So glad I could share my project today, it is one of my favorite ideas- altering vintage items.
Using a vintage tea cup and saucer and a Smoothfoam Ball I was ready to make some magic.
1. Make sure you have a ball that will fit and still have a little wiggle room for adornment.
2. Set your ball up somewhere that you can paint and allow to dry. I used Dragon fruit Americana Deco art Paint.
3. I used a heavy duty glass glue to hold my teacup to my saucer.
4. Once my ball was dry it is ready to embellished.
5. Using a boa pieces and pearls,and paper flowers, I was able to make a decorative piece that could be used to hold jewelry or even decorative pins.
Because Smoothfoam has such a wonderful texture-the ball is able to hold my decorative pins without them drooping.
