Saturday Step x Step: Shabby Chic Home Decor

How to Create Shabby Chic Home Decor with Waste Corrugate Cardboard

Hello, Friends! It's Kathy here with today's Saturday Step x Step Tutorial. I've created an easy to follow Snapguide for this Shabby Chic Home Decor piece that I made for the All in the Family Challenge that 's going on right now at Frilly and Funkie.

 

This is a reprint of my mom and dad's wedding photo that is very dear to my heart.  You could easily substitute your own favorite family photo. 

This piece measures 6" x 8" and is made with corrugated cardboard packing material.  I had quite a few nice pieces left from our recent move, and couldn't bear to toss them out.  They make a great alterable surface.

I was able to pull this piece together on a lazy Saturday morning.  I love almost instant gratification, don't you?

Here's the Snapguide so you can follow along.

Check out How to Create Mixed Media Shabby Chic Home Decor by Kathy Clement on Snapguide.

I hope this inspires you to get your mixed media goodies off the shelf and have an inky good time. And don't forget to share your All in the Family project with us on the Frilly and Funkie Blog. We love it when you play along with us!  

You'll find links to the Funkie Junkie Boutique products I used below, and there is a complete supply list within the Snapguide tutorial.

Thanks for stopping by!  Now go get your craft on!

Cheerio,

kathy
