 Show an Tell Friday

Here is a little project I started early this morning (Friday in Australia),

It took about 5hrs it started with a polystyrene cross that I

got for two dollars on Wednesday. 

Idea

So decided turn it into a shabby chic cross for my

daughters bedroom, that is being painted and decorated

shabby chic. Which is ironic as she a bit of a tom-boy

most of the time but she loves shabby chic. 

First stage

Started with painting the back with a silver colour

I had as a sample pot, then choose the paper for

the front and cut it to fit and glued it on with

hodge podge glue.

Second step

Picked  what Embellishments I was going to make and use

for the cross. First of all I used some cut out letter's, put 

the words faith and life, then added some shaggy wool.

Made a flower with butterfly brad and flower with heart in 

between the two and then embossed stamp of a 

crown on a oval tag with gold embossing, 

as well on a heart  a angel stencil 

 that was embossed with the gold too.

Finished project

My own one of kind shabby chic cross for under

$8.00 not bad.

So there is my first show an tell Friday

post, hope you enjoyed it and please
