Flower Girl Basket
This flower basket was originally a very shiny, very fushia, party top hat. I got it from a dollar store. I turned it on its top, primed it, and painted it white on the inside and out. Once dry, I cut the excess edge from the top hat. Then I painted the outside blue. I used primer to keep the paint from chipping off. I Then I created a stencil on vellum using a daisy pattern punch to paint some flowers on the oustide of the basket with the white paint over the blue. To finish the paint job I used a pearlizing finishing paint that goes on sheer and adds the pearl shine to the paint. I then glued vellum cut-out daisy shapes with the same punch and I shaped the vellum to stick out like a flower petals and placed them on top of the daisies I had already painted using the stencils. I glued a half of a styrofoam pearl for the center of the flower. I also glued pearl rows to the bottom and the edge of the basket to cover any imperfections from cutting to size. I used wire to create three rows of pearls to use a handle for the basket.
Guest Book
This was a fun project. I got a hardcover book from a thrift shop. This one happened to have a back cover that is longer than the front cover. I cut out the pages of the book and painted every surface in a white flat paint, on the inside I covered it with paper which I later stamped to give it texture. On the front cover I added applications of styrofoam pearls, beads and jewels. When the book is closed the longer tab is still visible. I decorated it with embossed intials. This tab will also help to hold the pen for guest to sign with.
On the inside I stamped the names of the bride and groom and the date. I added pages from a sketch pad I got at the art store and I cut them to fit the size of the book covers. The pages were also embossed with a label and details on every corner
