Faux Finishes & Progress

I am busy getting ready for a craft fair that is this weekend and busy fighting off the sinus infection and ear ache I just can't seem to get rid of!

I wanted to share a few of the little piles of goodies I am creating to sell at the show!

All packed up!

Key Fobs

Pretty Tissue Holders

Coin Purses w/ pearl snaps

I think they look so pretty all together!

Still more to come on my progress.....

On another note I wanted to share a fun faux finish technique I did on a frame I painted for a memo board.

First I started off with a plain wooden frame and painted it my desired color.

Then I choose another color for the accent.

I used this pretty felt trim from Heather Bailey's Scrap booking collection

Then I used a paint brush and painted the trim

(I used a paper plate to contain the mess)

Then lay the trim down on to the frame

Using a paper towel so you don't get the paint all over your

hand, then press lightly.

Lift off trim and you should have a print of the felt image on the frame.

Continue all around the frame until you get the look you want.

For mine I overlapped the images.

Now it is done!

Use to frame family photos or with my Framed memo board tutorial!

Here is a peek at what I will have in my frame!

Happy Crafting! Meg
