Welcome by today, friends. I'm grateful that you've stopped by as I share this sweet little paper mache house that I painted with cream paint, covered in vintage sheet music and glitter-covered vintage buttons and trimmed with several FABULOUS products from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The first trim I added was the sweet Debra Natural Crochet Lace that I ran all the way around the top of the house base and also at the top of the door frame. On each of the peaks on the front of the house, I added a Trellis Rose from the Trellis Roses Mixed Pinks Collection.
All along the path outside this sweet little house as well around the window, I hot glued more glittered buttons, a few Silver Rhinestones (currently out of stock, but there are other similar rhinestones in stock), some 11mm White Heart-Shaped Flatback Imitation Pearl Beads, and several pink, ivory and blue Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms. They all look so sweet along the garden path.
On the side of the roof, I added a big bow using lengths of both Cream Seam Binding, Pink Aster Seam Binding and Solid Natural Baker's Twine. There's just something SO soft and lovely about Seam Binding bows, and Really Reasonable Ribbon offers you 43 colors at just $1.50 for a 5-yard length. You will never regret buying Seam Binding....it's GORGEOUS!!
I love how easy it was to decorate my paper mache house using simple supplies to cover it, and then decorating it with my Really Reasonable Ribbon trims, flowers, and Embellishments. I love how it turned out, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

Hi Karen, thank you for your sweet comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI buy cheese cloth at different places such as Home Depot, Target and Joann's. I randomly sprayed some dylusions ink spray in bubblegum pink onto a piece of cheese cloth, then just twisted it around to create a triple bow and tied it with a piece of lace ribbon that was also died with that same spray ink.
I had that piece just laying around and I finally got a purpose for it :) I like the way it turned out.
Have a great day!
