Pretty Purple Coathangers.....

So gorgeous!!!!!  My first attempt at making these coathangers was a bit disastrous as I painted the coathangers with mod podge and then sprinkled them with purple glitter.  It wasn't very successful as the glitter and the glue dripped off, made a mess and left spaces.    After a few days of thinking about this I thought that if I mixed the glitter with the mod podge and painted it on the coathangers it would be an easier alternative.  It did work and it painted on so evenly  and quickly, a much better idea. With this sort of thing you need to work very quickly as the glue dries very quickly.

Decoupage Chair........

Myself and a friend have been trying out a few different ideas.  One of those ideas was to use  scrap fabric as a decoupage on old furniture.   It is very time comsuming but the effect is quite stunning.  First of all the furniture has to be sanded and painted on the parts that are not going to be covered with fabric, It is then time to glue all the bits of fabric on and then give the fabric pieces a light sand and apply another coat of sealer. A great idea to give some old pieces of furniture a new lease of life.

Decoupage Fabric Photo Frame.........


I wanted to try something a bit different the other day so I decided to revamp an old photo frame. I used fabric and craft glue. I was really happy with the way it turned out for my first attempt.....
