Fairy Palace With High Impact Paint

Today's show -n- tell starts as a 3-D wood puzzle and ends a Fairy Palace with Tattered Angels High Impact Paint. For a detailed tutorial including construction tips stop by the

Canvas Corp Blog

 The intricate details on the towers and walls are made with Calambour: Touch 3D Glossy Effect. This water based gel can be applied with a paint brush or through a stencil with a palette knife. Several hours are needed for drying time, but the results are stunning.

 Here Ducat Gold is applied through a Pebbles stencil.

 Light blue was added to the castle walls through another Pebbles stencil.

 The upper level of the castle is decorated with Rich Gold through fine, brass stencils.

Calambour 3D Gel and Tattered Angels High Impact Paint are the perfect pairing for this fairy palace!

How To Make A Beaded Rose Ornament From Burlap Flower

A burlap flower makes a wonderful ornament for your tree. Add a bit of paint and some beads and your Beaded Rose Ornament is ready to go. Burlap flowers from Canvas Corp are the perfect starting point for this project.

 Supplies:
Burlap Flower (Canvas Home Basics)

High Impact Paint, Red (Tattered Angels)

Thread

Beads

 Step 1: Paint tips of flower red. 

Start at the back and paint a thin layer just on the edge. As you work around the flower the paint will dry quickly. 

Step 2: Leave to dry.

An extra 15 minutes should be enough to keep the paint from smearing where it isn't wanted.

 Step 3:Add three strands of red thread to the flower center.

Tie a knot in the end of three 10" strands of thread. Thread all three onto a needle and pull through the center of the flower. To anchor the strands take a couple small stitches through the top two layers.

 Step 4: Bead each thread strand.

A) Thread needle with one of the strands and add 5 beads.
B) Loop the thread through the last bead a second time.

C) Hold 5th bead about one inch from the flower and tie a knot between the last bead and the remaining four to hold it in place.
D) Thread the needle through the remaining four beads and back into the flower center. Tie a knot at the back of the flower to secure strand of beads.

 Step 5: Attach ornament hanger.

Weave the lower hook through the bottom two layers of burlap so that it holds securely.

 This 30 minute Beaded Rose is so easy to make that you will find multiple uses for it. Fill your Christmas tree, use as Package tie-ons, or add several to a wreath. I've used one to decorate the cover for my journal. 

Friday I'll have instructions for you on sewing and decorating your own canvas journal cover.

How To Make A Beautiful Mermaid Pillow, Quick And Easy

Here's how to make a beautiful Mermaid Pillow Cover, the quick and easy way. Start with a Canvas Corp Brands pillow cover and the project will be done in an hour or two. Add vibrant color with High Impact Paint by Tattered Angels. The only difficulty is selecting which shade NOT to use.

~ Mer-Pillow ~

Supplies: Burlap Pillow Rectangle; 10" x 18" Pillow Form or Stuffing; Card Stock; High Impact Paint in Light Blue and Turquoise.
Tools: Wax Paper; Craft Knife; Washi Tape; Paint Brushes
Step 1: Print or draw mermaid silhouette. I used Whiteboard paper so I could redraw the lines until I got the angles just right.

Step 2: Cut out mermaid silhouette with craft knife and tape stencil to Burlap Pillow Rectangle. Cut 9" x 17" liner from wax paper. Insert into Rectangle to prevent paint bleed through.

Step 3: Use Stencil brush, sponge, or any blunt brush to dab Light Blue High Impact Paint onto burlap. Allow paint to dry 20 minutes.

Step 4: Dab Turquoise High Impact Paint onto burlap. Mix equal parts of both paint colors and dab onto burlap. Allow paint to dry 20 minutes.

Step 5: Remove Stencil. Use flat, stiff brush to dab Turquoise High Impact Paint around mermaid outline. Leave burlap to dry over night.

Step 6: Remove wax paper liner. Insert 10" x 18" pillow form or stuffing. Display Mer-Pillow with nautical pride.

Cardstock:DCWV
