Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is off to a great start! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and I was able to get some painting done.
This little tool carrier is from Michael's. I bought it a couple of years ago. It originally said blossom. Sadly, it got a little dingy over the years so I gave it a fresh coat of paint yesterday.
Since I painted over the blossom, I added two chalkpaper tags - one on each side. I used my Cricut and a roll of chalkpaper. Quick and easy!
I added a painted book I did (more in the works!) with some vintage French poetry pages, some painted peat pots and an embellished bottle I've posted about before.
The sides were missing a little something, so I added this great grain image from The Graphics Fairy. It's one of my favorites. I've used it on tea towels and a few other projects.
I printed the image out onto waterslide decal paper and gave it a few coats of clear spray paint to seal the image. Within a few minutes, I dunked it in water and peeled off my labels to put on each side.
The best part about this project? I had everything I needed! Some of you have inquired about the decal paper. I bought mine off of eBay for about $9 for 10 sheets. Believe me, it's worth it!
