How to Plaster Dip Artificial Flowers and use them to Embellish Cottage Decor

[@sheilabest3652]

The book stacks are beautiful and rustic. The scripture is the perfect addition.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you Sheila❤️

[@sandrasanders9290]

I like how the green stems had just a little color left. The book stacks are so pretty and I like the frame as well. I always like how you put a scripture inside a drawer when you redo furniture.

Greetings From Maine!!! I am so very happy that I found your channel! I have had a love affair with burlap for years now, but until I just watched your grain sack video, I honestly didn't know or couldn't visualize how to style it in my home! I am re-decorating my house from farmhouse to shabby chic! It just feels better to my senses the older I get! Also, I love that you work with your sister, I am the youngest of 3. That is a bond that the Lord blesses us with! I really liked the dipped flowers; my husband came in and said "that's plaster of Paris! I can do that; can we do that? that looks like fun!"" lol so Thank YOU BOTH for putting that childlike joy and a pep in these grandparent's steps! lol May the God Lord Bless you Both! Thanks! Melinda from Maine!!

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Aww, thank you so much my dear sweet friend❤️. Am I’m so happy to hear that your husband wants to share in the fun. It sounds like you have a good marriage and that is too rare today. I personally feel that creating is relaxing and fun. 🙂

[@timmelindastanton5971]

​@@ourshabbycottage8553 Thank You for responding! I agree, crafting is fun and relaxing and such an outlet for frustration! Nothing better than ripping fabric to get your anger out! lol I was wondering; can you ship up here to me? I will pay extra of course, but I really would love some of the florals and the rabbit and bird statues. I can't find a decent rabbit up here at all! also, would like to try the Dixie Bell paint. Thank you again! ps... yes, I have a great marriage. your right, these days thats becoming rare. when back in my day, the Andy Griffith show and The Waltons showed America how real families should run. Alas, that old snake has gotten his hooks into tv these days! I think that's a Maine reason our country is falling apart! No family Values!! Anyways, please think on shipping, if you can't I understand! Thank You! Melinda from Maine!

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

@@timmelindastanton5971 Melinda, I really wish I had time for shipping but I think I’ve bitten off as much as I can possibly chew😉. I’m so sorry. I agree though about the state of our world and absolutely no programs on tv like that anymore. I just don’t watch. It frustrates me too much and tries to steal my joy. Again, I’m so sorry about not shipping.

Awesome dipped flowers. They used tmake a porcelain dip that was like yogurt. They turned out real nice Love the book stacks. They are really pretty !!

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

Thank you sweet friend ❤️. I’m not sure this method will hold up.

[@beckyfrazier5929]

They look great! Back in the day we would use fabric stiffener or glue and water to make silk flowers look porcelain. I imagine you could do same thing and then use chalk paint.

[@ourshabbycottage8553]

That may work better!

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

You can still get fabric stiffener which works great!

[@victoriafreudenthal4528]

[@sharonhendricks9706]

OH! Lisa, you outdid yourself with these book stacks! Lol.....I love the look you gave them and I'm really intrigued by that tissue wrap idea. Boy, that really beats always painting them, although I think there are times for both ways. I experimented with doing a faux cement look on a couple of hardback books. I used two sizes of the IOD birds in flight molds and added a small, black and white floral stamp to partially show under the larger bird, added some lightly tinged bluish gray color here and there kinda shadowing it in places, then finished with stippling and spreading and more stippling, etc., over the entire book. It turned out pretty good! I did use 220 sandpaper to gently smooth any rough edges. I love those birds and like you, I love adding scriptures to things where I can.Thank you for another great inspirational video.
