Wall Hanging Garden Home

Hello Dears....Suzna here

We all love not only paper craft or Mixed media, we love mini or tiny things. And the best part is DMC launched many different miniature accessories. So i thought today i would like to share Door design art. Or I can say this is wall hanging Garden Home :)

I couldn't take the video. But i took few step by step pictures to get a idea. 

This is a MDF house shape tray. 

I ordered two MDF trays depends on my Door size. I attached small tray inside my house shape mdf tray with Prima 3D matte gel (its permanent glue). After drying, i apply Prima sand paste and plaid craft chalk paint (Sheep white) 

Next i add Dusty attic brick chipboad, or you guys can use handcut chipboard pieces. 

I used Prima metallic copper paint for coloring bricks

And These DMC moss sheets are perfect for decorating like Garden. Use glue gun for attaching.

These is the way i attached. Not fully covered with moss. Added few small flowers, pots or if you have any garden related miniatures add that too. My design is based on wall hanging, so my tray dont have much space to add miniatures. But i tried with my level best.

Top of the tray i used burlap lace.

Decoration are endless, And here i used few more gardening stuffs. Most of them from Crafters Corner. All supply details shared on end of this post.

I like this Door. So i choose this design from DMC brand. Many more door designs are available.

I choose Door knob is

OUTDOOR play with PLAID!

Good morning!

Welcome to another Thursday and a fresh new plaid play!
Today its outdoor play ...yes...something for the outdoors! I have altered some plain metal planters using Home decor Chalk paints, Plaid stencils and sealed it with the OUTDOOR  MATTE SEALER from Plaid!



Isn't that easy peasy...

Lets move on to the process...I need to apologize at the outset for the lack pf pics on the wip, as my phone crashed and is under service! I have no access to the pics taken in it.
I shall explain to the best of my capability, I hope you understand. Do let me know if you have any queries.
I have worked with 4 planters at a stretch and will explain one by one.

PLANTER 1- I have mixed chalk paints  River walk and Vintage mustard and used a spouncer to dab the colors using honeycomb stencil from the stash.



You can see the smooth coverage of the paints on metal surface.



The bee and fly have been stenciled using black multi surface paints. I have then sealed this with 3 coats of outdoor sealer , allowing drying time between coats.
 


PLANTER 2- The bright greens is a mix of multi surface paint and chalk paint and I have used the same honey comb stencil. The cute little birds on the branches is the plaid stencil (birds)and have used black for this too. Sealed with outdoor sealer, 3 coats.



PLANTER 3- I arrived at this lovely peach color by mixing Imperial and vintage mustard! I applied the paint and when it was still wet, just dabbed it with a rag cloth to give some texture. When this was dry, I have stenciled with black using plaid HUMMING BIRD stencil! Isn't it lovely??? Again sealed with the outdoor sealer, 3 coats.


PLANTER 4- The lovely blue hues is using chalk paints (nautical and river walk) and stenciled with black and another stencil from my stash.


What gave me the confidence to do this outdoor planter is the OUTDOOR MATTE SEALER and I am sure this last many moons and suns!
Properties of the sealer-
It is water based.
It is non yellowing.
It dries fast.
No odor.
Can be used outdoor/indoor.

Here is a look at them in my garden!



I urge you to try and experiment with chalk paints for your outdoor needs and also use the sealer. This way you can now start decorating your outdoors!

These planters add so much life to the plants now and its like the birds are enjoying their new home!

I will see you next week with another Plaid play.
Until my next creative journey,
Happy crafting and recycling,
Cheers,
Rupa
