The lovely Melissa Waudby from Simply Vintage is back with us this week, so to give you a sneak peek of what's to come on her show, check out her Craft Inspiration Pack Challenge. She'll be with us this Wednesday with tonnes of inspiration and demonstrations of how you can get the most from your gorgeous Craft Inspiration Pack at 10am! Here's her step-by-steps...
This
month I have been working on a little challenge - My Craft Inspiration Pack
Challenge! To see how many craft projects I can make from just one of the
Simply Vintage Mixed Craft Inspiration packs.
The
full results will be live on the show in Wednesday morning - but here is a
couple of sneaky pics of just two mixed media projects I recently finished.
From
the kit I used:
- 1 sheet of music
- 1 piece of floral fabric
- 3 sheets of pages
- Buttons
- Lace pieces
- Ribbon
- Snap fasteners
- Postcard
Just 10 elements…..from the 30 included! (and
there are still parts of these left over!)
A Mixed Media Tin
Turning
a vintage tin into a personal treasure!
Using
the mixed craft inspiration pack, I start with a quick read of the lovely papers
and pages included.
For
this tin the first words I saw was "said the tailor" so this set the
scene for a lovely tailors story.
The
first backing paper I used was a 1950's weather chart which was torn into the
lid and secured using a PVA glue mix with water (I use a 2:1 glue to water
ratio).
Then
comes the fun bit... taking some of the fabric piece and snipping around the
flower design, picking out the buttons from the kits to use and adding a few
bits of sewing paraphernalia to complete the story.
Once
the items had been arranged to please the eye and heart, a thin layer of the
PVA was added to seal the tin... a beautiful little memento from a tiny tin!
Mixed Media Wreath
A
lovely Autumnal or Festive gift!
The
wreath is created with various techniques beginning with layers of decoupage
using the vintage pages included in the pack.
Cotton was then wrapped around the ring
in sections…
…and
the cut out flowers added. Each of these are fixed with the same PVA mix as
before, making sure all of the white ring is covered.
A gold
paint and PVA mix was used to create texture and depth, and some small feature
items added from the pack.
A
little paper rose was made using the spiral technique (see previous show) and
sealed with a PVA layer.
Finally
a large lace flower was stitched (see previous show for technique) and pinned
on along with a lace bow and hanging ribbon.
