What Is Cottage Core? DIY Shabby Cottage Decor From Thrifted Items

A tutorial on how I upcycled thrift finds and created Shabby Cottage home decor with chalk paint, Iron Orchid Designs stamps, and paper clay molds. I used burlap ribbon and chalk paint to create cute cottage style trays, baskets, and art perfect for decorating French country style and cottage core. I will show you how to paint and embellish thrifted decor and how to use rustic trims to upcycle discarded items. If you love baskets, chalk paint, trays, roosters, and roses you will be inspired by this video!

Have you tried using hot glue with your paper clay?

[@karoleenascottage]

I have not tried using hot glue on paper clay molds. I would need to experiment with that. 🙂

You got the Word " café " upside down

[@karoleenascottage]

I did that portion of the video with my camera in the selfie mode so that’s why “cafe” appears to be backwards. In the very beginning of the video the word is photographed correctly.
