Sweets for Sweethearts

An array of Sweet roses for Valentines gifts

hand painted roses on vintage metal tea pots, buckets. Sand off the paint to reveal some

metal, it's shabby!

Of of my favorite windows I painted.

After basecoating the glass with white

paint, let it dry, and scrape out a heart

shape so you have a little window to peek through.

A little 8x10 frame is great for a mini

window art. Sponge on the white background

in acrylics, and leave a space around the

edges to see through.

Vintage spoons are great for necklace

pendants. Sand the inside of the spoon with a very fine sponge sanding sheet.Wash with vinegar and soap and water. Basecoat the inside of the spoon with white acrylic paint.

Paint the roses or designs.

Seal with acrylic varnish.

The buttons are handpainted with

folk art enamels. No sealing necessary.

I cut remnants of crocheted pieces from

doilies, then glued on the buttons.

Glue on pin backs or glue right

into a spoon.

Designer Candy bar wrappers are wonderful

to give your sweetheart when there

is Chocolate inside!

Cut sheet music just a bit smaller

than the original wrapper. Paint directly

on the sheet music, or print designs

and/or quotes 

onto the paper from your computer.

Add ribbon and handwritten

notes on the paper to

personalize.

Ribbon roses for a Valentines bouquet.

Tutorial coming soon on my etsy store.

I painted on a dotted swiss ribbon

and tied on a prism which I also 

hand painted with a tiny rosebud.

Added pink chiffon ribbon and it makes

a wonderful bookmark.

I'm glad I keep pictures of creations

from a while ago, but the ideas are

still good. Hand painted Valentines card,

hand painted goblet full of ribbon roses,

bookmark, designer candy bar wrapped

chocolate!

designer wrappings. A great extra gift

for your sweetie.

I scanned sheet music then

used fonts from my computer to print

quotes onto the paper. Then

I embellished the wrapper with

a hand painted red rose. 

Wrap with red tulle ribbon and 

It's Ready to Gift.

This is hand painted directly onto

a satin scrap. Pinked on the edges.

I remove the brown wrapper, and

the silver wrapper looks nice with

the satin.

A decorated recycled cd makes

a great gift.

Vintage pearls add charm.
