A Flea Market Dress Form Find

Hello Everyone!  It’s hard to believe that it’s been a week since my last post.  We’ve been busy this past week working in the yard, weeding, trimming trees, sewing grass seed…all the fun stuff that’s not really blog worthy.  We’ve also been helping my son and daughter-in-law with the re-model of their power room.     

Today, I did manage to sneak in a craft that I’ve been wanting to do.  A  few weeks ago, I purchased this pitiful decoupage dress form from a local flea market in our area knowing that I would transform it.

I recovered the dress form with scrapbook paper.  I distressed the paper with distressed ink and Mod Podged it on the dress form.  I also added a finial on top.  It was missing one on top and I couldn’t believe that I had one that actually fit.

I used a candle holder for a new base since the original base was really wobbly.

I also added a string of faux pearls to it.  For now, I have it sitting in my daughter’s room.

I can’t wait for her to see it!  She’s suppose to be coming home next weekend for a visit.

She loves when I add things to her room.  

As always, thanks for stopping by and your lovely comments.
