Decoupage Caddy

Hellooo....
Its the beginning of the month and am here with my DT post for Rhedd's Creative Spirit. It's altered art or mixed media always and today I have given a plain wooden caddy a makeover.



I have used a tissue to decoupage and also used chalk paints from PLAID.



The squeeze tool/comb from Plaid is an amazing tool to give instant texture and dimension to an otherwise painted surface.

Here is a closer look with the pattern using the tool. Its gives a slight raised effect to the paint and at the same time a slightly distressed look.


 The lovely orchids pattern tissue had be adhered using Modpodge and the excess has been sanded off.



I have used Home decor chalk paints Lilac and Castle. The edged have been distressed with castle and the inside of the caddy too painted with the same color.



 I also soaked some cotton rope in watery chalk paint and then let it dry. The colored rope was then used around the handle.


I love how this turned out, lovely pastel shades and looks so different from the original now!



I hope you take the time to visit the blog to see the team's inspiration and play along too.
Thanks for stopping by.

Until my next creative journey,
Happy crafting and recycling.
Cheers.
