I just love when we have a project like this that gives us the possibility to work together as a team. We kind of contradict at first because we each believe have better ideas, and of course we agree to disagree… But we somehow end up with the best solution covered in a compromise (and a kiss) and everything is great again in our dreamy factory :)
How to make a Shabby Chic wooden easel



How to paint with two contrasting colors and create a Shabby Chic finish





LATER EDIT:
I’m starting a new and exciting collaboration with Karen / The Graphics Fairy and I’m gradually making some of my collages and printables available for FREE download on her website.

Dear Diana, this piece is so lovely…I’m taking some time today to savor your amazing projects. Thank you for creating this sweet easel, and for showing us how simple it is to make our own!

This is a lovely project! I have admired your shabby chic projects for a long time now. I finally created a small wooden display piece using your technique with black paint, candle wax, white paint and sanding it. I am pleased with my first attempt, thank you for the inspiration and the techniques shared. I love this graphic, I may buy waterslide decal to try it out. i look forward to more posts with you and Karen collaborating.
I’m so happy when someone decides to give my projects a try .. I can’t even tell you! :)
Karen, she is truly an endless inspiration, she made all this possible through her amazing graphics.
I hope you try the decals, too, they are my favorite when it comes to quick, easy and clean (French) decorating.
Thanks for stopping by, Rupa, I really appreciate your comment!
So glad you shared easel tutorial. Might just get hubs to make one. Thanks also for gorgeous French images. I printed it out on laminated white burlap and on white cardstock depending on what I decide to use it for. Was so glad to find laminated burlap in white and natural, also found light laminated canvas to print on. All these were at Walmart in craft section. So much can do, gives images special look on burlap. Only get 3 sheets in pkg. for $2.97. Will have great time deciding how to use them. Happy weekend
I’m happy you like it, Jane Ellen!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing all these great infos, I love people that find such unique ways of decorating!
so, is the graphic transferred on? or is it a decal?, or did you use modge podge?
still not sure how you got the graphic on
thanks
Rossanne, I used decals for this project, but you can also use Modge Podge (or any other medium transfer gel).
Have fun! :)
