Hello everyone. It's time for the next
Craft-Room Challenge, but firstly I'd just like to say that the entries for the Masking challenge were beautiful! Thank you to everyone who entered. This time it was my turn to choose the theme, so I chose "Home Decor" as I love seeing handmade creations and altered items in other people's homes. Home Decor includes anything and everything - from wall hangings to furniture, and everything in between! Some last minute supplies for my wall hanging didn't turn up so I went to Plan B. We had a twin pedestal dressing table (not in great condition), which we could no longer fit in the bedroom, so instead we decided to take the top off it and make it into 2 separate drawer units. Using some Decopatch glue and a few papers which I got from a craft fair many months ago, I set to work on customising one of the drawer units (which conveniently fits under my craft desk perfectly!):
I may, at some point, add some labels onto the drawers, for the contents.
I liked the end result so much that I decided to recycle a cordial bottle, lol.....

...and now I have a new little vase. I hung a small dragonfly charm from some white cord, around the top of the bottle. This was the first time I've used this stuff, and I'm quite impressed with the finish, as it's very smooth! I'm now thinking that maybe some very nicely patterened (but thin) wrapping paper, along with Ranger Glue n Seal may work quite well too?
Watch this space!!!
I'd love for you to have a go - for inspiration, check out what the rest of the Design Team have come up with, as their creations are absolutely beautiful! If you're new to the challenge, and are unsure of the rules, have a look at the
