Think Spring With FolkArt Enamels

March 29, 2013 By Meegan 18 Comments

I have been honored this month to be a part of the March Plaid Street Team.  I showed you my goodies in the mail, and now I have enjoyed using FolkArt Enamels.

The FolkArt Enamel paints, daubers and adhesive stencils can be found at Michael’s, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby, and A.C. Moore.

I decorated a”Think Spring” sign and a thrifted vase using these products.  It was easy and the directions are detailed.

I am excited to share the steps on how I made this.  So, let’s go!!collage

1.Choose your FolkArt Enamel colors and reusable adhesive stencils.  Use a dauber for the best distribution of paint.

2.After washing and drying your glass, place your reusable adhesive stencil on your glass.  Press all sides and areas of your stencil, so your paint won’t “bleed.”

3. Using your dauber fill your stencil with paint. Being sure to fill your stencil completely.

4. While the paint is still wet, peel reusable adhesive stencil off quickly; just like you would a band-aid. Quick and smooth.

It’s that easy!!

FolkArt Enamels are the perfect paint for glass.  You can also create your own designs using a brush like I did below:OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI also wanted you to see this picture because when I first started, I didn’t fill my stencil enough. (As you can see in the lavender flowers)  But, once I got the hang of it, I realized I needed more paint than I originally thought. (Like I did with the yellow flowers.)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI am not an artist by any means, but I had fun adding centers, stems and leaves to my flowers.

Think Spring with FolkArt EnamelsThese ideas would also be a perfect Mother’s Day gift, don’t you think??

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAAfter I made a vase, I thought it would be fun to make this sign for my friend who has had a rough winter.  Using the same steps and directions I made my “Think Spring” sign.

Thanks to Blueprint Social and FolkArt Enamels for the opportunity to share this project and enamels with my readers and followers!!

Spring Inspired Shelf

March 25, 2014 By Meegan 21 Comments

Happy Tuesday!  I am REALLY excited to share my Spring Inspired Shelf today.

I am inspired  by other bloggers such as: Craftberry Bush, Dreamy Whites, and Laughing with Angels.  I love their photography, their vision and taste.

After browsing through their blogs and using my own components and creativity, I worked to make my Spring Inspired Shelf my very own.

I am constantly looking at my Spring inspired shelf.  There is so much to see.

Each angle brings a whole new perspective.  The stick with the nest is a real hummingbird’s nest.

Stacking my tea cups and saucers on my wooden pedestal adds depth and height.  Love the marking and detail on the wood, don’t you?  Moss also gives a feel of refreshed life.

My bird and moss filled terracotta pot has not been aged by me in anyway, other than using it year after year.  The cracks and the patina add to the character of the whole shelf look.

Oh, I really like the bird house.  I like the dark, weathered wood and a little bit more moss.  Did you see the bird feathers???

Another pot I have had for years.  No need to prime or age it myself.  The flowers are real. Don’t they look great with moss surrounding them?   (I will share my secret with you later this week on how I did this)

Above the shelf hang a small portion of my tea cup and saucer collection.  The red cups were hand made and painted by my Grandma.  The cup with painted flowers hanging lowest on the left was also made by her.  Again, I love the look of fresh green moss for a Spring look.

Did you see the real birds nest in the highest cup?  It’s a hummbird’s nest.  So sweet.

The saucers were both thrift finds.  Aren’t they so pretty?

Here is a closer look at the tea cups.  Grandma would smile about this look.  She would probably say, “Well, would you look at that Sugar-pie.”

The creamer has a fresh rose and leaves to fill it.

I used one of my vintage bottles as a vase and to add height.  Going with the moss theme, I thought it would look good with a little in the vase as well.  To keep my flowers fresh, I use these tips.

Spring has sprung in our home over the last week.  The leaves are popping out of the branches.  The grass looks even greener.  And my Spring inspired shelf is set for the season.

I am so happy to have you stop by during your busy life to visit my blog.  I read every comment.  They always make me smile.

Make it a terrific Tuesday.

Spring Shelves 2014

April 14, 2014 By Meegan 7 Comments

Wasn’t I JUST sharing my Christmas decor?  And now it’s time for my Spring Shelves 2014.  Whew!

But before that,  I want to thank so many of you that left me sweet messages after my What Makes Meegan post. Your thoughts, experiences and sweet words melted my heart.  Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Now on to something a little more fun today.  Okay.  We all know how much I like things that are blue and/or vintage, right?  Those are the two items I tried to incorporate in my Spring Shelves this year.

I didn’t buy anything special or new.  I decided to shop my house.  I had about 5 different ideas set-up, until I finally was happy with this.

Stenciled Floral Coffee Table

May 22, 2014 By Meegan 24 Comments

It’s May and full of flowers everywhere! So why not have a Stenciled Floral Coffee Table??? Sounds fun to me! You KNOW how much I like flowers. So why not on a coffee table…

I bought my coffee table at a garage sale for $15.  Since then I have painted it and made it my own.  And you bet, I did use a hammer to get the dents and dings I like. (Fun times! You should try it)
