~tutorial tuesday~

Hello hello friends!!

I hope you're all having a terrific week

so far! 

 Mine is good....the sun is still

shining so I definitely can't complain!

I've been wanting to share this

tutorial with you for awhile ~

but it just felt toooooo

complicated!

too many ingredients in the recipe ya know?

{oh you know how your eyes glaze over when you

hit about item number 9 in a recipe you want to try?

well that was me with this one.....too many steps...

too much work....for this girl! ;)}

But I reeeeeeeally like this look

so I kept digging....

and found an easier way!

yay!!!!!!!!

I came across it in a very round about

way ~ but I'm thinking it's gonna work!

 ~*~

so here' what you do!

frame a piece of glass

{not a mirror}

now go to this website

(another Graphics Fairy success story)

and follow the simple directions on

enlarging images to transfer to furniture,

walls, or whatever else you can some up with!

{this is sooooo cool &

no stencils required!}

then simply tape your image

to the back of your glass

and paint your words with glass paint!

~*~

now the aged mirror part:

follow this easy technique

for an aged mirror

she just used good ol' Krylon Spray Paint

in "Looking Glass"

and then spritzed a teeny bit of water

on it & let it dry!!

~*~

awesome huh???

I totally want to do this!!!

what do you think?

too many steps?

are your eyes glazed over??

or do you wanna give it a try??

Just think of the possibilites!

Got a cool ornate frame somewhere?

get glass cut from a glass cutter, or

Lowes or Home Depot!

find your graphic

print it out

paint it up

and krylon it!

love it!

xoxoxo,

Shellagh
