silver leaf art – tutorial

-
silver leaf
-
metal leaf adhesive spray
-
plain paper (I used a few sheets of computer paper)
-
background paper (I used a thicker paper so it wouldn’t buckle)
-
pencil and object for tracing
-
scissors
-
glue stick
STEP THREE: Flip the paper you just silver leafed over, and trace circles using the lip of a glass. If you have a large circular punch it would make this much easier and save you the tracing and cutting out time.
STEP FOUR: Cut out your traced circles.
STEP FIVE: Use a glue stick to coat the back of your cut outs.
STEP SIX: Arrange circles onto your backing paper.
My favorite part about this piece is how it changes with the light at different angles.
Here it is hanging in our bathroom before it got moved to its current spot on top of the dresser.
The possibilities are endless. I’m LOVING the idea of doing this with a child’s silhouette. What are you guys thinking of??

Small Vintage Rugs
I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “every room needs something vintage”. Vintage brings soul and character to a space. Without it things can feel too new and shiny. Vintage rugs are everywhere right now and there’s a reason for it. They’re perfectly imperfect, wear like a champ, but can be EXPENSIVE. I was snapping a…
floppy glove fix – tutorial
So, my gloves don’t necessarily “fit like a glove”. The thumbs are so long and floppy I can’t even wear the darn things without going nuts. And no, I don’t have freakishly short thumbs.
