I am sure you know how much I love the Teresa Collins products so I couldn't wait to play and take part in the Hop. I also love to upcycle and that is what I have done for you today. I used the Daily Stories collection, I LOVE this rose print paper and the colors, so soft and pretty! I decided to upcycle a wooden teapot that I purchased at a Thrift Shop. First I basecoated the pot. Then, I just traced the teapot onto the pattern paper, cut it out and then used my Xyron 9" Creative Station to add adhesive to the back and voila. Easy peesy!
Finally I created a little sequin tag using the Teresa Collins sequins in the collection and some stamps from Papertrey Ink. I used the 1.5" Create-a-Sticker to paper piece the label. I then tied it on with some Divine Twine. I thought this would make a nice way to give some tea as a gift.
Here is the before photo. I just took the metal tea plaque off before painting and adhering the paper. I then just reattached it when I was done.
Wow! What a beautiful transformation! It takes a special eye to see the possibilities of an item like the before picture. You've got it in spades. Love the paper you selected. Very pretty!
