Altered Paintbrush for Secret Garden Crafts

Hi friends!  Today, I have a different project than what I usually share.  My fellow design team members at Secret Garden Crafts and I were challenged to alter a paintbrush.  Here is my take on it.


For this project, I chose a small 1 inch size paintbrush.  I painted the handle in an off-white color.  A green leaf vine was wrapped around the handle and two lacey trims around the brush.  A pretty applique accented with a large pearl was placed on top the lace.  Next came the beautiful flowers from Secret Garden Crafts--Cottage Roses and Blooming Buds.  Gesso was added for a shabby look.  Two satin butterflies were placed among the flowers as well as a strand of pearls.  A lovely pink seam binding bow was tied at the top.


This was quite an easy project to do.  Please take some time to visit the Secret Garden Crafts blog to see what beautiful projects my fellow design team members created.  Also, please visit the Secret Garden Crafts shop to see all the gorgeous flowers available.  There is free shipping for all orders $20 and over.  Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the week!

  3. Absolutely gorgeous Patty! There are so many wonderful elements here, I could look over and over again and still see something new! Love how you did the brush part at the end, so frilly!

    So they threatened a huge snow storm on Thursday night, and although we got a lot of wind and some flurries were in the air, it never really landed on the ground. The temperatures have dropped though, so I am hoping the snow will fall very soon!! sending hugs :)
