Hi folks,
I have been sooooooooo looking forward to this months colour theme......
and decided to go large ish.............
........and had a play with the gorgeous
Noteholder/Pen Pot set........
I started by assembling everything as per the very clear instructions provided with the kit, the edging pieces were not attached at this point as I wanted to paint them in different colours to the pieces they would be attached to. I chose to glue the 2 base units together to create one large unit but you could keep them separate if you wished. A base coat of
Decoart gesso was added to all elements once the glue was completely dry. 2 coats of acrylic were applied and then some stenciling was done on the outer base and drawer fronts using the
Diamond Circle mask.
I built up 2 handles for the drawers using
inchies, small circles from the centre of the
round grid and hearts from the
heart grab bag. Each handle consisting of 1 inchie, 2 small circles and 1 heart.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I couldn't cope with the thought of ditching the waste pieces from the kit so I had a play with them and came up with some washi tape holders............
I really could have gone to town with the right hand one, which I think looks like a bed! I could see lace, sparkle and bedding - maybe a pin-cushion of sorts - let your imagination run riot too!!
