Bathroom Decor Redo

March 1st, time for a new anything crafty goes challenge at

Love To Craft ! 

The above projects are some items I redid for a recent

"remodel" of our bathroom. I changed colors of the 

towels, drapes, shower curtain and rug so I 

wanted to change the colors on these items, too.

No sense in buying new knick knacks when these

were still perfectly fine ;) 

The wood candle pedestal was bought from a craft

booth many years ago and the 8" square box frame

was a clearance item after Valentine's Day

from Target, bought about a dozen years ago. 

The frame originally had a large red heart

made of flowers in it (click here to see what I did with that).

I bought the frame for the purpose of ripping out the heart and

reusing the frame in the bathroom. I glued a scrap of denim

in it then hot glued dried florals and ribbon on it. 

It worked with the once navy blue/denim bathroom.

To redo it, I simply ripped it all apart then taped in an image

I found (and altered) that was printed onto card stock.

(Original artist Deb Strain)

I printed it out three times then cut out a couple parts of the bath tub,

glued to chipboard then glued on top of the base image

to create some dimension.  I also added glitter to the bubbles ! 

I happen to have a vintage pedestal tub in the bathroom,

so this image was perfect !

As for the candle pedestal redo:

I made a pattern by rubbing my fingers along the edges

of the wood star cutout on light weight paper.

I then cut the star out with scissors

and marked the front side.

I had to flip the pattern over the trace it

so there would be no lines on the front

of the card stock piece when I cut it out. 

Checking the pattern, looks good

TIP: If you are going to corrugate something,

it will "shrink"! I thought about this as I was making it,

wondering how much the size or shape would be altered. 

Yep, too much so I had to redo it the way it should have been 

done in the first place. Duh !

This time I traced onto the already corrugated card stock. 

pattern flipped over, then carefully cut it out.

That did the trick ! 

Lots of double stick tape on the back of the star shape.

Adhered in place over the cut out wood shape.

I then added die cut words from black card stock. 

Yes, I would have rather had real tin,

and no, I don't think the card stock on either project

will last very long in a humid bathroom.

They will look cute for a while,

then when they do fall apart, 

I get to come up with another idea ;) 

Thanks for looking !
