Crafty Fridays: Table Tidies
** warning: this post is picture heavy
I created some gorgeous table tidies (or pencil pots, whatever you wish to call them) using the lovely papers from the Tea at Elsie's Collection.
These took me about a month to complete because I kept losing the motivation to complete them. This project is not ideal for a chronic fatigue sufferer, but I've finally finished and I'm so proud!
I made these for my mum to use in the kitchen. Originally the kitchen was going to have a blue theme but silly me forgot that has now changed so they don't match at all *sigh*. I've promised to deck out the laundry in blue so maybe these could be used as peg holders instead?
This one features the Chamomile paper
This one is done up with the Darleejing paper
And this paper is the very pretty Ceylon
After I stuck down the paper, I painted wooden flourishes, decorated them with pearls and then attached them to the center.
To finish off, I painted the visible edging to match the papers and then trimmed with lace. Pretty!
I do love how they turned out. I'm now motivated to make some for my craft studio!
