DIY Home Decor Transformation Using Chipboard Shakers
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season. Today I am presenting some home decor pieces transformed into magnificent holiday showcases with the help of chipboard and chipboard shakers from Creative Embellishments, shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More, and paper from Maja Design.
Here is the first piece.
The image below summarizes the transformation process.
A little more about this piece and how it started. Below is the image of the original home decor seasonal plaque. Everything is on clearance this time of year and who doesn't love a Christmas clearance section in the store! The great thing about the plaque is that it is very deep and thick to make for a perfect shadow box when turned around to the backside. These are things I think about when shopping. It may look like Christmas today, but can this be painted and altered for use as a summer project? If possible then in the shopping cart it goes.
The plaque got flipped and I added embossing powder to the edges of the "house" and papered the piece using Maja Design, Holiday in the Alps paper.
The chipboard featured on this first project is a wonderful wintery chipboard shaker snowflake from Creative Embellishments. The chipboard was embossed with Aged Ivory embossing powder from Stampendous. This just may be my favorite embossing powder ever and the one where I keep well stocked in case I get snowed in for the winter.

A shaker isn't complete until you add some fabulous shaker mix.
The shaker mix is from Buttons Galore and is one of the Embellishment Bottles called Frosty Morning.
Shakers are so popular these days. I'm determined to help transform the shaker world by using shakers in various creative ways; banners, home decor, ornaments, and so much more. Have you checkout out Creative Embellishments ever expanding selection of shakers?

Here is the second piece, a simple cone tree created by ripping strips of cotton fabric and wrapping around a cone. I tucked CE- Large Snowflakes into the design that were painted with cream colored acrylic paint.
Very simple fast project but I love cone trees. The tree topper is an old metal piece I had in my stash.
The tree was embellished with Creative Embellishments
Large Snowflake Set, painted with white acrylic paint.
Thank you for stopping here and Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and peaceful 2020.
