Fascinator Hats!

Hello everyone!!  Long time no see?  Well, today I thought I would share with you all some Disney fascinator hats I made.  It was a lot of fun to get my creative juices flowing.   If you aren't familiar with fascinator hats, they are meant to be smaller and worn on the side.  Without further ado, let's do this!

Here's the lot of em.

This is one of my favorites.  I really love the material. <3

And this is how it looks on.

Star Wars!!  So the one on the left is a top hat inspired one and the right is a good old fashioned Mickey Mouse hat.

Last, but not least, my Mickey Mouse one.  I really like how the bow turned out and I think the tulle is a fun touch.  This one is quite a bit different than the other ones, but I like them all!!

That's it for now, guys!  Talk to yah later! :D

Have you ever heard of fascinator hats?

Which hat was your favorite?

DIY Dollar Tree Bottle

I'm back with another project I did.  I found this cute bottle at the Dollar Tree.  I thought I could do something cute with it.  I am very pleased with how it turned out!  I wish I would have gotten another one.

                     

I also got that mirror at Dollar Tree, but I am not finished with it yet.  For the bottle I used: Old Town chalk paint (two coats), Painter's Touch clear coat, twine, gold leaf syrup graphic, sand paper, and a stain marker.

                           

                               Here is the graphic I used.  To get that "old" effect tear it, don't cut it.

Pretty easy actually, did two coats of chalk paint, Mod Podged the label on, aged it with the stain pen, nicked it with sand paper, and clear coated the whole thing.

                            

  If I like how the mirror turns out I might do a post on that, too.  :)  Blessings, Morgan

My Project

 Hello everyone!  I'd like to share with you the project I did this last week.  I have this box thing... it might be considered a sort of shadow box, but I'm not sure.  Anyways, I got it at a garage sale and I have been using it to hold some old papers and such.  So I decided I was going to give it a makeover.

 

 

Here she is.  Just a big thing to hold whatever I fancy.

 

Now, I didn't take any pictures of the process, but I will give you an idea of what happened.  So I first sanded most of it lightly. Then I decided to paint it a light pink, but that didn't work out.  So I switched to blue. 

 

 I thought it would look cool with a picture on the inside. I went onto The Graphics Fairy, who has a bunch of cool pictures, and selected a pretty girl with a big hat.  I found out how to put paper pictures onto wood via the internet.  You just use Modge Podge. I did that and waited a bit to take the paper off the back, using a spray bottle of water, like I read to do.  It wasn't turning out how I hoped so I let it sit over night. 

 

Then I sprayed some more water on it in the morning, gently scraping the paper off the back with a soft rag.  Finally, adding a clear coat and using a screw driver with a flat head to nick it a little bit to give it that old finished look.

  

Ta da!!

                                        

 

 

 

                                       

  

 I promise she was a lot prettier, but the process I think, makes her look more aged.  Which works!

                                       

 

 What I put inside. :)
