Clearance Aisle Treasures with Tammy Tutterow

One of my favorite places to find things to alter is on the clearance aisle at Michaels and Hobby Lobby. I find the best decor stuff there super cheap. The trade off is that it is usually in pretty rough shape, but since I am going to reface it, it works out just fine for me!



When I find really good things super cheap I usually buy them all, like this fun wooden hinged case. I found three of them, all in various states of disrepair for only a couple of dollars each!



By adding paper from the Maya collection (Polka, Stripe, and Floral) along with some ribbon, Glitzers, Teeny Alpha Stickers, and a Journaling Sticker, this little box has new life!





For a fun flower, I punched four flowers from paper (Floral) and shaped them with a stylus and foam pad to give them shape. I then layered and adhered two together. I added a brad to the center that I coated with Stickles and topped with a single stone from a Frosting strip. I added two leaves cut from paper (Stripe).



I to make a set, I re-faced a pink flower shaped frame that I also found on clearance. When decorating pre-made frames, it makes super fast work to select a pre-painted frame that is a coordinating color to your pattern paper.



I added flowers along with a Titles sticker (matted onto paper) and a rub-on to finish the frame.



When finished, the set looks very different than they did on the clearance aisle! Both are now ready to adorn a pretty pink princess room with Glitz style!
