I shared this project awhile back at The Frugal Girls, but, in case you missed it, I'm showing it again here.
Yep, recycling crafts. I'm so green.
And, yes, I've made it on to Round 3 of American Crafter. Whew. Great news, but now I've got to get busy on another project for this week's voting! The theme is Spring, and I've got an idea brewing, but it requires spray painting. And, guess what's happening right now in my part of Texas? A downpour that could last days!
So, yeah. Wish me luck.
This project combines a few of my great loves: dollar bins, repurposed art, cupcakes and Springtime.
Intrigued??
Recently, I spotted some adorable cupcake liners in the dollar bins at Michaels and knew they were destined for something fun, fresh and...springy!
I paired my new cupcake liners with a remnant of bright yellow fabric and a wooden plaque I'd picked up at Family Dollar months ago for a discounted price of $2 (how could I pass it up at that price??) and walked away with some fun art to welcome Spring!
Oh, I do love this time of year!
I gave my discounted plaque two coats of white spray paint and, using pinking shears, cut my yellow fabric remnant to fit the plaque's middle.
I then took 3 aqua cupcake wrappers and turned them inside out and placed each one on top of another cupcake wrapper so that my cupcake flowers had print on the inside and on the outside. Using my 2-inch circle cutter, I cut 3 circles from coordinating scrapbook paper and placed each one inside of a flower.
To make the petals, I divided one green cupcake wrapper into 6 pieces and rounded the edges with scissors.
Using mod podge, I attached the yellow fabric to the white plaque by painting the glue under the fabric and then over the fabric.
After the yellow fabric was adhered to the plaque, I began assembling my cupcake wrapper flowers, one piece at a time, making sure that each element was thoroughly mod-podged.
After the three flowers were attached to the plaque, I painted mod podge once more over each flower. When they dried, the flowers were nice and stiff!
And, that was that! An easy-breezy, completely unique piece of art for the upcoming Spring season! I'm sure this will end up on one of my Spring mantels! But, for now, it's adding a bit of cheer to my kitchen, because kitchens should be...cheerful!

I am having l nightmares over the Rhino Shield covering on my house, installed just over three years ago. Large bubbles are in the material that I can slit and hand peel the material, right down to the bare red cedar clapboards, which were also primed with an oil primer and finished with latex paint before the Rhino-Shield was applied. The material has a lifetime guarantee, so when I called several persons, including the owner Rhino Shield they all came over quickly.
Rhino Shield said that the material was probably put on when the cedar was damp, and thus would strip everything and apply a new primer and finish coat, let dry, then apply new Rhino Shield, adding that there will be no more work till flashing is....
