Storage Box with MDF Cube Kit

 

  Hello everyone!

 

Today a new inspiration how versatile and creative you can work 

with the MDF shapes.

I needed new storage boxes for pens, notes, 

business cards and similar things.

Thatswhy I decided to use a very practical box kit,

have used the two parts of the box separately from each other.

I am a big fan of the magic forest theme and so I quickly found the right shapes. 

I love these old whimsical trees and this mystical gothic window. 

Mdf parts can not only be designed in very different coloursand textures, 

but you can also divide them very well and create new ideas with them.

 

Try it !

Wonky Forest House

 Hello everyone!

 

 When I discovered the wonky house, I immediately thought it was not just for Halloween,

 it could also be a wonderful old enchanted wooden cabin in a magical forest. 

So I quickly glued the parts together, which wasn't that easy,

 but I wanted to create an old half-ruined romantic hut.

 

  

 raw construction

used Trefoil border shape as a base board

looked for a few matching pieces in Autumn & Woodland Shapes section. 

 Have you seen the new Skeleton, Dead Trees, Stumps & Branches?

Love them, perfect for an enchanted forest theme

and a lot of other fantasy themes!

You will certainly be able to discover them here more often in the near future. 😀

All parts were painted with acrylic paint, finally I added some suitable

 dried natural materials.

Home Decor Altered Art - Springtime in Forest

 

 Hello everyone!

 

Today a new springtime inspiration.

 

Used a half metal egg as base, before it was a original box of chocolates.

 that has been painted with light green chalk paint.

The background was completed with cutting dies (fern leaves).

A piece of floral foam was attached in the lower part of the egg, 

shapes were inserted and on the front  glued on.

MDF shapes were primed with white gesso and 

then painted with acrylic paints.

To compliment the natural look

 I used dried branches with lichen.

Springtime Gift Inspiration

 

Hello everyone!

 

 Today a new Home decor inspiration,

worked with an amazing Shrine Kit.

 

After a simple assembly and gluing of the kit,

 I applied a white crackle paint. 

Love the weathered look, not perfect, but unique.

 I was not afraid to break single parts into several pieces, 

fern now fits perfectly on the corner 

and a part of the daffodil wreath now crowns the shrine.

Secret Garden - Spring Home Decor

 

 Hello everyone!

 

Spring begins today, at least the meteorological kind 😀. 

Time to look forward to the garden again. 

 

Today I created a mixed media piece for the home decor,

 combining MDF shapes with castings from moulds. 

 Flat parts together with the 3d casts (made with air drying modeling clay)

 create a very lively image,

love that.

 

 

 

 

 

 Chose two oval mixed shape as the base

the lower larger form was painted with some texture paste 

and green acrylic paint. 

 Upper one received a crackling varnish in combination

 with beige acrylic paint.

 

 Window was primed with crackle medium and covered with several layers 

of acrylic paint to achieve a weathered look.

 

I put a photo behind the window, it should make you want 

to work in the garden again.

Little forest house

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 When I saw the latest Birdhouse Kits

 I was inspired to create a magical little forest house. 

I think the Guilded  Feather Birdhouse 

would be very suitable for a similar craft idea.

 

I used a simple wooden birdhouse as base, worked with some

 suitable MDF shapes and natural dried materials. 

 

The perfect addition for me was the sunbeam door 

and the little spider web canopy, they take us into an enchanted world 

where elves feel at home.

Hanging Spring Deco

 

Welcome everyone!

 

Winter has returned with snow and ice
and the start of spring has been postponed indefinitely.
 
To counteract the gloomy mood and the lack of sunshine,

 a new spring project can helps.
 
Today's theme is Altered Art,
I used a simple swing made from a wooden branch and a wire hanger as a base
and created a hanging spring decoration.

 
You can hang it on a small window, under a shelf (as seen here)
 or even on the Easter shrub,
between Easter eggs, an old German tradition.

All the MDF shapes were painted with acrylic paint,
The blue bells were turned into a hyazinth,
