Altered bottle vintage roses

Sometimes I get this cleanup rage and during the last rage I found an old glass bottlle. At first I wanted to throw away the bottle, but I changed my mind and decided to give the bottle a make-over. I painted the bottle with gesso and a white acrylic paint.  In my stash of napkins I found a napkin with these beautiful vintage roses. The shape of the bottle was a bit of a challenge to put the napkin on without a million wrinkles, but in the end it turned out pretty good.  The stopper and the bottom part of the bottle I painted with a very light shade of pink acrylic paint. On the neck of the bottle I put a piece of lace, some pearls and a handmade foamiran flower.  So and old bottle is turned into a beautiful handmade present.  Thank you for visiting my blog!

Vintage roses journal with tabbinding

I just finished this vintage journal using the tabbinding method. It is my first attempt but I am definitely going to use this method more often. Thank you for watching the video. Have a very nice weekend! 
Wishing well. I made this wishing with popsicle sticks and I followed a tutorial from Emilia Sieradzan on Youtube to create it.  To make the well itself I used a piece of thick paper and covered it with the popsicle sticks. The roof is made entirely out of those sticks.  When the base is done and painted with acrylic paint, it is time to decorate. The flowers are made out of paper and I used moss and other decoration material. The final touch is a layer of white acrylic paint for a snow effect on the wishing well. On top of that I used snowpaint and some glitter. Emilia turned her wishing well into a money box. I decided to put a candle light into the well. I love the result! Thank you for visiting my blog.

Bouquet handmade flowers Verschillende keren heb ik een tutorial gevolgd voor het maken van foamiran bloemen. De meeste daarvan heb ik gebruikt voor een kaartje, maar het leek me leuk om eens te proberen of ik er een boeketje van kon maken. Inmiddels heb ik er twee gemaakt. I love to watch tutorials of making foamiran flowers and most of my efforts ended up in a handmade card. But I also wanted to try to make a little bouquet of foamiran flowers and here are two of my results.  De mandjes/potjes zijn respectievelijk een dessert bekertje en een ijsbekertje. Het dessert bekertje is bewerkt met houten stokjes en het ijsbekertje met touw. Naast de foamiran bloemen heb ik bladeren gestanst uit papier en een beetje mos op de bodem gelegd.  I used a dessert cup and an ice cup to put the flowers in.  The dessert cup is decorated with wooden sticks and the ice cup with a piece of rope. The flowers are made from paper and the flowers are put on a bed of moss. De boeketjes zijn super leuk om te m

Allegonda Arts: altered box with tiny mini album

In my stash I have lots of small wooden boxes and today I painted and designed one of those. For the decoration I used the same design paper as I used in my latest journal. The pattern and colors of that paper is really beautiful. The altered box makes a beautiful present to give.  I hope you like the end result as well and got a little bit inspired by it. Thank you for visiting my blog!

Mini album and journal botanical

With the beautiful designpaper of The Journal Boat I made this album, which is kind of a mini album and journal combined. I really like how the 'old' ephemera matches with the beautiful flower papers. Enjoy the video!

Allegonda Arts: Journal A ladies diary

Een nieuw journal afgemaakt vandaag! De stijl is vintage, waarbij ik authentiek materiaal heb gebruikt maar ook nieuwe dingen 'oud' heb gemaakt. De bedoeling was om een journal te maken wat bij wijze van spreken zo van de zolder van je oma kon komen. Wat vinden jullie? Opzet geslaagd? Dank voor het bezoeken van mijn blog!
