bow I'm making about 3in loops on each side and about 6in tails and I'm going to put two of those loops on each side come in with the second one this is where I added the polka dotted ribbon this is a 1 and 1/2 in ribbon I'm making smaller Loops two on each side smaller Tails third ribbon I'm going to do a little bit smaller again and I'm only doing one loop on each side because it is a strong color ribbon we cut that off dovetailed our ends and give our bow a good fluffing of course I once again used a zip tie and I used a Chenille stem in the back this one requires a lot of tweaking just a little bit cuz I'm kind of a perfectionist now I'm going to attach it with my Chenille stems and a little hot glue at the top to the top left not right in the center I want it kind of to be to the side and then I'm going to put the smaller bow towards the bottom diagonally across these two pieces are the star of the show for this wreath for my florals I'm going to take those two sunflowers and I'm going to cut at an angle right below the second set of leaves and and then I'm just going to kind of poke them down in to the top of the biggest bow and to the bottom of the larger bow until I get them like I want them you can also use hot glue to attach them I'm coming in with the white flowers right around the bow just a little more color and finally I'm going to take those miniature sunflowers I'm going to cut them in half and I use some floral wire and I'm going to put the floor wire around the end and that's how I'm going to attach them down into the wreath they just didn't have enough stability on their on so once I get them wired up I'm going to place them in too and remember all of these are wired so you can manipulate your flowers and your bow till you get everything aesthetically pleasing and that's pretty much it I love how this turned out happy summer y'all [Music] hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use a scrap piece of red fleece that I had left over from some other projects a foodie that I got from the Dollar Tree some small rubber bands a child's sock from the Dollar Tree some stuffing out of an old pillow some craft fur I got mine from Pop Chef but you can get it at any craft store some ladybug stickers from Hobby Lobby a jot permanent marker some vase filler that I got from the Dollar Tree and my glue gun and some glue sticks to make the body of our gnome I'm just going to cut off the top part of my sock and before I put my fluff in I'm going to add some of that vase filler into the bottom of this now if you don't have these you could also use rocks we're just giving this some weight so that it stands up better then we're going to stuff our fluff in on top of that and you're just going to make it as round as you want your gnome to be then you're going to gather up the top wrap some rubber bands around it and trim off the excess to make our hat I'm going to take that piece of fleece and I put some glue along one Edge then I'm just going to roll it up into a cone shape making sure that you get it pointed at the top then you can just take your scissors and cut it kind of at a curve around the bottom and this is going to give you your cone hat now we'll take our craft fur and I'm going to measure how long I want my beard to be then we'll use our scissors and cut it off from the back this keeps you from mangling your fur now we'll measure measure it again and then I'm just going to cut it into a vshape to give it more of a beard look now you can do yours however you want it I just kept trimming mine until I was happy with it once you're happy with it you're just going to use some hot glue and attach it to the body of your gnome I start off just by putting it on the top just in case I need to move it and then once I'm happy I go around those edges and seal those as well so that it doesn't um Gap whenever you're looking at it now for the Hat I wanted to add some black dots to this to give it that ladybug look and since I didn't have any fabric that had black dots on it I just grabbed my jot permanent marker and started making dots on it and I think it turned out really cute now you could obviously use fabric that's already dotted but I wanted to use what I had on hand and I was really happy with it now we'll take it and I'm going to trim off the end because I had a little Jagged Edge there and we'll stuff it down onto the top of our gnome and then we're going to glue the back of it and around the edges you don't want to glue the front of it yet because we still have to put our nose on there now speaking of the nose we're going to take one of those footies and I'm going to take some fluff and make it into a ball and then stick it into the fooie and twist it around until you get a nose I'll use a rubber band to tie it off and then we're going to trim the excess and I'll take some hot glue and glue it right up under the edge of my hat and that's going to give me my nose now we can glue down the front of the hat and I just like to glue it onto the top of the nose as well and this gives it more of that Gnome look the last thing I wanted to do was add a couple of my ladybugs I added one to the bottom of the hat and one to the tip and with that this project was [Music] complete hey y'all this is K for this project I'm going to be using one of these 12in wood rounds that I got from the Dollar Tree they have a hanger at the top we're going to reuse that on this project but really nice quality I'm also going to be using one of these lemon napkins that I got at the Dollar Tree they come in a pack of 16 I'm going to be using one of these floral pics I got it at Walmart also this wooden word welcome also came from Walmart some wooden beads from my stash and one tumbling Tower block this cute 2 and 1/2 in wired ribbon that I got at Hobby Lobby in the spring section some Waverly chalk paint in the colors white and ink some acrylic paint in the color Kings gold my easy bow maker and a zip tie and finally I'm going to be using some parchment paper some clean wrap my hot glue gun and some Mod Podge so the first thing you want to do is remove this little hanger at the top do save that we're going to reuse it and then I'm going to put on just one coat kind of a medium coat and cover the entire front of this piece later on I did end up covering the back as well here's a quick tip did you know that all of these boxes of saren wrap and parchment paper have little tabs on the end and that if you push those in each time it holds the roll into the package and makes it much easier to tear just a little tip in case you didn't know that I'm going to to tear off two pieces of the parchment paper a little bit longer than the 12 in that we need so we have a little hanging over then I'm going to place one piece of parchment paper down onto my mat to protect it lay my painted wood round on top of that then I'm going to come in with a piece of Saran Wrap and straighten it out and place it on top of my wood round and it barely fits from side to side but only if you get it perfectly straight and the next thing we're going to do now is is take our napkin and kind of Center it onto the wood round because it's a little bit larger and you want to make sure that it is one ply that you do take off that bottom white piece then I'm just going to place another piece of parchment paper on top and then I'm going to have an hot iron and I'm going to iron it on if you're not careful you will iron in some wrinkles it does take a little practice I think with this I've only done it a few times myself but once it is adhered to the bottom I come in and I trim that up with my scissors and then I also come in and sand the edges as well with a downward motion and at this point we want to go in with some Mod Podge I'm using the gloss finish and I'm going to seal the front of it really well just a light coat though I painted the word welcome with the Waverly chalk paint in the color ink you could use whatever black paint you have I'm going to take six of the wooden beads and string them on to to a Chenille stem and I'm going to paint them also in the Waverly ink chalk paint then I took four of the beads strung those onto a chenel stem and I painted them in this acrylic paint called King's gold now I'm just going to stick them down in some styrofoam and I'm going to let them dry thoroughly I took a tumbling Tower block and I marked a line on it at half an inch in and then I just go around the circle tracing off the sides of that block each time about an half an inch in I wasn't too precise with it and by the way I did start just inside where the two um holes are at the top because I knew I could cover up the mistakes at the beginning with the bow that I'm going to make and I did draw the circle all the way around but you know what that's not even that necessary now I'm coming in with the black chalk paint the color ink and I'm going to paint every other Square in the black and that's what it looks like so far we'll let that dry and in the meantime we'll make a bow I'm using my easy bow maker but this is a very simple bow I'm just going to use 7in Tails 3 and 1/2 in Loops I'm going to do two loops on each side you just twist that ribbon every time you come between the pegs and we'll just cut that off dovetail the ends I'm going to come in with a zip tie fasten it right around the middle and tighten it down although I do wish I had put a piece of wire in the back before I had totally tightened it but that's okay we'll fix it later so I'll dovetail the ends give it a little fluffing and when that that bow is done as soon as the black paint was dry I went in with the White Waverly chalk paint and I'm going to paint every other one and I make sure that I cover up the line at the top this just gives it a little cohesiveness and just a little bit different look to the piece we'll reuse that twine that was at the top and string on our beads five on each side starting with the black finishing with the black and then I'll just divide them on each side and that's how the piece will hang now I'm going to take my bow and yes I did forget that wire but I'm going to take a little piece of stiff wire that I had and I'm going to wire it into the back behind my zip tie and once I do that I'm going to twist it around that little floral piece that I got from Walmart a little bit up from the bottom and I just kind of Bend the stem around and so that it gives my piece a nice rounded shape I'm going to place on the word welcome here towards the bottom I'm just using hot glue and my Precision tip glue gun and then I'm going to place my bow kind of to the right side of the piece I'll use first some hot glue right behind the bow itself and then I do come back and place some on the stem at the bottom and with that this piece is complete [Music] hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use this wood round that I got from Hobby Lobby these are the 14 in that come three in a pack and I get them when they're on sale a pattern that I traced out onto a piece of tissue I just traced around my wood round then I sketched in the lines and the letters for my wording I like to do this so that I have my Dimensions some white chalk paint and some acrylic paint in yellow purple pink blue green orange and red some clear acrylic matte sealer I got this from Hobby Lobby a jot permanent marker I also used a fine tip permanent marker a soda can tab some ribbon of choice I'm using what I had on hand that goes with the colors of my project and my glue gun and some glue sticks I love this beach Ballwood round that I found on Etsy but it is $26 and I normally don't spend that much on summer Decor I knew that we could make our own by using one of the wood rounds from Hobby Lobby so let's see how I did the first thing I wanted to do was give my wood round a good coat of my white paint this is going to help once I start adding my acrylic paints to this I won't have to use so many coats of it to get a good coverage when I have this white base I put one good coat and left it to dry now that our paint is dry I'm going to take my pattern that I made and I just scrib on the back with a pencil I like to do this because it gives me my Dimensions but you don't have to do this step you could sketch yours out onto your wood round I just didn't want to take a chance of making a mistake and having to erase the lines and maybe mess up my paint now I'm just going to lay it on top of my project and I trace over my lines and then once I get my lines on there we can start our painting I'm going to start off with my orange paint and I thought that it was a little bit too bright for this project I was wanting to do more of the lighter colors kind of in a sheret palette um you could do whatever you like though if you like those brighter colors then pick brighter colors for yours I did mix mine with some white to tone it down a little bit and then I went ahead and painted the rest of my sections now you're going to notice that I do skip in between each color this is going to give it a little bit the time to dry before I paint those sections in between I also didn't do my colors in the same order as the one in the picture but you can do them in any order you want to that's the beauty of this we're using this as a jumping off point but you're going to make it your own I did give each of these colors one and A2 coats that just means I gave it a good coat and then I came back and did any touchups and then I set this aside and let it completely dry I come back in with my red and I paint the center of this now as I was painting it didn't look round to me so I just kept going in and rounding it off a little bit since it's not centered it's never going to look completely round it shouldn't look that way once our colors are completely dry I'm going to come back in with some white acrylic paint and one of those round sponge brushes like you get from the Dollar Tree and I'm going to make my polka dots now you can see that the center of these did not look solid but that's okay I came back in and fixed that and then I'm going to set this aside and let it dry once all of my paint was dry I'm going to come back in with a fine tip marker and I'm just going to do some outline it and I kind of sketch it I don't want it to look perfect I want it to look like it's sketched in there now this marker came from the Dollar Tree it has a brush tip and I absolutely love it for this kind of detail I'm going to go over each one of my lines and around my circle then I'm going to go around the perimeter and then I'm going to come back with some white paint and a small brush and I'm just going to do some highlighting right outside of all those lines that I made just to give this a little bit of detail and some interest now we're going to add our wording and I'm doing it the same way I did my lines I'm just going to scribble on the back of this with a pencil then I lay it on my project and Trace over it and then I'm going to come back in with a sharpie marker or a jot marker and fill this in now I like to use these because it gives me more control but you absolutely need to seal this because if it gets wet it will run to add a hanger to our project I'm just going to take a soda can tab I bend it up a little bit put it in the center and flood it with hot glue and then set it aside to dry the last thing I want to do is make a bow I'm going to take each one of my ribbons and cut two pieces I started off with 8 in pieces for the bottom and then I made them a little bit shorter as I went up then for my thicker ribbons I'm going to dovetail those that just means fold them in half and cut them at an angle but then once I get down to my smaller ribbons I'm just going to cut those at an angle they're really too small to dovetail now we're going to stack those up we're crisscross them as we go up and then once we get everything in place we're going to pinch it into the center I take another small piece of ribbon wrap around a couple of times tie it into a double knot and then trim off those ends that gives us our bow we'll fluff that up use some hot glue to attach it and with that this project is complete [Music] hey y'all it's k for this project I'm going to be using one of these cutting boards that I got at the Dollar Tree it's about 5 and A2 in by 8 and 1/2 in and they just got a ton in stock I'm also going to be using one of these wooden words that says hello it came from Walmart I'm going to be using shades of red and black ribbon some of it is wired and I'm using up some of my scraps I'm going to be using Waverly chalk paint in the colors White ink and Crimson I'm going to be using one of these ladybug pics I got mine in Hobby Lobby I'm also going to be using these 1in letters that spell ladybug I did it on my Cricut Joy but you can just as easily use alphabet stickers that you get at a hobby store going to be using three small screw eyes and some E6000 and some hot glue the first thing I'm going to do is give my piece the front and the edges a really good coat of my White Waverly chalk paint this did take two complete coats for good coverage the next thing I'm going to do is paint the word hello in the color ink I'm going to paint all these little nooks and crannies and edges and of course the front this covered with one coat I let the piece dry really well and then I'm using some painters tape and I'm just going to place it down about halfway across the edge there all the way around and then flip it over and I'm going to give the edge a coat of White Waverly chalk paint to seill up those edges so hopefully I won't have a lot of bleeding and now I'm going in with the red which is the color crimson in Waverly and I'm going to give the edges a really good coat and that just gives us kind of like a frame I'm going to measure in about 2 in from the top and about half an inch from the Edge on the back side and I also indicated where the middle is on the top then I take my drill and I'm going to pre-drill and this was really hard to drill into y'all I'm not sure about this bamboo stuff maybe I need a new drill but I drilled holes in the back as well so that I can place in all of my screw eyes and here you can see where I've screwed them into the back and also to the top of the piece I'm going to place the word ladybug here at the bottom about 1 and a/4 in from the bottom I'm just centering it and I did draw a light line with my pencil to make sure I had it just right I got this idea because a friend of mine a teacher friend always would say hello ladybug to all of the little girls who came to visit her classroom because you don't know their name most of the time but you do want to greet them in a kind manner so hello ladybug is kind of close to my heart I'm going to attach the word hello with some E6000 here at the top right above everything then I'm going to take one of those little pics and I'm going to cut off most of the wire but leave a little bit to just give some extra grip to that glue and I'm going to place it on the side of my o you could also place it in the middle of the O and then for one of the wooden flat ladybugs I'm going to place it just to the left of our word here and now we need to make a messy bow to go on top I only had a small piece of this particular ladybug ribbon so it kind of dictated the size of my bow it was about 6 in I folded it in the middle I dovetailed the ends and then I'm going to use this red with black polka dots on top of it and cross it at a x then I'll also come in and add this red kind of sheer ribbon I think that came from Hobby Lobby and then I have this polka dotted ribbon that's kind of thin I'm going to cut a couple of pieces to go across our eggs and then I'm also going to cut a piece to go around the center of our piece then I'm just going to cross them pinch them in the middle we'll take our extra piece of ribbon tie that around the middle as tight as we can I'll also secure it with some hot glue and then you know you just start hacking at it cutting off the back piece that's too long I cut the sides I dovetailed some of them I cut some of them at just an angle and later I even cut it some more when I wasn't on camera and you just fluff it up and and it makes a cute little bow I also took the wire that was left over from the ladybug that I cut off and I wired it into the back of the bow as tight as I could and I used that wire to attach it to the screw eye at the top of the piece now I'm going to turn it onto the back cut a piece of JW twine that's longer than the back of my piece I tied a couple of knots on each end and then I secured it with hot glue so that we can hang it later and that's it easy peasy and summer [Music] fun hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use this little box that I picked up from Goodwill Outlet for 59 this Prima bird mold and some clay that I got from Amazon some floral foam from the Dollar Tree some flowers of choice I'm using these that I upcycled from some old projects some white chalk paint my glue gun and some glue sticks and not shown some fix all adhesive we're going to start off by making our clay pieces so that they have plenty of time to dry I put some corn starch into my mold this is going to help it release once we're finished finished then I take my clay and I work it in my hands until it's soft and pliable then you're going to press it down into your mold and peel off the excess y'all I have to say I am so impressed with this mold it was about $15 and that's more than I normally spend on molds but I can definitely tell in the quality it is so deep and it leaves such beautiful detail on this clay once you release it now we're going to completely clean clean this up and then once you got it all cleaned up you're just going to flip it over peel back the mold and let your pieces completely dry now that our pieces are dry we will attach them to our box I like to use some fix all adhesive and a little bit of hot glue that's just going to hold it until that sets now we can start painting our box I will admit to you guys I made a horrible mistake with this I should have painted this box at least one coat before I added my clay pieces on there you can see that I had to grab a little brush to try to get into all of those nooks and crannies and it was a mess it took me forever to get all of those filled in but once I finally did I came back with my brush and I gave this a really good coat of paint I'm going to paint the outside and the inside of mine just because I like for everything to look finished I gave it two good co coats and then I set it aside to completely dry now that our paint is dry I love this I think it has such beautiful detail and it's just what this little box needed we're going to take our styrofoam and I'm going to cut it down so that it fits in my box it didn't fit since it flared out and then we're going to start adding our flowers now you hear us say this all the time we are not florist we don't really have a method Kay calls it poking posies we just kind of stick things in until we like how they look and once you're happy with how your flowers look this project is [Music] complete we'd love for you to take a moment and let us know what you think because your comments fuel our creativity hey y'all it's k for this project I'm going to be using this little wood round that I got at the Dollar Tree it says welcome on it and just so you know I tried to remove the welcome before I painted it but it would not come off without breaking so we're going to use it this way I'm also going to be using a couple of these glass stickers that I got at the Dollar Tree the watermelon ones this watermelon ribbon that I got at Hobby Lobby when it was on sale I think it was 50% off it's 1 and 1/2 in wide it is not not wired I'm going to be using an assortment of ribbons in red and green that I pulled from my stash they vary from 1 and 1/4 in to 3/8 I'm going to use this scrap piece of fabric in red and white gingo you could also use scrapbook paper for paints I'm going to use my White Waverly chalk paint I'm also going to be using some acrylic paint in bright red and pop green I'm going to use some Mod Podge also some fabric attack and my hot glue gun just so you know this wood round is 8 and 1/2 in across I'm going to remove this tie at the top and I'll just save it to use later then I'm going to come in with my White Waverly chalk paint and I'm going to give the front across the word in between all of the edges as well a good coat of my White Waverly chalk paint when the paint becomes dry I'm going to draw a straight line above and below the word welcome spacing it about a qu of an inch from the word then for the top part I'm going to come in with my mod podge and I'm going to be very generous but very even and give it a nice coat of mod podge and then I'll place down my fabric making sure that I'm straight across my line once I get it like I want it I'm going to put a coat of mod podge on the top as well now I'm going to work on the bottom here I'm going to use a little painters tape and place it there across my line and then I'll use my white paint to seal it and then once that's done I'm going to come in with my pop green and I'm going to give it about three coats now that my fabric is dry I'm going to cut that off at the top and now I'm going to come in and paint the word welcome with the red this color is called bright red and it took three coats for really good coverage I'm just using a tiny brush and we'll just make it work I'm going to cut off a piece of ribbon long enough to fit across my line here and then I'm just going to use my fabac and place on a generous amount and then I'll place it down on my sign here and I'm going to give it a lot of smoothing to make sure there are no bumps or wrinkles now it's time to make a messy bow to go on top of our sign I'm going to cut all of my pieces at 5 in you can cut yours however you would like I'm using three green ribbons and three red ribbons I'm going to place them on an X each one Crossing them one on top of the other and once I get my pattern like I want it I'll just squeeze it there in the middle and get it gathered I'm going to tie a piece of twine around the middle the one that came off the side and now we can do lots of fluffing for my wider ribbons I'm also going to cut them at an angle so that we can dovetail the ends cutting from the center to the edge and that's what it looks like so far now I'm going to take that extra piece of ribbon that I cut off and I'm going to tie a knot right in the middle place a little glue here on my twine and I'm going to place that knot and squeeze it around my bow once it's a little bit dry I'm going to tie knot in the back and now it's time to trim up our sign just going to round off the sides of that ribbon place our bow here at the top with a little hot glue I'm going to use a soda can Tab and bend it in the middle Place some glue on the back now we're going to use our stickers I'm going to put summer so it will say welcome summer and also this little piece of watermelon here on the corner and with that our project is [Music] complete hey y'all it's Trish for this project we're going to use some wood slices I will need four but I only had two so we're going to use what we had on hand some acrylic paint in red green black and white and some clear acrylic sealing spray now you could also use Mod Podge or any other brand of sealing spray I am not one who changes out their decor for every season but as a Creator I love to add a little bit of each season to my home I have found the easiest way to do that is either by decorating my tear tray or making small signs that I can incorporate into my Decor but another fun way is to make coasters there's so many different ways that you can make coasters and they always come in handy for these we're going to use some wood slices and we are going to make these watermelon slices now the fun thing about this is that you could make these any fruit that you want to there are so many tropical flavors for the summer and all you got to do is just freehand them on here fruit is never perfect so you don't have to be perfect with your design either which makes this a great project for the kids this is something fun that you can do with them while they are out of school and it gives them a way of adding to the decor something they can be proud of now for these I started out with a white base coat and I am using acrylic paint for these projects that have moisture in acrylic paint is the best way to go because moisture can destroy chalk paint now you are going to be sealing these so if Chalk Paints all you have on hand just make sure that you seal them really well once my two coats of white paint had dried I come back in with my red acrylic paint and I'm just doing an inner circle now you see I am not worried about this being perfect if you've ever sliced open a watermelon you know they're not perfect and I just love doing projects like this once I get my red paint down and I let it dry just a little bit I'm going to come back with a darker green color and I just paint a little edge around it making sure that I leave some of the white for that area between the Rind and the meat of the watermelon now I didn't have to make it get really dark I like the striations in it because a watermelon has striations in it as well now for our seeds all we're going to do is take a round paint brush we dip it in our black acrylic paint you kind of smoosh it down and then pull it up and it's going to give you like a teardrop and that is perfect for your seeds once you get those on there set it aside and let it completely dry then the last thing you need to do is seal this I'm using a sealing spray just because I prefer it but you could also use Mod Podge for this you just want to make sure that you seill it well and then once it dries this project is [Music] complete hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use one of these wood rounds that I picked up from the spring section at Hobby Lobby I love the this big thick Rim that it has on it and I was going to use it for a different project and I ended up not doing it and I think it'll be perfect for this one some of these flowers that I got from a yard sale for a dollar I think they originally came from Hobby Lobby some wording that I cut out using my Cricut I did use my Cricut for this project because I'm giving it to someone else but you can do this if you don't have a Cricut I'll put a link to a video down below where where we showed you five ways to do lettering for your projects and I'll also put a link to the PDF and the SVG some white chalk paint and bright yellow acrylic paint some ribbon of choice I'm not sure where this yellow check ribbon came from but this khaki colored mesh ribbon came from Hobby Lobby some floral wire my heavy duty staple gun and my glue gun and some glue sticks I'm going to start off by giving my would round a good coat of my white chalk paint now I ended up doing like one and 1 half coats which just means that I gave it a good coat let it dry and then I did any touchups that it needed I painted the top of this and the sides once that paint is dry I'm going to come back and take some painters tape and mark off for my stripes I came down about a third of the way I just kind of eyeballed it and put one piece of painters tape then I measured down 4 and 1/2 in and made little marks that you won't be able to see once you paint it and I put another piece of painters tape now I'm going to tear off a small piece to use as a marker and then we'll put one more piece of painters tape down and remove our marker and we will be ready to paint before I paint with my yellow paint I'm going to come back with my white chalk paint and paint over the edges of my tape this is just going to seill it down and it's going to prevent um bleeding under it and this gives you a nice sharp edge you can do this with your original color paint or with mod podge and then once that's dry we're going to come back with our bright yellow paint and I'm just going to paint the top of this with my acrylic paint I gave it two coats and let it dry once it's dry we can remove our tape and y'all know this is the most satisfying part look at those crisp lines and then we're going to add our wording I just use my transfer tape on top of my wording you burnish it down then we're going to line it up use our scraper to burnish it down and then pull off our transfer tape now if you have a little bit of problem you saw that L try to lift as well just use your fingers and you can press it back down now we're going to do the same thing with the sunshine and you may notice that my tape lifted my paint just a little bit that's because it's been raining here and I don't think it got quite dry there in the middle but that's okay we'll just use a little bit of paint and a small brush and touch it up to make a bow for this I'm going to start off with my mesh ribbon I just make two loops and then leave the ends for the Tails I didn't measure this I just kind of held it up against the sign to see if it was the right width and then once I do that I scrunch it up in the center use a little bit of wire to wrap around it and we have a bow we're going to do the same thing with our yellow ribbon I do like to make it just a little bit smaller but it's the same process just make two Loops leave your Tails scrunch it up in the center wrap it with some wire then you're going to trim that off and press it down fluff it out and you have a bow I like to dovetail mine this just means that I take those Tails fold them in half and cut them at an angle and this is going to give me a doveet tail and then I'm just going to join them together by using a little bit of hot glue now I'm going to take that leftover piece of ribbon I fold it in thirds and then I'm going to wrap it around the center and use a little bit of hot glue to secure it this is going to hide that wire and it's also going to make my bow more secure at the Joint where I put it together now we'll put some of those flowers down I like to cut them apart and just kind of place them and see what I want before I start joining it to my sign and once I am happy with my placement for this one I'm just going to gather them up and I use my staple gun to secure them I like the staple gun when I can use it because it does hold better but you could also use glue for this now we're going to glue our bow down on top of it and with that this project is [Music] [Music] complete hey y'all this is Kay for this project I'm going to be using one of these 18in Grapevine Reese that I got at Jo-Ann's when they were on sale and I still lived in New Mexico this one has an oval shape to it I'm going to be using a cute bow to be the centerpiece for my wreath and if you would like to see how I made it just stick around to the next craft and you can see exactly how I did it on my probo the hand I'm going to be using some silk flowers mine are geraniums because the person I'm making this wreath for their favorite color is red I got these at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off and I did have to go into a second one to have enough like flowers for this wreath I'm also going to be using a few ladybugs two of the pics they came from Hobby Lobby and a couple of the flat ones those came from the Dollar Tree and to make this project easy I'm going to use my grace Monroe home glue Skillet and my hot glue gun to a few years ago I made a wreath using some red geraniums from Hobby Lobby and they were much easier to use and the reason these aren't easy to use is that you can't Slide the leaves towards the bloom so you have to kind of cut below that which means you're going to squish them when you put them down into the grape vine also it didn't have enough leaves some of the stems didn't have leaves at all so I cut off all the separate leaves that were on this stem really weird bunch of flowers but that's okay I made it work anyway so I went in and I also cut off all those green leaves so that I can add those I just trimmed up the stems so it didn't show so much and and I did make it work in the end then I just divided my bundle into light pieces and like I said I did end up cutting about four flowers off of another Bunch as well at least I had bought more than I thought I needed the first thing I did was decide what I wanted to be the bottom part of my wreath and then I came in with my bow and it has covered floral wire and I work that floral wire through those grape Vines and find a larger one to twist it around around and I twisted it into the back and I used hot glue to make sure it stays in place and that's the beginning of our wreath don't let your glue get too hot it's better if it's a little thicker honestly mine got a little hot because I didn't have as much in there as I thought but you do dip your florals and then you kind of twist it around to make sure you don't track that glue all over your mat I did a little bit of that too I think I got in too big of a hurry but then I'm going in and I'm dipping them and you'll see in a minute I'm going to add some more glue but I'm going to start on the right and I place them in and then I place them to the left I'm not trying to make mine exactly symmetrical I'm just trying to balance out the green and the red on each side of the wreath in any places that I thought needed it what I did was go in and take some of those pieces that were just green leaves and I would add those in between the flowers just to make it as balanced and full of a wreath as possible and I'm not going to go all the way to the top I'm going to stop a little over halfway on each side because I do want my grapevine wreath to show through I like The Rustic feel of that and you do want to pick it up occasionally off the table and look at it face on and see where the holes are and where you want to add things because sometimes it's hard to tell when you're looking over the wreath and honestly the hard hardest part of this wreath is probably knowing when to quit but basically when you have it balanced and about the same amount of flowers not necessarily exactly the same but close on each side going to be adding a couple of these ladybug pics that I got from Hobby Lobby they came in a package with some bumblebees I'm just going to wire them down into my piece so they kind of spring out from the florals one on the right and one on the left I do use hot glue to make sure that Floral St stays exactly in that wreath where I want it and I think that just adds a nice little extra touch then I'm going to glue some also on the end of my streamers here the red and black ones these are the flatback small ones that came from the Dollar Tree and with that this project is [Music] complete for this project I'm going to be using my probo the hand to make a nice full bow it has a totally different look than if you use the easy bow maker it comes with all these removable pegs so that you can adjust each time how large you want to make your bow and how many Loops you want to make in your bow I always think of the pegs across the middle of the board as the fingers and the base Peg at the bottom as the thumb I'm going to leave two off right now at each in but I came back later and I actually removed two more but this is what it looks like so far and I wanted to point out this nail at the bottom you do use that to make your bow your probo of the hand also comes with a spool holder that will hold three spools of ribbon even large ones and they do sell an extra one you can buy let's go ahead and set up our first three ribbons I'm going to be using this yellow and white with ladybugs on it first it is wired ribbon 2 and 1/2 in wide we'll place it down to the left here then we'll come in with the second ribbon which is the polka dot red and black this is a 1 and 1/2 in wired ribbon and I believe it came from craftoutlet.com also we're going to place it onto the spool and bring it off the back in the same direction then we'll come in with the third ribbon which is red with black polka dots also 1 and 1/2 in ribbon that came from craftoutlet.com and we will pull it around the back as well once you get the three ribbons coming off the back you want to stack them in just the manner I'm showing here one on top of the other and then you will pull them around the back of your piece and then we'll pinch it up about 2 in from the end nice and tight and take our heavy gauge wire and twist it around the middle and that will hold it nice and tight in place till we move over to our probo the hand and attach it to the pegs I'm going to slide my spool holder to the right here that's the position I will be using it in and I wanted to show you my floral wire stems that I'm using I got these at Hobby Lobby they are covered wire so it makes them very durable very sturdy some other items you will need to make this bow are your wire cutters and also some light duty floral wire we'll use it to make a cheater line for our bow and the last thing I'm going to use is my fluffing box mine is homemade because I don't have the one that originally came with it I just have a big screw eye there in the middle on a 12x 12 in piece of wood that I got out of the trash you want to take your Ribbon pull it off the side of your spool holder there slowly make a loop pull it around to the left around the middle Peg at the top and across that Peg at the bottom and then we'll take and place it right in the middle of the home Peg and hold it with our thumb we'll take that heavyduty wire and twist it around the top of the Peg and just leave it alone for the second piece of the wire we're going to pull it straight down wrap it around that nail I showed you earlier one time and then poke it up under your board and leave it alone and you don't touch it until we get this bow almost completely made now we're going to place on our cheater wire we're going to use about 20 in of some lightweight floral wire and I'm just going to come up under my ribbon and twist it around the post and pull it out the back Place One Piece straight up and one piece straight out that's really important so that you don't get tangled up while we're making our bow now let's go ahead and complete that first Loop I'm going to pull it towards the back here on the left I'm going to give it a half twist bring it to my fingers there in the middle and then I'm going to use my cheer wire and go ahead and secure it you want to wrap it to hard twist I'm going to go to the right and wrap it around that first Peg there bring it to my home Peg or thumb I'm going to give it a half twist bringing it right to the middle of the peg not the bottom or the top and again you take your cheater wire and you're going to pull it two hard twists only two and again pulling the last one straight up and the first one straight down just keeping it straight every time now let's come off the back here we're going to the left wrapping it around the next Peg to the left bring it down to our home poost or our Thumb in the middle place it against your thumb every time let's go ahead and give that cheater wire two hard twists and then pull that wire straight up and straight down and we're going to do the same thing moving to to the right and then to the left each time always making sure that we bring it to the center of our home Peg or our thumb and attaching it with the cheater wire when you get really good you don't even need a cheater wire you can hold it tight enough that you don't pull your pegs out but you keep your bow nice and tight and now I'm going to speed it up for you because we are doing the exact same thing moving each time to a different side and in just a minute here you will see me running out of one of the ribbons and that's when I decided to remove a peg from the right and a peg from the left and right here is where it happened right after this Loop and that's okay because we still had a very full bow plenty full for the wreath that I made but each time I did Twist on that cheater wire to keep everything tight and when I figure out right here I'm going to go and remove the end post and what we're going to do is cut the ribbon even cut the other two to match the one that was short and then we'll gather up the ends just like we did when we started about an inch and a half or 2 in in just go ahead and pleat that up and then we'll bring it down to our post and attach it with our and then we'll bring it down to the middle of the post and attach it to the cheeter wire folding the edges in the next thing you want to do is take your heavy duty wire and unspool it from the top unfasten it from the bottom and then we'll pull it together really twight and twist it around all of our ribbons and then I'm going to cut off my cheeter wire at this point we can remove the pegs and remove our ribbon from the probo the hand and for this loop at the bottom we're just going to cut it right down the middle and that's going to be the tails for our bow and for those Tails I'm going to Dove 10 F them and make sure they're nice and even now I'm going to bring it over to my fluffing board and you just want to take that wire and twist it down into that screw eye in the middle of the board and you don't have to twist it very many times just enough to secure it if it's really long you can pull it to the side and attach it to a nail and have it even more secure then we start fluffing you're just going to start at one end and pull those ribbons apart you want to pull the black with the polka dots out to the side you want to pull the red one with the black out to the side and then the yellow one and each time you kind of Alternate which one comes out first and you work your way across the bow until you get to the other side this makes a different looking bow than what I do with the easy bow maker with the easy bow maker to me the ribbons are stacked one on top of the other this is a loopy integrate gred bow if you will and at this point I'm just going to remove it from my fluffing board and then I'm going to pull my Tails straight out the front do a little additional fluffing but pretty much this bow is [Music] [Music] complete hey y'all it's TR for this project I'm going to use this little terracotta pot that I got from Walmart for 88 C you can also get these two in a pack from the Dollar Tree some faux fur that I had left over from another project you could also use the dust mop from the Dollar Tree some twine a wooden bead or a half bead and I'm using a faux succulent and some floral foam but you could also put a live plant in these as well the inspiration for this project originally came from these pens that I saw on Pinterest where they had the painted gnome on the side of the pot I thought these were so cute and I wanted to do a 3D version of this I made a couple of these on a live that we did a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to include it in today's video for Pinterest Inspirations just in case you didn't get to see it then since I am going to be using a faux plant in this I went ahead and cut down my floral foam so that it would fit in my pot and I stuck it down in there and then we're going to start adding our twine I put down a good bit of hot glue right under the lip of this pot and I start sticking my twine down in it and then I just keep going around working my way up we're going to cover this lip and it's going to be my gom's hat I think the these are so stinking cute they sell well at craft shows they're great to have for small things that people can pick up especially if you go ahead and put a plant in it and you can make these with any size planner you can make a whole family of these just by using different size pots and I think that they would be stinking adorable now we're going to make his beard by using some of this faux fur that I had left from another project I'm just going to cut it in kind of a vshape then I put some hot glue right at the top and I push it right under the edge of that twine I want it to get just as close to it as I can now mine was a little bit too long so I trimmed it off so that it was the same as my pot and then I'm going to use some more hot glue to secure it in place now I'm going to take my fingers and kind of push aside some of the fur to make like a little mustache and then we'll use our half bead and some hot glue and glue it right there in the center for his nose now we'll add our succulent to this and with that this project is complete [Music] [Music] [Music] hey y'all it's Trish for this project I'm going to use this little 5 by7 frame that I picked up from Goodwill Outlet it's not real wood but I like the coloring on it so I think it's going to work fine for this project even though I typically get wood frames one of these grilled Toppers that I got in a pack of three from Walmart some scrapbook paper some Waverly Ivory chalk paint a wooden monogram initial I got this one from the thrift store but you can pick these up at any craft store some pill and stick Moss I got mine from Walmart you can also get it from Hobby Lobby it's just cheaper from Walmart and my glue gun and some glue sticks the inspiration for this project came from this one that I found on Pinterest I love the mossy letter in the middle of the frame and y'all know that I love using old frames so I had to give this one a shot now it has burlap in the background and I decided that I would rather have the Barnwood chicken wire look so we're going to use some scrapbook paper and a grill grate the first thing I'm going to do is paint my frame I removed the backing and I took the glass out and threw it away because we're not going to kn need it then I'm going to start painting now this Frame is not wood and typically I do get wooden frames I'm not sure why I ended up picking this one up but it did take about three coats of this paint before it stopped looking streaky I would put a coat on let it dry then do another coat now I could have roughed this up and it would have stuck better and I wouldn't have had to use as much paint but I like the color ing on this and I was afraid if I sanded it it was going to mess that up and I want it to show through when I distress it while our frame is drying I'm going to take the backing from this I lay it on the back of my scrapbook paper and Trace around it then we're just going to cut that out and then we're going to do the same thing for this grate I did use a permanent marker that made it stand out and I just traced around my backing and this Cuts really easily now now these are the Tim Holtz um scissors so they're a little more heavyduty but it just popped right through those little pieces for this letter I'm just going to lay it on the back of my moss and I trace around it with my permanent marker and then we're just going to cut it out I love this pilling stick moss and there's a lot of it in there they have it folded like four times so you get a lot of this and it has lasted me for a long time you don't have the mess with this that you have with regular moss and you don't have to use hot glue so you don't burn your fingers once we got this cut out I just peel off the back and then you're just going to place it on there and stick it down pressing it around those edges now it didn't completely cover the edges and that's okay I just used the pieces that were left over when I cut it out I trim them down and stick it on and when you push it down it Blends together and you really can't even tell where your seams are we're going to go all the way around this and get it completely covered now that our paint is dry I'm going to use a wet wipe and do a wet distressing on this now because this Frame was slick this comes off really easily so I just take my wet wipe and I go around the edges and I take off as much as I want to give it the distress look that I like you can do this however you choose now we'll put it all together I put my WI in then I put my scrapbook paper and put the back back on and lock it into place then we're just going to flip it over take our monogram and we'll use hot glue to stick that down to the front of this and with that this project is complete easy peasy and really pretty [Music] thank you so much for watching today if you saw something you liked we hope you'll give us a big thumbs
