Today I’m taking a break from painting. I did a quick decoupage project on a piece I’m going to take to the craft fair. So, I thought I’d show it to you.
I bought this mail holder at our local farm store. It’s new, but looks vintage.
It had some scratches on it that I saw before I bought it. Though I’m not crazy about buying something scratched, I knew I could add paper and fix it up.
There are different types of decoupage mediums. I tend to use Mod Podge because I can get it at the craft store, 50 miles from here.
Recently, I got some new scrapbook paper and started looking at which pieces would be cute on the mail holder. I went with the red bandana and the multicolored roses.
Next, I cut out a few scrapbook paper squares, and glued them on as well. To finish the piece, I remembered a flower I have from a necklace. I think it blends in nicely, but also stands out a little, too.
One thing I love about this project is, with some paper and glue, it turns a piece anyone can buy into something pretty unique.
One craft fair item done, lots more to go!
Thank you for reading. Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

Your creativity and resourcefulness is a delight! Other than sewing, which I miss and haven’t done in a long time, I am not crafty, but I appreciate those who are. Best wishes on your craft show creations.

Hi. You have the best word choices!! I love ‘delight.’ Thank you so very much. I think part of it comes from watching my parents ‘make do’ with things they had. Four kids six and under and only dad worked. Money was tight. Which really makes being resourceful fun. It takes creativity to imagine something a different way, I think. They modeled it well. Thank you, I’m getting excited about the craft show. I enjoy the talking to people part. ❤️

We love the ‘words.’ ❤️ I’m thinking of doing a word post on my other blog- completely stumped in my creativity on it. Cannot figure out what to say…
Thank you. I’m seeing my finished pieces now and am getting excited.
