Rupa here from Crafters Corner and I am here with my second
post for November.
Many of you would have started working on Christmas gifts
and decorations and I wanted to share with you the same.
Would you believe if I said “ It’s snowing here in my craft
room!” You will see soon what I meant. As for starters I want show you the
PLAID products that I playing with this time. I have also re cycled a bottle
and a wine glass for this project. So sit back and enjoy the process the with
me…it could get a lot colder in the end, lol!
Step1- I cleaned the bottle and wine glass to start my work.
I then gessoed the bottle with a sponge and let it dry.
Meanwhile, I applied a coat of
Folk art glass/tile medium on
the wine glass with a brush and let it dry. I was not sure what was going to be
the result of this medium and was pleasantly surprised to see this after the
glass dried!
Have a look…an amazingly frosted look to the glass in a
giffy! It was looking good as it but that’s not what I intended to do.
Step2- I had a christmasy decoupage tissue in my stash and
started to adhere it to the bottle using
modge podge.
It was big enough to
cover the front of the bottle.
I told you it is snowing here…..just look at this little tub
of snow. OOOOOO…I just loved the creamy paint inside. So easy to use. You could
use a spatula, brush or your fingers to play with this. I applied the paint to
all the portions on the tissue where I wanted a dimensional effect for the
snow. I used a spatula for the same and let it dry overnite.
Step 3- I couldn’t resist having some snow on my
embellishments too! I dipped in a pine cone and some plastic foliage directly
into the tub of snow and swished it out!
Yum yum…look at these! I also had some
snow setting on the top of the bottle too.
As for the wine glass, I adhered another tissue and dabbed
some complimenting acrylic colors keeping some open space. I liked the frosted
look of the glass and didn’t want to cover it with paint.
I had these small laser cut cherries from Crafters corner,
that I painted in red and had them stuck randomly on the glass.
Step4- I made a icing cone with a plastic cover and filled
in the dimensional snow paint onto this. I started using this like an icing
cone and started piping the paint out on the rim of the glass and then like
drops falling from the top.
I also had some settle on the base of the glass.
Left them to dry overnite.
Step5- For the back of the bottle, I sprayed white paint using
a tooth brush and stamped some music motes using archival inks. I also stamped
a sentiment on white tissue and stuck it at the back.
Lastly, I added a red and white checkered fabric bow to the
bottle neck and stuck the snow capped foliage too.
Here is how the bottle looks….
And here is the wine glass with the magic touch of a tea
lite candle burning!
Now the duo is perfect as a Christmas gift, what say???
The dimensional snow ids an effect that I
cant explain in words, but for to see and touch! It is just awesome and a must
buy for the coming festive seasons.
Looking forward to hearing your views on the same.
Until my next creative journey,
Happy crafting and recycling.
Cheers,
Rupa
