I got the
pumpkin arrangement at Wal-Mart and although it's cute the way it is, I wanted
to bump its wow factor up a notch and was perfect for this project!
So for this
project you're going to take your E6000 glue and glue your taper candle holder
to the glass plate and set aside to dry fully.
After your
glued base is dry, it's time to paint it with your spray paint; I wanted it to
still be translucent so I did a light dusting with the paint. This gave it a
colored glass effect.
After the
painted base has fully dried it's time to grab your E6000 glue (For long term
hold) and glue gun (For immediate hold) and glue your willow wreath to the top
of the plate.
Then again
with your E6000 glue and glue gun, glue your floral foam to the center of your
plate.
Now trim and
sort your Fall florals. I pushed all the leaves on each stem towards the top
before using my snippers to cut to size.
For the next
step I grab my premade pumpkin arrangement and set it on top of the floral foam
and added my first row of Fall floral around the base of the pumpkin so I knew
where I needed add the rest of my florals.
I then set
the premade pumpkin arrangement off to the side and continued working my way
around the floral foam adding my Fall florals until I was happy with the look
and fullness.
Once I was
happy with the look and fullness, I grabbed my E6000 and hot glue gun and glued
my premade pumpkin arrangement to the center of my floral foam.
Finally it's
time to enjoy your new creation and find it, its new home amongst your Fall
decor!!
So I have two BIG projects coming up and I was thinking of using
canvas dropcloth for them. However, I had never worked with it before. I have
also been wanting to make some decorative pillows for the holidays. So I
thought, I'll use the canvas drothcloth for my decorative pillows and
"kill two birds with one stone". I get my pillows and I get to see
what it's like working with the canvas drop cloth! Win, win!! I really love how
the pillows turned out and am planning on making some more for Christmas.
You'll
need:
Canvas Dropcloth, size depends on how many pillows and projects you want to use
it for.
Ink Jet T-Shirt Transfers
Scissors
Iron
Fabric Glue, I used FABRI-TAC
Optional: Velcro if making a deceptive pillow cover.
First
we're going to cut out two 16.5" x 16.5" panels from our dropcloth.
Then
we're going to create our image and print it out on the T-Shirt Transfer paper.
Please follow the instructions included with you transfer paper.
Cut
out your image, leaving a small border all the way around the image per
transfer instructions.
For
the ironing part you need a solid surface that is heat resistant. My current
crafting table is plastic and will melt and warp so I grabbed a scrap piece of
plywood to protect my table.
Cover
your heat resistant surface with a cotton pillowcase and iron out any wrinkles.
Then
lay your canvas panels on top of the pillowcase and iron out any wrinkles and
creases.
Now
we're going to lay our transfer print side down on our freshly ironed canvas
panel.
Next,
cover the back of the transfer with another cotton pillowcase.
Then
Iron transfer per Instructions provided by the manufacturer.
After
ironing, let the transfer cool completely before carefully removing the paper
backing.
Then
flip the canvas panel so that the image is sandwiched in between the two
panels.
Now
fold up a side and run a continuous strip of fabric glue along the edge of
three sides of your canvas panels. Make sure the 4th we're not going to glue
just yet is what will be the bottom of your pillow when completed.
Now
for what will be the bottom; if you’re making a full pillow like I did, you’re
only going to glue the ends of the full opening. Leaving the center (about 5
finger widths apart) unglued. If you are making a decorative pillow cover then
you can glue Velcro strips on.
Once
the glue is dried per instructions on your glue, you’re going to reach your
hand in the unglued opening and turn you pillowcase right side out.
Make
sure to really get the corners pushed out. Voila, you're halfway done with your
new pillow!
Time
to stuff it! Since I'm making a purely decorative pillow that will be in my
outside entryway, I have chosen to stuff mine with plastic store bags because I
have an abundance of them... Mine as well make use of them for more than just
bathroom garbage bags!
Once
you've got your pillow all stuffed you can glue the opening closed.
I
used two binder clips to hold the opening closed until the glue dried.
Once
fully dried, it's time to find its new home in your Fall decor!!
