Necklace holder

Hi Lynne here

This year rather than giving Easter eggs, I decided to make some presents.

I took a house blank

I removed the hooks and hanging loops, sanded it and painted two coats of cream paint.

It was then ready to decorate. I decided to go for a Beach Hut theme.

I used the Stampendous Frantage embossing enamel for the rooves, it's fabulous and comes in a rainbow of colours. (I bought mine from Samuel Taylors)

This one I painted with Distress paint in broken china

For this one I used distress paint in scattered straw

A wood grain effect card

Kraft card

With stamping, gilding and cutting out shapes I decorated the "Beach Huts" and then put the hooks and hanging loops back on.

The finished necklace hanger

Do have a go at altering / decorating items, it's great fun and they make lovely presents.

Don't forget to check back again in a couple of hours to see more inspiration from us.

Enjoy your Easter Holiday Lynne x
