The CHARMED Class and a GIVEAWAY

Hello everyone!

    We all love our charms! The possibilities for them are endless. Do you know how the tradition of using them on craft project started? In olden day people didn't have ready made stickers , die cuts or other pre-made embellies we have today!! So, they got creative and started to use what they have to embellish and add interest to their letters, diaries and journals!! These were the first beginnings of scrap-booking collecting letters and photos and tickets, and such in diaries!! People began to use broken jewelry and jewelry findings to adorn and embellish their pages!! And till date this practice has evolved where there are charms and findings created for the passionate Crafter!

It gives me great honor to announce that there is one of the most awesome Giveaways that you have seen in a while and do you want to guess what is the candy??

Fairy land garden !

Hi crafty friends,
I am so excited to share this adorable project with you. Fairy land and castles attract all of us and trust me this kaisercraft fairy castle drawer is an absolute pride to own. 
I wanted to give it a bright cheerful look to match my craft rooms settings.
The store is full of cute realistic miniatures  and we can find few in our kids toys sets.
The kaiser craft drawer came tightly packed and where in natural wood colour. 


I assembled it and painted it with distress paints in peeled paint( the loveliest green possible..)
I adhered the pieces together with Fevicol as it works best with wood. The next step was to cut paper and stick it to give the finished look.

Then began the fun part ....adding the flowers and miniatures... 
For the chair which was also in natural wood colour 
I used few coats of distress paint- salty ocean and when it dried I added few strokes of picket fence to give it  weathered look. This is how it looked… placed a kettle charm and a scissor charm

I changed the drawers too by adding this beautiful Antique drawer pullers 

It added so much style to it and they look so elegant and royal…


I used the pretty sea green frames as windows in my project and glued a tiny piece of lace for curtains.I created a mulberry rose garden and placed a Musical instrument too. You must check my fellow DT Ashmita's project to get an idea how she upgraded the frames by painting and distressing them.


Awww!! Did u spot the cute kitty ...?
It is from my daughters Barbie set and I placed it next to my chair. It's a great idea to use these adorable realistic pieces in projects..

Now coming to the next coolest thing... The pennant and the cabochons...they are so gorgeous and all u need to do is just add a pic behind the glass.

Here is how my Fairy drawer set looks from all the angles.
