Shabby ~ FruFru ~ Upcycling

Hello My Sweet Friends!!!

 

Oh gosh, I didn't realized how much time has gone by

and I have not been here to blog about what is going

on in my life.  I guess I have been so busy creating

that the time was all spent! lol

I do so apologize!

 

Anyway, we all know that I create in the

shabby, chic, romantic anything roses realm!

In my heart of hearts I have ALWAYS loved to

upcycle and create unusual items.

That would be exactly what I have been doing

this past month.

 

Below I am sharing pictures of items that I have

put together and upcycling individual items into

shabby chic pieces of art.

 

Starting with pretty frufru Pillar Candle Holders

Many of my Pillar Candle Holders were just that

simple, plain pieces that needed a touch more done to them.

So, I added color to the bases and

then atop each base I added pretty castoff plates or

saucers that had lost their mates.

 

I didn't stop there though,  this is where the real fun

began.  Going through my collection of pretty

laces and ribbons I then began to frufru pillar holder.

 Some were even given pretty crystals too.

 

The piece below show how you can combine found

objects, like these smaller milk glass bowls.  They

were glued together and a sweet hand painted

vintage plate was added. 

 

The thrift stores, yard/garage sales are full of theses

type of pieces.  Now when you shop, begin

thinking outside the box of how you can add

pieces together.

I didn't stop there.  I have created jars that are taller by

added candle bases.  Below you can see that I also frufru'd

many jars/bottles that would have otherwise been thrown

out.

Would you believe the brown bottle is a bath and

body works lotion bottle? See, using anything you many

have, that you would otherwise have thrown away!

 

DON'T throw out those old bottles with out lids or

candy jars...reuse, recycle and create unique

one of a kind items, using your imagination!

Originally, I had just painted these twisted wire sconces.

But after frufruing up so many other pieces, I realized that

these looked quite plain...so they got a frufru'd too.

Pretty laces, ribbons and I made lacy roses...

so pretty and shabby chic now!

 

I am encouraging you today to THINK Outside the Box.

 

Many of my glass pieces were just sitting, waiting for me

to do something to them.  Once the creativity began,

nothing was left just plain, lol.

 

Go out and Create/Upcycle/Reuse your items!

 

Be Blessed
