Out with the Old Part II

Here are a few more projects I made this week using some products retiring soon!


I found this burlap bag at a craft store, and added the polka dots with white craft paint and a sponge dauber.  I inserted a scrap piece of cardboard in the purse so the paint wouldn't leak through to the other side.  Once dry, I added dots to the other side.  Ribbon trim as added to the top of the bag with hot glue.  Tip: I used the seam on the top of the purse to guide where I added ribbon to make sure it was straight.  Scraps of ribbon were added on a safety pin, and rosettes were glued to the top.  Then, the safety pin was added to the side of the purse.  This step is optional, but I liked the idea of taking the ribbon streamers on or off depending on my mood!  



I've made a tray like this before in a previous blog using Etcetera designer series paper.  I've had this paper for a while, and decided it was destined to be a tray!  This wasn't hard to do, but took some time with measuring and cutting out the paper.  I used antique finish modge podge for this project and then finished it off with a gloss spray sealer.
