celebrating National Craft Month
Expo International sent me a wonderful packet of trims to create with. My first reaction when I saw them. "Wow I can create all kinds of fun trinkets with these trims!" But what happens when you have trinkets? You need some place to put them. So I started out creating a fun trinket tray.
Supplies Needed:
24"-Lorlana Baby Pom Pom Fringe Trim (White)
12"-1/8" Rayon Mini Rick Rack (Aqua Blue)
1- small glass plate, 6-8" in diameter
1-small glass pot, 3" in diameter
Plaid Crafts Folk Art Enamel Multi-Surface Paint (Aqua)
Plaid Crafts Folk Art Tools Detail Painter (Large)
paint brush
E-6000
optional: oven
To Make:
- Wash and dry glass pot and plate.
- Using the paint brush, paint glass pot, covering entire surface.
- Use the large detail painter to add random polka dots to the plate.
- To set paint permanently: Either allow paint to cure for 21 days OR allow paint to dry 1 hour then place dishes into a cold oven, allow oven to reach 350 degrees, bake for 30 minutes, turn off oven and allow dishes cool before handling.
- After dishes have cooled use E-6000 to glue Mini Pom Pom Trim to inside of the rim of glass pot with pom-poms facing up. Glue Mini Pom-Pom trim to the outside of the rim with pom-poms facing down.
- Glue the rick-rack between the rows of pom-poms.
- Glue decorated pot to the plate allow to dry.
