Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Western Boho Bottle

 

Did you see the pretty rice papered bottle I did recently? I did another one at the same time but this one was done with paint, transfers and stencils. I recently found out via DNA that I am Metis. I chose colors and designs to honor my western and Metis heritage.

These 2 glass rum bottles had a great shape to create my visions on.


The secret to being sure everything sticks to glass is Dixie Belle Slick Stick. Two coats left to dry for 24 hours is what you need.


Mirage Dixie Belle silk mineral paint was applied next. I LOVE this color. I have used it on these other projects.


On the cork top I filled the design with white Dixie Belle mud before painting with the teal mirage paint. When dry it was sanded smooth and rounded.

Three coats of this gorgeous color were painted on all sides.


Now the bottle was ready to add pizzazz.

Western boho Dixie Belle silk screen stencils and boho soul Dixie Belle transfers were chosen.


Here is one of the western boho stencils pressed in place on one side of the bottle. Wedding belle Dixie Belle Metallic Moonshine paint was brushed over the stencil.


Lift off the stencil to reveal the pretty design.


Another stencil from the collection was done on the other side in the same way as above. The cork also had a stencil applied.


Wedding belle Metallic Moonshine paint is so lovely. It was also dry brushed on the edges of the bottle to create highlights and dimension.


 Now to add the boho soul transfers. Position and burnish in place.


Flip over and add another to the other side too.


To seal the transfers to the bottle I used Dixie Belle satin clear coat applied with a Dixie Belle premium chip brush.


The last step was to further the dimension by lightly brushing on black Dixie Belle's best dang wax with a dedicated premium chip brush.
