Autumn Tag with Tutorial

Hi everyone! This week, I would like to share an Autumn inspired tag with you all. I've used tons of products by Clear Scraps and Faber-Castell to create this tag. This tag is filled with layers of gelatos and textured flowers.

Here are some closer look at it.

Now, here is the step by step tutorial. Have fun creating!

Supplies needed:

1 Chipboard Tag (Clear Scraps)

Swirl Flourish Stencil (Clear Scraps)

Fall Leaves Stencil (Clear Scraps)

1 November Collective pattern paper (Graphic 45 – Children’s Hour collection)

some burlap flowers and leaves

some pearls

ribbon

Burlap strip

white acrylic paint (any brand)

metallic gelatos (Faber-Castell)

red pearl pen (Viva Decor)

wet wipe

Steps:

1. Paint the chipboard tag with a layer of white acrylic paint and let it dry completely.

     2. Use a variety of gelatos and apply it onto the tag. Use your fingers to blend them.

 

      3. Use the swirl flourish stencil with a wet wipe and lightly remove some gelatos from the tag. This will create some white flourish images on the tag.

     4. Next, use the fall leaves stencil with some gelatos to create some leaves and cone images on the tag.

      5. Attach a strip of burlap on the bottom of the tag.

      6. Cut out some images from the pattern paper (November Collective of Children’s Hour collection). Add them onto the tag according to the picture below.

 

       7. Use some burlap flowers, leaves and pearls to further decorate this tag. Use a red pearl pen to add some red berries to it.

 

     8. Lastly, add a ribbon to the top of the tag.

     See you all again soon!

Mini Top Hat Clips

Hello crafty friends! Are you all planning to host a party during this upcoming Halloween? Thinking of what to create or give as party favors? Why not create these cute little top hats for each of your guests.

These top hats are very easy to create and fun. You can also create some with masculine look for your male guests. Below are some closer look on these clips.

I've actually created these for Chloe's birthday party guests. They love it! If you think that your guests might not want to clip it on, you can try making them into brooches. Here is a picture of Chloe with her top hat clip on.

I've forgotten to scan my template for creating these top hats, however, you all can simple google "mini top hat templates" to find some. Just adjust the size of it according to your likes.

It looks so cute on each of her party guests. Hope you all like this project and see you all again soon!

Altered Halloween Bottle Home Decor

Hello friends! Are you up for another Halloween project? This time, I'm sharing an altered Halloween bottle using tons of mixed media techniques and pattern papers by BoBunny. Below are more pictures on each sides of this bottle.

I've used some crackled and texture paste to add great distressed textures to it. I've also used some twine and burlap trim to soften the look of it.

Here are more close ups.

Hope you all find some inspiration from this project and start playing! See you all soon!

Altered Halloween Box

Hello friends! Halloween is just around the corner and time for some fun Halloween crafts. Today, I would like to share with you all a Halloween themed altered box. This box can be used to decorate around the house during this fun celebration.

I've used various textured flowers by Petaloo and some Authentique Paper Halloween pattern papers and decorate this box. I've also used some mixed media techniques to distress this box.

Below are some closer look.

To create the cracks, I used some crackle paste and tons of paints to color it.
