Shabby vintage handmade gift giving

Do you have someone on your gift list that loves the

timeless character of shabby vintage pieces?

 

 

At Simply Christmas today, the handmade gift tutorials are all white and neutral delights for the shabby at heart.

 

How adorable are these pretty white plaster hearts by

Timewashed

Becky has a great tutorial on how to make these hearts

and it is an easy technique that could be adapted to other shapes.

 

This gorgeous vintage inspired waterless snow globe was made by

Karen at My Desert Cottage

I love those sweet little children playing in the snow!!

Karen has a step-by-step tutorial on how to make

her snow globes on her blog.

 

Want to make your own paper roses?

 

Over at The Elli Blog there is a tutorial and template for making these

stunning paper roses and if you make lots of them,

you can even make a beautiful paper rose wreath.

 

You might want to rethink tossing out those plain old empty bottles after seeing

Lucy’s ‘how to antique a bottle’ tutorial over at Craftberry Bush 

I think these altered bottles are amongst the prettiest I have seen and what a perfect gift for a shabby vintage loving friend.

Get the full tutorial by Lucy at Craftberry Bush

 

Every home can use a sweet smelling scented room spray.

This super easy recipe for scented room spray can be found here on my blog.
