Since revamping my craft room I have been finding beautiful paper books I forgot I had so I decide instead of always making cards I would try and up cycle some bits and bobs.
I bought this white mdf Letter rack from a bargain basement shop and decided I would change it up a little.
Here it is as I purchased it.
I lightly sanded it then I found some paper I like on this occasion it was some Craft work cards country garden papers I used.
I then measured the paper and backed the back board once the glue was dry I sealed it with watered down pva glue.
Then I used a Dulux Endurance Nut meg white paint to give it a hint of pink so it matched the backing paper.
Once that was dry I used some gold leaf foiled rub on's to decorate the post word at the front randomly.
I then cut out flowers using three sizes of a daisy punch then I added a flourish and made the flowers up gluing the Flowers to the back. Using a crafters companion clear sparkle pen I added some sparkle to the roses a few gems to finished and here is the finishing result.
I have now finished my second one and will be gifting them to my mum and mother in law as part of their mother's day gift.
I would love to know what you think and I hope you find my tutorial useful.
Thank you for visiting
Happy Crafting.
