Vintage Mystical Merry-Go-Round
Hi everyone "WoW" what fun I had creating this chipboard project for Imagine if
First I assembled the pieces, then painted all my edges with a dark brown acrylic paint.
the paper was easy to cut to shape as there is a template included!
my paper of choice is Kaisercraft Magnolia grove, it gives a lovely vintage look.
I also have used Tim Holtz di stress ink "Vintage Photo" for the edges to age it a little more.
I have added some trim dyed with the Vintage Photo, I love how aged it looks!
The poles are made from skewer sticks with a straw placed over it that I covered with matching paper.
The gorgeous Unicorns and Pegasus I painted and then spritzed with Vintage Photo added to water and used stickles on the horns
For me the fun really begins when its time to add all the "Pretties"
I chose tiny flowers in matching colours to add on the centre pole and base of the outside ones.
Next I had decided to not join the base to the merry-go-round and make it into a container so I added some trim that holds it in place for lifting off and on!
The laser cut trim that was in the kit I placed upside down to give some height and age to it and then added a touch of pearl trim.
I hope you enjoyed this Tutorial for the first of my June DT Projects
