My rolling pin is a smaller type, the wood is gorgeous, the wood grain was lovely so I decided not to paint it.
I first wrapped some muslin around the pin...then added some fabric that has script printed on it..added another layer of muslin.
All layers of the fabrics I frayed at the edges.
I then added several strips of lace and beaded braid to the pin.
In the centre of the pin I adhered a fabric flower and this beautiful lace butterfly...
the butterfly is gorgeous on its own,but for this project I just wanted to add a little something extra so added a pearly centre piece...
I tied organza ribbon around the neck of each handle so it can be hung up..it's currently on my pine wardrobe door handle...and very nice it looks too...lol.
Do pop over to the challenge blog and play with us this month...all sorts of altered art/mixed media is acceptable...except cards. atcs etc, no papercrafts.
The challenge is here....
