Winging It 2 for Country View Crafts

Create a piece of home decor for a shabby display. 


This is my second inspirational project for the 'winging it' challenge on the Country View Crafts facebook page. It was inspired by looking at home decor projects on Pinterest.

Die cut two wings from the 3D Impresslits 'Winged' embossing folder.

Create a small puddle of watery white acrylic paint and brush over each wing. Heat dry for about 15 seconds and then use kitchen paper dipped into hand gel to rub the paint away from the raised surface. 

Take a block of wood, give it a coat of gesso, dry and then a coat of white acrylic paint and dry.

Using gold embossing powder and stamps create simple designs on all four sides of the block.

Sand the edges and rub the exposed areas with a dark brown distress ink. Paint a bbq stick with gold paint and drill a hole in the cube to take it and glue it in.

Cut the snowflake strip and make up ready to add to the top, also give it a light wash with watery gesso. Punch a hole through the middle and in the extra star. Add these to the cube.

Glue the wings together leaving the central space open to use hot glue to adhere it to the stick and two small stars back to back at the top.

Stamp the label, cut and ink the edges, everything is now ready for the final assembly.
