Welcome to the monthly Creative Craft Blog Hop
hosted by Celebrate & Decorate and Design Morsels
If you’re visiting from B4s and Afters
didn’t she have a great idea to recreate a tired decoration?!
Let’s get crafting!
We’ve all had to craft with what we have on hand these days,
due to restricted shopping
As I was “shopping” my house I came across this white container
I think it came with a plant in it last year
I’d been saving it for a future use…
Hmmmm….paired with a blue plate
It just might make a cute patriotic decoration!
Working around the raised pattern on the pot,
I painted blue checks around the base
with glossy enamel craft paint and a large flat square brush
I set it aside to dry while I practiced some stars
If you break down the star shape into a series of lines,
it makes it easier to recreate
It’s a little trickier with a brush,
I quickly learned I needed a smaller brush as my strokes were too fat
use a small liner brush for best results
Don’t worry if they aren’t perfect!
Now for the stripes
I painted the upper wide sections with red
using a small brush to continue the stripe down the ridge between the stars
and a larger brush to apply paint to the wider areas
Then I sat it in the center of a blue plate
I put a big white hydrangea bloom in the center
and added red carnations around it
And a mini Uncle Sam hat just for fun!
You can see this Uncle Sam Hat Vase starring in a patriotic tablescape here
You could glue the container to the plate,
but I chose to just set the vase on top
so I could use the blue plate for other things too {like dining!!}
Thank you for joining our crafty fun today!!
