When I can recycle I do ! šā¤ļø
Like this Pitcher that belonged to my Tea Maker that stopped workingā¦.
I couldnāt throw this pitcher out so I transformed it into a beautiful container that is perfect for holding real or artificial flowers!
I just love how it came out !
Supplies you will need to make one yourself.
ā¢ Some type of pitcher . You can look at resale shops or even find one at a store for a low price.
ā¢ Some type of Print you would like to use . I found this one on Pinterest but there are so many you can choose from .
ā¢ Hydrangeas napkins ( or which ever one you want to use .)
I'll drop a link where I got mine .
ā¢ Mod Podge or Elmers glue
ā¢ Material for a bow
ā¢ Spray paint I used Almond color
ā¢ Clear sealer spray
ā¢ pink paint or blush
ā¢ blue paint or blue eye makeup
I printed my Bunny on regular copy paper .
These were the colors I chose to use for my pink color and eye color .
I just added a little color pink to the ears and nose .
I did use a very fine marker to draw the eye lashes and whiskers to make them a little longer! š
Look how adorable she looks all ready!
I added the blue to the eyes!
Adorable!
I used the tape to thin out the paper !
If you choose to do this step just use caution when you pull the tape off so it doesn't rip .
I like using a credit card or anything hard enough to make sure the tape is on really well!
This just makes the paper thinner so it doesn't leave such a thick edge when you decoupage it on .
Now it's ready for the last step !
I always make a lot of coffee stain solution and whatever I have left over I store in the refrigerator for the next time I need it ...
I went ahead and coffee stained the bunny with a light coat and let ot dry .
It is so cute already !
This is the color Almond spray paint I used for my pitcher.
I just gave it one coat and let it dry.
Now that my bunny is dry I went ahead and trimmed the paper away around her .
( I tore it )instead of cutting it with scissors.
She is ready to be added to the pitcher after we put the Hydrangeas napkin on .
I pulled all the layers off my napkin this one had two layers of the back paper so make sure you remove all of them.
I used Elmer's glue for this project but you can use Mod Podge too!
I applied the napkin on ...I also tore the edges of the napkin as well.
Then I applied the Bunny on with the glue.
Work in section so you don't accidentally rip it ..
Such a cutie!
I then used my coffee stain again .
I applied it to the whole pitcher front and back.
It also had a little bit of coffee grinds in it so it added to the grunge look! Which I love!
I then sprinkled some Diamond dust glitter to the bunny !
She needs to sparkle!
Here's a tip for you! I keep my glitter in salt shakers ! It makes it easier to sprinkle it on!
My bunny is sparkling!š
Then I glued these beautiful little roses on her head!
She's adorable!
Once everything was dry I sprayed it with this Clear sealer.
While everything was drying I went ahead and made a fun rag bow .
I also love to add a little grunge to my bow so I rubbed my ink on the pieces of material I was using.
You don't have to do this but I love adding this look!
My bow is done and ready to be attached.
I tied it to the handle then added a drop of glue to make sure it didn't move .
Then I took my ink, this one is called Basil Leaf and rubbed it on the edges of my pitcher and along other areas that I wanted to add more grunge to it .
This was also the ink I used on my bow .
I love the look it gives it .
It actually transforms it to looking like a metal pitcher instead of plastic!
Love it!
I simply love how it came out !
I can't wait to put some real fresh flowers in it !
But these beautiful artificial ones will do for now! š
I hope you give this a try !
