We've been away on a family holiday and I'm not feeling to great in myself hence a break from blogging but I will be back soon with a new makes, a giveaway, my new website and much more, please pop by soon x
I'm all for recycling as much as I can and I'm always saving my glass jars but collecting was all I was doing. My friend Steph came up with an idea so had a few off me and she decided to turn hers into t-light holders for the garden and decorated the outside with frosting spray.
So I thought I'd have a go
I bought some enamel paints (as they were actually cheaper than glass paints) and set to work
Very quickly and with a few brush strokes they went from a plain jam jar to this
I'm slowly creating some felt easter eggs for a decorative tree at home, heres some spotty ones, pop along Friday for a tutorial on how to make them I'm going to have spotty one, stripy ones, button ones :)
I picked up a couple of fun vintage pictures last year sometime whilst shopping with my Mum, due to having the enamel paint out I thought the old white plastic frames needed jazzing upAs soon as Riley saw them he shouted 'window frames' bless him, it does make me laugh how kids see things so differently to us
