As many of you know,,, I love to 're-create' stuff from stuff...
I recently came across a milking stool. I doubt it is vintage, tho' it might be from the 1970's.... or?

Anyhoooo, at $1.99 from one of my favorite haunts, I grabbed it & brought it home.
A little scrap of fabric, some down loaded pictures and a glob of ModPodge and Voila'
Instant, well almost, cute stool to use in one of my trailers.
I still need to put a couple layers of polyurathene and a few red rhinestones & Uber Voila'


Happy Trails....

Too cool Grace!
That doesn't look like any milking stool I ever used! It's a pretty fancy one!

lol! awe come on CeeJay,,, ya know ya wanna do some fabric decoupaging! lol!

Did you ever do Drape craft?... where you take fabric, dip it in a decoupage type of goop, drape it over an object, like a balloon. bowl or other object covered w/saran warp... then let it dry & Voila! instant bowl or what ever,,, well just think,,, you could make mini aprons, and dip them, shape them and let them stiffen... how cute would that be! Stiffy Mini Aprons for decoration... lol!

Yup, Gracie I have done that kind of stuff, but it's been a while. Ya' never know though what I'll be up to next!!
Been busy papercrafting . . . and gotta make aprons (not the "stiffy mini" kind . .they gotta fit people).
I'm always doing something!

Thanks for sharing your decoupage project. I have a small table that is kind of blah but would be really cute if I jazzed it up a bit. Hmmmm... The possibilities are endless.

Let me tell that ya' need to be careful about . .

. . . putting your can of spray Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer in the bathroom (while unloading a bunch of this 'n' that groceries from the bag) in the bathroom close to the hairspray!!

No, I didn't . . . but it was a close call! :)
