Altered/ Modpodge Clipboard

One more thing that was on my creative to do list!
Decorate my clipboard!
Today I took the time to make it!

I choose one of my favorite scrapbook paper and I decided to decorate both side.

Here are the supplies needed:

- A Clipboard

- Modpodge

- Foam brush

- Scrapbook paper

- Brayer (optional)

- Paint

- varnish

- Ribbons (optional)

 1st Paint the borders of your clipboard

 if you want to decorate the back too, then paint it!

 If you don't want to varnish your scrapbook paper, I would recommend to varnish your paint at this step.

I cut my paper a little smaller than the clipboard, take some measurement to cut around the hardware,

Then I cut the corners to make them round and

ink all around.

Modpodge your clipboard

 Do both sides if you wish.

and glue the paper,

Then if you have a brayer, roll it! or you can do it with a bone folder to take off any bubbles.

You can varnish it if you like

(I applied a layer of sprayed varnish)

 (this is the back side!)

and you can also add some ribbons to the hardware

(I like mine like that!)...

Way better than a sad brown clipboard! 

I hope you enjoyed!

Recycle and decorate!

I was looking for a container to hold my handful of copic markers and I found this empty cacao powder  container that I had put aside for an upcoming project!
It's an easy and quick tutorial; Perfect to recycle and re-use container around you!

All you need is:

- A container

- Some paper

- Modpodge

- Paintbrush

- Brayer (optional)

- Scissor

- Tape measure 

 

Once you found you perfect container, measure it to prepare your paper.

I colored some mandalas and thought it would be great on my container.

I found a light paper to coordinate...

Modpodge your container...

and glue your pre-cut paper all around

Apply your brayer to smooth the surface or do it with your fingers.

Now I glue my mandalas on top and ...that's it!

You can protect your container with a transparent adhesive if you wish.

Now I have a beautiful Mandala container to hold my copics and I can choose the color I want to see and change it when I want!!...

Recycle, Re-use and decorate your container for a colorful and pretty decor!...

Love Birds

During a visit at Michaels, these little birdies called me!
They are like paper macher (craft paper) bird shape; and there is also butterflies and fruits.
I immediately imagine them with some music scores on them!
I was too impatient to start my project and forgot to take a picture of the supplies!
So, you'll need:
- some paper macher shape
- white and black acrylic paint
- modpodge
- paper napkin with music score or old music sheet
- foam paintbrush
- varnish
- embellishments

First paint your bird (or other shape) with one or 2 layers of white paint

 While the paint dry, tear some pieces of your paper

When the paint is dry, start to glue your pieces on the bird

Cover the whole bird with your paper...

 Add a layer of modpodge and let it dry.

When it's dry apply some black paint on the beak and the wing

 let it dry

Here is a detail of the painting

Apply one or 2 layers of varnish

Grab some embellishments and have fun!

 Here I've added a black ribbon around their neck, a white feather cut in half , a little rose

and some black half pearl on the eyes

 

 and a silver pearl on the ribbon

 They will make a lovely decoration for a wedding or a romantic living room!

Hope you've enjoyed!
