I found a really nice set of vintage metal coasters. The light bulb in my head went off immediately and I knew I had to have them and at 2.00 they were a delightful find. I found some vintage photographs on Pinterest and printed them out. I cut some printed paper for the back round and then fit the photos over that. I used water-proof Modge Podge to attach them to the coaster in case someone really does use them for what they were originally intended for instead of art! LOL
I bought these picture holders at an after Christmas sale. The were a real nasty green so I spray painted them pink. I used some pink glitter and Modge Podge to "glam" them up. I intend to sell them at the shop so for some extra eye candy I printed out a picture for each one on card stock.
This vase was a clear glass vase I pulled out of a free box. In an earlier blog posting I posted a blue one with a bird on it. This one I painted a peachy pink on the outside and an antique gold on the inside. I had this metal candle holder and decided to glue the vase to it as a base. I love anything cheap and gaudy and I think this fits that bill.
I'm totally on the lookout for similar coasters now!
