Now, for today's project: an altered umbrella stand! Michael's had this awesome sale last week and I picked up a metal container I've been eying for a LONG time. With three kids, our entry always seems to be a mess, and kid umbrellas are one of the problems. Of course our living/dining room is right at the front of the house, with a fancy paint job & all, so I needed the container to match the color scheme, while still being a little playful. Hello, vinyl! This is what I came up with:
I used my Make The Cut software for this, and my SVGs are from Lettering Delights. The umbrella is from the Weather Girl set, and the border is from Basic Borders. As luck would have it, Lettering Delights is having a home decor contest right now too, so I made sure to upload this to the gallery there! They always have some kind of free files available, including printables, so anyone can enter. Even if you don't use MTC or SCAL, the printables and fonts are super easy to use to create awesome projects! Make sure you head over to LD, and you can get lots of free items just for creating an account.
Don't forget to come back starting Sunday to find out the cool prizes you could win next week!
Love your umbrella stand. Whimsical, yet sophisticated. Great Job. And, very kid friendly, too.
