Happy National Scrapbook Day to you!
How are you spending the day?
At a crop? Taking a class? Getting together with friends?
Or hanging out online with us?
Any way you chose to spend the day is great with us!
All week long we've shared ideas for Mom. And we have two more to share with you today. And don't fret...these while still beautiful, are something if you're needing a last minute gift idea...well you can do it!
Supplies:
Glue Arts Perma Tac
Glue Arts Ribbon Glue
Glue Arts Hot Glue Gun
Old Picture Frame
Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint
Paper, rub-ons, ribbon and buttons from stash
1. Take an old picture frame, clean it and spray paint it to old damage!
2. Remove the mat and the backing from the frame.
3. Cut strips of patterned paper and layout it out how you want on the mat.
4. Apply a lot of strips of perma tac to the mat. And adhere your patterned paper.
5. Using an exacto knife trim out your paper.
6. Apply various rub-ons to the paper, sand the paper and using Glue Art Ribbon Glue add some ribbon and using Perma Tac adhere the back on on the mat.
7. Add text to picture and insert into frame.
8. Hot glue on some buttons that match the color scheme of your frame!
Mom's the world around love getting flowers for Mother's Day. This year, instead of cut flowers, I decided to give Mom live plants that she can enjoy inside on her special day, then plant outside to enjoy for months to come. But since the plastic cell packs the plants come in aren't very pretty to look at, why not creative a beautiful basket container to dress them up in. Here I took an old thrift store plain wicker basket and a recycled crib sheet, and with the help of some paint and a few ribbons and trims, turned it from dab to fab.
1. Cut off elastic edge from the crib sheet and set aside. Cut open corner pleats and smooth out your fabric into one large piece. Decide how wide you want your ruffled trim to be, then cut notches in the fabric on one side that far apart. My fabric ruffle is 1.5" wide, but you can adjust that width to suit you. Tear along the notches so you end up with two fabric strips.
2. Apply Fabric Bond adhesive to the wrong side of one fabric strip and adhere to the wrong side of your second strip. Iron to fuse.
3. Apply a thin line of glue using the Glue Arts Glue Gun along the top edge of your basket, pinching and pleating your fabric ribbon as you go, creating a ruffled band.
4. Hot glue the elastic edge that you saved from step 1 to the center of your fabric ruffle.
Now we're ready to start our flower
5. Punch or cut a circle from chipboard for the center of the flower. Using Hot Glue, adhere the remaining elastic edging to the circle, starting in the center and spiraling outward until the entire circle is covered.
6. Cut 9 random circles from the fabric, 3 small, 3 medium, and 3 large. Stack the layers together and top with the spiral center. Adhere to the ruffled trim using Ribbon Adhesive.
7. Embellish with fabric ribbon, twill tape, hemp cord, a button, and felt leaves.
Happy Mother's Day!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic giveaway. I have found that the embellishments are prettys stubborn when it comes to adhering to my projects. I would also love to try the vellum adhesive, I kind of steer clear of it because I don't want my adhesive to show. I love your frame and basket. My daughter and I are going to give the flowers a try. Love them.
