The other day, I picked up this "open" wood sign from my local Daiso store and thought I could make it look a lot prettier with some Maya Road embellishments. :)
I chose some Maya Road embellishments, fiddled with the placement of them a little and then proceeded to adhere them all down with a hot glue gun. All done in 10 minutes.Whoa! I was happy.
Of course, days later, when I was about to photograph my project, it just looked way too plain. Like it needed MORE.
I spied some lace that I just cut out from an old bra [I did an Amazon bra spree recently and had to purge the same number of brassieres I purchased to avoid massive overload in the undergarment drawer...come on, you understand right? *LOL*] and thought I should add that for a little more visual interest.
It might not have been such a great idea since it took ages to glue it all down and then trim along the letters. So a 10-minute project took over an hour! That's the cost of messing around with a finished project. Now, I think the lace is a little too much texture! *LOL*
This project was created for Maya Road and first appeared on the Maya Road Design Team blog.
Hehehehe ... everyone does that with their bras, right?!?!? LOL!! I loveeeeeeeeeeeee this!!!!!!!! Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa..happens with most of us..never satisfied with plain look n then spend lot more time on it just to think previous plain was good ! I loved the texture on letters!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of doing that to a bra but I will try it now, thanks for the tip lol!
ReplyDeleteAs for the fiddling because it's not quite right I've lost count of the beautiful projects that weren't beautiful after I fussied them lol! Love that deer, so very cute! xx
Definitely not too much texture...it's stunning!! I love the lace!! It looks like it was a beautiful bra...I would've had a hard time cutting it up (which is why my undergarment drawer is so full, I have to shove it closed with both hands and a hip ;) This is spectacular my friend!! Love the beautiful flowers, too!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

So pretty, Yvonne!! I love the soft colors and that little fawn - aww! Great use for your old bras!! :) :)
ReplyDeletesee posts like this cheer me up! Love that you redid it after it was done because that is what I would do! Awesomeness and love your embellishments!
ReplyDeleteI like the lacy letters....made me want to touch it....hey someone make an app so I can touch Yvonne's pretty projects! 10 minutes or an hour it doesn't really matter if the end result is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI so love that you keep playing with things once they're finished!!! It looks super duper. I like more interest stuff than plain stuff, myself. And I did notice this sign in the pic of your desk on Insta!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you do make me laugh! But I can relate..... I think something is finished until I step back and look again another day... :) But seriously, this is just adorable, and so much fun. I love the lace and pearl trim along the bottom. And that little deer just makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide between #7 and #9. They are both so pretty, eye-catching, funky, and useful. Because of you, 2017 will be the year I WILL try to make use of the stuff I hoard for someday-crafting.
