favecrafts Best Blogger Contest

In January when I went to Creativation 2017 (previously known as CHA) I had the privilege to attend the PRIME VIB's Best Blogger Event!  There we networked with vendors, learn about their products and have the opportunity to work with some of their products.

 

Today I am sharing a Wall Décor I created for the Best Blogger Event Contest 2017.  I hope you enjoy this and are inspired to try your hand at making your own wall décor.

 

 

"Rich Jade & Satin Peacock"

 

 

For this project, I repurposed a 16 x 20 canvas from another project started and never finished.  The papers and paints on the canvas gave the new project more layers of dimension under the Rust-oleum paints. 

Supplies:

16 x 20 stretch canvas

10 x 12 pattern tissue

Rust-oleum Gloss Rich Jade

Rust-oleum Gloss Satin Ink Blue

Trestors Gold Ore 79630 Glitter Paint

Trestors Craft Paint Gold Dore Dorado

Trestors Craft Estrella De Rock

Trestors Super Glue

Mod Podge Matte

Brick Stencil

Black Crackle Paste

Spray water bottle
Paint Brush

Peacock Feather

 

Following the instructions on the Rust-oleum Gloss Rich Jade, spray one-half of canvas, let set a few minutes.  Paint the other half of the canvas with the Rust-oleum Gloss Satin Ink Blue, over lapping the Rich Jade.  Be sure to paint the sides of the canvas.  If necessary, spray a second coat for good coverage.  Let dry.

 

Spritz 10 x 12 pattern tissue with water.

 

 

 Next day, apply a layer of Mod Podge Matte to the canvas.

 Carefully lay on the layer of Mod Podge Matte.  Apply another layer of Mod Podge Matte over the tissue.

Let dry.

 

With brick stencil randomly add black crackle paste, set aside to dry.

 

 

Lightly spray with Trestors Craft Paint Gold Dore Dorado

  

 

Mix Trestors Craft Paint Gold Dore Dorado and Trestors Craft Estrella De Rock, apply lightly around the edges of the canvas to create a frame.  

 

Finally attach Peacock Feather with Trestors Super Glue

FaveCrafts Best Blogger Craft Event - Yarnspirations!

I was honored to be invited to the CHA Blogger Networking Party

hosted by favecrafts and Prime Publishing

 

 

In my swag from the CHA Blogger Networking Party I received this skein of Bernat Mega Bulky Yarn from Yarnspirations. 

 

All my life I have been intimidated by knitting needles!!! Never ever have I knitted anything in my life... the yarn was a challenge!

 

I had heard about knitting with your hands, so I looked up how-to!

 

This is what I did...

 

Tie tail around the thumb. Go behind the index finger, under the back of your middle finger, over your ring finger, and under your pinky. Wrap around the back of hand and in front (palm). Start the Weave---Pull the first wrap over the second wrap and over the pinky, repeat on the ring finger, repeat on the middle finger, and the index finger. Wrap around the back of hand and in front (palm). Then repeat the weave until you have desired link. Finish by taking the loop from pinky, and put it on ring finger. Pull the bottom loop up from ring finger and over to the back of hand. The loop from the middle finger and put in on the index finger. Finally, remove the index finger do not let go of the loop. Cut the end of the yarn at about six inches, put it through the loop and tie off. Tie the ends together and weave the tails in the scarf!

 

Two hours and eight feet later I had an infinity scarf!!!!

 

I love how the bulky yarn looks in this scarf!
