Good morning friends! I am super excited to share with you my project today. I have created a "Butterfly Queen" dress form. This Project features items from The Crafters' Palette Store. and from Shabby is Chic Boutique
This month for the Crafters Palette we were challenged to make a mono chromatic project, and I love black and white so this was a labor of love for me. It was a good time to get out my items from Shabby Is Chic Boutique to use as well.
I had so much fun with this project, I am thrilled with how it turned out. In the photo below on the left you can see how the dress form from SCB started out, it was plain white, and I used one of the gorgeous napkins, also from SCB I had , and used some Multi Matte Medium it on top of it to glue it down.
After the mod podge had dried, I got out a couple of different types of tulle, a plain white one and one from Crafters' Palette and one from my stash with some pretty white daisies on it. I used my needle and thread and did a running stitch to gather the layers of tulle around the dress form. I also added the flatback hearts to random flower centers as well, which were from SCB. I then used some of the gorgeous Black Venise Trim from SCB for contrast, and lastly, I added a lovely Seam Binding bow to finish it off.
For the wings I used a wooden butterfly I had given to me in a RAK from a friend in Australia. I have been looking for the perfect piece to use this on, and this was it! I used black paint on the first layer then some Frantage aged bronze embossing powder on top. Finally, I gave it a coat of Gilders Wax, which gave the wings a lovely shimmery coat. The final touch is a cameo from my stash which I framed in the tiny rhinestone trim from my SCB.
For the crown, I used a metal corner from my stash and using glossy accents added some of the same rhinestone trim from SCB and framed the metal piece to create the mini crown.
I placed the crown at the top of the dress form, I love how it came out! I also added a key from the key set from Shabby Is Chic Boutique, and then added rhinestones to it as well.
I just adore dress forms and this was so much fun to make!
