~a vintage Christmas~

I'm having a lot of fun making up some vintage styled decorations for the Fieldstone Christmas market . I have a million ideas I would like to make, but had to narrow it down to just a handful given the time I have available.

So here's a sneak peek....

vintage sheet music
 

rustic grainsack style ruffled stockings

and of course glitter, glitter, glitter

There is glitter all over my home and all over me!! Love the stuff!!

what are you making for Christmas?

Shabby vintage sheet music frame how to

happy white wednesday...

first, some dreamy chandeliers, high on my wish list...

and here's a white project I worked on this past week

what to do with a cute frame...upcycle it into a shabby frame with vintage sheet music!!

I started out by painting the frame heirloom white (my favorite white). This frame has cute detailing around the edge which really showed up once I painted it

then I cut a piece of sheet music to fit the inside of the frame, and glued around the edges. didn't realise quite how vintage this music book was until I had torn out the sheet...

oh well!!

I lightly sprayed the sheet music with matt varnish as I'm not using glass in this frame

cut a double layer of batting to fill out the space

covered the back with a piece of wallpaper -  just used spray adhesive to secure the batting and wallpaper

hot-glued organza ribbon to the back and loosely tied it at the top

doesn't it look cute!

hanging...

or propped up against the wall

ta-da!! shabby vintage sheet music frame
