Tutorial: Screen Print Flour Sack Towels with your Silhouette

I love the Vintage looking tea towels I'm seeing on the various home décor websites.  I decided to pick up some flour sack towels from Wally World and give screen printing a shot.  Only I don't have screen printing materials....so I made my own!

The first thing I did was find some awesome graphics, from The Graphics Fairy!!  Check out her amazing website:

There are a LOT of steps to this so check out my video tutorial below!

 

 

Here are some more photos of the final product!  Coming to the Etsy store soon!

 

 

 

Faux Mercury Glass Tutorial

I love mercury glass.  I love that old, vintage, worn out shine.  I don't love the mercury, I mean who wants to be mad as a hatter?  Not me!

I fell in love with these oversized hurricane lanterns from Mythology--but it's $140 for ONE.  ummmm...not in my budget.  And even if it was, why would I pay $140 for something that will probably be broken by a soccer ball flying through the house??

So I found my own glass hurricane lanterns at Goodwill for $2.99 each.  the are perfect!!  Big and oversized, just begging to be mercurized!  I hopped over to Hobby Lobby and picked up a can of Krylon Looking Glass Paint.  Now I'm set!

Check out the video tutorial and you'll be turning every piece of clear glass you own into Fauz Mercury Glass!

I heart jar.

I heart jar.

Mason jars that is!

We've got three sets of these colorful gals ready to go!  Each jar is hand painted, distressed and sealed with an acrylic sealer.  The paint is on the outside so you can fill with water and add your favorite flowers!

We are working on creating an etsy store for awesomeness like these jars, and we'll be at some local art shows soon!

My Style: Bedroom

Thought I'd share a little bit of my style.  This is my bedroom.  Currently a work in Progress.  I need to get some real curtains and convince Mr. Vintage Fragment to let me get some chalk paint on that Armoire.

This wreath is on my door.  Made from old wire and a thrift store book.

 This was an INCREDIBLY UGLY blue trunk that I think we found on the road.  Anyway, after luch painting and an old French address from The Graphics Fairy we have this fabulous piece.  I keep my scarves and purses in it!  Yay for cute storage!
