I can't wait to get started on this project and I am already dreaming of all my vintage treasure that I will put in each of the cubbies.

Unfortuneately, the transfer did not work well on the uneven surface of the basket so, I had to go to plan B.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bmPz0rA_TF4/TYu2IFAR1mI/AAAAAAAACm0/khLPhQikY_Q/s1600/IMG_0292.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587760012581787234" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bmPz0rA_TF4/TYu2IFAR1mI/AAAAAAAACm0/khLPhQikY_Q/s400/IMG_0292.JPG" /></a>I taped my print out on the window and carefully traced around each letter. <br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TwbFnoOTsEk/TYu1wB_xXyI/AAAAAAAACms/1BKUhsoMV80/s1600/IMG_0296.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587759599457492770" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TwbFnoOTsEk/TYu1wB_xXyI/AAAAAAAACms/1BKUhsoMV80/s400/IMG_0296.JPG" /></a>Then, I carefully colored in each letter with heavy pencil lead.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RizznZTmHvs/TYu1v7aCZvI/AAAAAAAACmk/jTRlFnsvaqw/s1600/IMG_0298.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587759597688612594" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RizznZTmHvs/TYu1v7aCZvI/AAAAAAAACmk/jTRlFnsvaqw/s400/IMG_0298.JPG" /></a><br />Then, I turned my print out over and placed it on the top of the picnic basket and repeated the process of tracing the letters and coloring them in once again with pencil lead. This time right side up!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBfwocNNNhc/TYu1veAubqI/AAAAAAAACmc/PAiet40jm0I/s1600/IMG_0299.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 271px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587759589797818018" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UBfwocNNNhc/TYu1veAubqI/AAAAAAAACmc/PAiet40jm0I/s400/IMG_0299.jpg" /></a>Then, I used a paint pen and colored over the penciled lettering.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eJ7SQBTam2Q/TYu1uxMyFMI/AAAAAAAACmU/BKiDfjUGyfc/s1600/IMG_0304.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587759577768793282" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eJ7SQBTam2Q/TYu1uxMyFMI/AAAAAAAACmU/BKiDfjUGyfc/s400/IMG_0304.jpg" /></a><br />This is how it turned out! </div><div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fZYv_rpLGoY/TYu1uv0hisI/AAAAAAAACmM/JqnnaXrBrhY/s1600/IMG_0310.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587759577398610626" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fZYv_rpLGoY/TYu1uv0hisI/AAAAAAAACmM/JqnnaXrBrhY/s400/IMG_0310.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I really like it however, I would have preferred the lettering of the front of the basket!! Now, I'm using this technique on several other things around the house. I is a nice alternative to stenciling which I completely stink at!</div><div> </div><div>Take care,</div><div> </div><div>B<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>EMBELLISHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02772187685765344926noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553999354851088548.post-40621501863148361832011-03-15T23:27:00.007-04:002011-03-16T08:36:18.607-04:00Handmare Wire Bird Cage/Cloche<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4Mca81e1POc/TYAvQwBNwAI/AAAAAAAACmE/YQI1_YP-4_U/s1600/IMG_0234.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584515502753824770" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4Mca81e1POc/TYAvQwBNwAI/AAAAAAAACmE/YQI1_YP-4_U/s400/IMG_0234.jpg" /></a> This was my inspiration!

I put a few drops of glue down into the whole and then I screwed the pull down into the cork. Viola, instant wine cork bottle topper!

I like to go back there and see what kind of treasures I can dig up. I have dug up dozens of old bottles which I have a strong affection for. I use them as sort of an unconventional home decor. I had the idea of dressing them up a bit by using drawer pulls, door knobs, crystals, and old keys. I had fun with this project and I like the way it transformed my trash to a little treasure!<br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cJ76B0vJVds/TW0NeI0J46I/AAAAAAAACjc/TNvx9uT2-YA/s1600/IMG_0025.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579130324795384738" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cJ76B0vJVds/TW0NeI0J46I/AAAAAAAACjc/TNvx9uT2-YA/s400/IMG_0025.jpg" /></a> A few bottles I recently dug up waiting to be cleaned.

I had an idea for a fun project so I used my pinking shears scissors and free handed different size circles out of various different pieces of material. I also used some burlap. Once I got several <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">coordinating</span> color and sizes I put them together and made a little stitch in the middle to hold them together. Then I accessorized them with either a button or a vintage pin. Now they were ready to be pinned on my sweaters, coat jackets, skirts or even head bands. It was Sew easy!!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKyCKYcfqII/AAAAAAAACTs/V-xIL93PsQ0/s1600/IMG_4648.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524933957749024898" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKyCKYcfqII/AAAAAAAACTs/V-xIL93PsQ0/s400/IMG_4648.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKyCJxLNqMI/AAAAAAAACTk/zeqsw-ZdUxk/s1600/IMG_4659.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524933947207559362" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKyCJxLNqMI/AAAAAAAACTk/zeqsw-ZdUxk/s400/IMG_4659.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKyCJVhNQlI/AAAAAAAACTc/z0K3lcVJdVA/s1600/IMG_4651.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524933939783615058" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKyCJVhNQlI/AAAAAAAACTc/z0K3lcVJdVA/s400/IMG_4651.jpg" /></a><br />Take care!</div><div align="center">B<br /><br /><div><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>EMBELLISHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02772187685765344926noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553999354851088548.post-66853696783813471472010-10-01T09:09:00.007-04:002010-10-01T18:42:20.367-04:00RaDoM StUfF<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKXgdkcliFI/AAAAAAAACTM/EwwxjjiaKo0/s1600/IMG_4635.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523067316644186194" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pc8Rh1AwJvs/TKXgdkcliFI/AAAAAAAACTM/EwwxjjiaKo0/s400/IMG_4635.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-size:78%;">Image from: Salvage Style by Moira and Nicholas <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hankinson</span></span></div><div align="left">My sister gave me this book several years ago and when I saw this project my heart skipped a beat.
