Go With The Flow

Christmas Leftovers

Srečno novo leto drage moje!
Ravno pravšnji čas za nove začetke in za nov izziv na Our Creative Corner ...Pamellia je gostiteljica mesečnega izziva in želi videti, kaj boste naredile z

"Božičnimi Ostanki"

Reciklirajte svoje Božične Ostanke. Darilni papir, prazne role od darilnega papirja, darilne vrečke ali škatle, "tissue" papir, trakove,...

Za samo kreacijo ne rabite uporabiti božično tematiko, mora pa biti božičen, izdelek, ki ga boste uporabile pri kreaciji.

....ali ni to čudovita tema za januarski izziv!?
Tole sem naredila jaz....
------------------------------------------

Happy New year my Dear friends! 
This is the perfect time for new beginnings and perfect time for a new challenge at Our Creative Corner...Pamellia is the host of this month challenge and she want to see what you will make with

"Christmas Leftovers"

Recycle your Christmas garbage. Gift wrap, empty gift wrap rolls, gift bags, gift boxes, tissue paper, ribbon...etc.

The project itself doesn't have to have a Christmas theme, just the items to use to make it.

....isn’t this just perfect theme for January challenge!? 
Here is my make....

...za darilo sem dobila bombone, ki so bili v tej prelepi embalaži....bomboni so bili super, ampak mislim, da sem se bolj razveselila pločevinke :) .... ideje, kako jo uporabiti so takoj prišle na dan in odločila sem se, da napravim dekoracijo za Valentinovo.....
-----------------------------------------

...I got a bunch of candies in this beautiful tin, which I thought is perfect to alter...and I decide to make a Valentine's Day decoration....

Tule je ustvarjalni postopek:

Vzela sem eno polovico pločevinke (tisto z ravnim dnom) in jo zdrgnila z brusnim papirjem, da se je kasneje barva dobro prijela. Zunanjost sem pobarvala, najprej s črno, nato pa še z belo akrilno barvo. Na zgornji rob pločevinke sem nalepila vrv. Timov Metal Word Band sem pobarvala s Picket Fence Distress Stain in ga nalepila na pločevinko...

Notranjost pločevinke sem zapolnila z gobo za ikebane...najbolje jo je kar zalepiti, da ostane vse stabilno in na mestu....

Iz 3 mm debele lesene plošče sem, z ročno žago, izrezala srce. Ko sem zbrusila robove, sem ga pobarvala, najprej s črno, nato pa še z belo akrilno barvo. Kot ponavadi sem morala narediti še nekaj prask, da sem dobila bolj starinski videz.....

Lesno špino sem pobarvala na belo in okoli nje navila žico. Z vročim lepilom sem dodala srce in okrasni trak. Špino sem porinila v gobo za ikebane in vse prekrila z mahom.....

....in gotovo...super enostaven in lep okras....

---------------------------------

Here is my creative process:

I took one half of a tin (I choose the one with flat bottom) and I rub a surface with sandpaper, so the paint "stuck" well. Outside of the tin is painted, first with black and then, with white acrylic paint. Then I took a rope and glued it around the top of the tin....I smeared Tim`s Metal Word Band with Picket Fence Distress Stain and attached it to the tin with hot glue....

Inside of the tin is filled with ikebana sponge (sorry, I don’t know if this is the right English word...probably not, but I meant the green sponge which is used for flower arrangement)...it’s the best to glue it, to make the whole piece more stable....

I took a 3 mm thick wooden piece and using hand saw I cut a heart. I rub the edges with sandpaper and painted it, first with black and then, with white acrylic paint. As always I had to make some scratches, to rich a vintage look....

I used wooden stick and painted it on white. I wrapped wire around it and with hot glue attached the heart on one end...I also added some crinkle ribbon, to make the whole thing more interesting and dimensional....I pushed the stick in the sponge and cover everything with moss...

....and it’s done....easy, peasy, beautiful home decor...

I have some great news to share

 
Pozdravljene drage moje....vem, da sem bila letos zelo slaba prijateljica in blogerka in to je tudi eden od razlogov, da sem sprejela Laurino povabilo, da se pridružim ustvarjalnemu timu na Our Creative Corner blogu....ja, čudovite novice!!! To pomeni, da ne bom samo ustvarjala, ampak bom vsaj enkrat na mesec tudi objavljala, tu in na OCC....upam, da boste našle čas in se nam pridružile na izzivih... ali pa samo pokukale in morda našle navdih za ustvarjanje...
------------------------------
Hello dear friends...I know that I have been very bad friend and blogger this year and this was one of the reasons that I accept Laura’s invitation to join Design team at Our Creative Corner...yes, exciting news!!! That means that I will not only create, but also saying hello here and at Our creative Corner at least once per month....hope you will find the time to join  our challenges or just stop by, maybe get some inspiration... 

...za današnjo posebno objavo sem pripravila izdelek, katerega navdih sem našla v prelepem reklu...
----------------------------
  ....for this special announcement I prepared a little project, inspired with a beautiful quote....

  
...tukaj je postopek izdelave, če želite narediti kaj podobnega:
1.  Iz modelirne mase oblikuj srce. Ko se posuši, srce pobarvaj z akrilno barvo in naredi nekaj prask, da dobiš starinski videz. Srce ovij z žico in nanj nalepi besedo "beauty".
2. Izreži škatlico z "Matchbox" šablono in jo sestavi. Škatlico pobarvaj z akrilno barvo. Notranjost škatlice obloži s povojem, zunanjost pa ovij s tanko žico. 
3. Izreži nekaj različnih koščkov tkanine in čipke, ter jih zlepi ali sešij skupaj. Dodaj srce in nekaj perlic, nato pa vse skupaj prilepi na pokrov škatlice.
4. Še mini knjigica.... iz tršega papirja izreži pravokotnik, malo manjši kot je škatlica. Skozi šablono dodaj teksturno pasto, pusti da se posuši.  Pobarvaj z akrilno barvo in ko je barva še mokra, narahlo obriši z "baby" robčki. Na drugo stran nalepi poštempljan papir. Pravokotnik prepogni, tako da dobiš platnice. 
5. Izreži nekaj papirčkov, enake velikosti kot so platnice.  Prepogni napol in na eni polovici naredi luknje. Pobarvaj oziroma naredi madeže s kavo in postaraj robove. Strani prilepi v platnice. 
6. Okrasni notranjost z mini rožico in perlicami, ter dodaj reklo.
------------------------------------------------------------------- 
...here are the steps, how to ... if you want to do something similar:

1. Make a heart of plaster. After its dry, paint it with acrylic paint and make some scratches to get nice old look.  Wrap the heart with wire and glue “beauty“ word on it.

2. Use matchbox die and cut the shape of cardstock. Compose the box and paint it with acrylic paint. Put bandage inside of the box, wrap the wire around the cover.

3. Cut few pieces of different fabric and lace. Glue or stitch them together, add heart and  some beads. Glue everything on the box cover.

4. For a little book... cut rectangle from cardstock, a little bit smaller than the matchbox. Apply texture paste with stencil and after drying paint everything with acrylic paint. When the paint is still wet, gently wipe the access with baby wipes. Glue the piece of stamped paper on the other side. Fold the cardstock so you get the book cover.

5. Cut few pieces of paper, the same size as book cover. Fold on half and make holes on one half. Stain with coffee and distress the edges. Glue pages to the book cover.

6.  Embellish inside of the book with little flower, beads and a beautiful quote.
