These French Shot Chillers…
..ok it stops there!! The kind vendor explained what they were to me.. 2 times and I just fell in love...so cute… I already had ideas spinning in my head on what I could do with them..who was listening??..!! I completely forgot! Does that ever happen to you?
I just heard something..blah, blah French..
SOLD!
I put my favorite candle in one of them..
I look for ways to decorate candle’s..
Sometimes when they are not lit, they are not much fun to look at!
(Caution with the flames ladies and gents)
Vintage tea canister nestled with
brown & white transfer ware!
I wanted to share a great idea I saw to dye starfish! You may have seen this before..I think it is a wonderful idea and can add color and contrast anywhere. Perfect for spring and summer You can choose from many different color’s of dye…
I chose Rit Liquid Dye Denim Blue..
You can dilute the dye with water or you can use the dye in full strength to get the desired affect , I tried it both ways.
Soak for a few minutes..
and…
I love how they came out..it is your choice! .. Super easy.
Love those super easy project’s
I want to try and dye coral next..hmmm..
Check back to see what vignette these will end up in..
Have a Super day!

Who would ever have thought of dying starfish? But they look wonderful, especially in all those shades of grey. SO creative and unique.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I so gotta do that now. This aqua color keeps on coming back to haunt me so I think that I am going to start adding touches of it here. How pretty to dye starfish aqua. I wonder if you could dye them with diluted paint also? I'm going to have to try this now.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to do some starfish in that very same color! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
