Shabby She Shed Tin plus Bird Charms Sale (and FREE Gift)!
Filed under Art Projects, Back in Stock, Beads, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale, Shannon Cooper, Tiny Dress Shop Kit
Soooo cute! Design Team Member Shannon Cooper has made an impossibly tiny display inside a Blank Altoids Tin. So perfectly proportioned (see the 2nd photo of it down in the Giveaway section, in Shannon’s hand, for a better idea of the size).
I’ll just quote from Shannon’s blog post… and a teaser: that rabbit on the top shelf has inspired the new FREE gift!
Blank Altoids Tins are by far one of the best things on the planet. They can be transformed into countless things: decorated containers for secret things, pocket sewing kits for embroidery on-the-go, a base for altered art, or even a place to display miniatures. It was the Altered Tin Facades, coupled with a blank tin, that inspired me to create a wee scene with a shabby chic aesthetic. The Moments in Time 6×6 Paper Pad might have had something to do with it too. It is very pretty!
I began with the furniture, which is made from a few buttons and bent wire that has been painted white. The table was covered with a bit of doily and some Dresden trim. I chose a fabric covered button for the cushion of the chair and an oval button for the back. The back seemed plain so I painted on a few flowers. I emulated that on the tiny, tiny shutters also. I really love those shutters and am happy that they found a home on a very appropriate piece. The picture frame is simply cut from heavy cardstock, glued at an angle to give it a little dimension, and then painted. The shelf is also cardstock that is covered in paper and glued in place. The cute lamps come from the Dress Shop Shape Set. I chopped them in half, covered them in paper, added a doily trim, then glued them in place.
Here’s a link to see all of Shannon’s supplies, and you can see more photos and read more on Shannon’s blog post. There’s a chance to win EVERYTHING Shannon used down in the Giveaway.
