Aprons galore....

Hi all, hope all is well with you and that you have had a good week. I have been having some fun with my leisure kit from Craftwork Cards making chipboard noticeboards in the shape of aprons. My daughter even made matching little aprons for her bedroom, lots of fun was had by all!!

Here's a notice board I made for the kitchen. I decorated the chipboard with my chosen papers. I then used a small piece of cork for the mini pin board at the top of the apron and attached a little flower to corner.


Using my distress inks, I distressed the edges of the kitchen utensils that came with this kit. I used my sparkle pens on the cupcakes and finished off with glossy accents.

 
For the little notebook, I trimmed down an unused notebook and covered the front with one of my papers. I attached some twine to the top of the pad and then stamped the word 'notes' onto the pad.


To complete this apron, I attached some hessian and ribbon to the middle part and left two straps loose at either side. I also attached some twine to the top of the apron to finish.


I made this apron with a gardening theme. It was made in the same way as the one above. Using the gardening accessories that came with the kit, I distressed the ends quite heavily in order to look like soil on the ends of the tools and vegetables.


I used plenty of glossy accents on the gardening items.


Using my stamps, I stamped the word 'garden' onto the window box which was included in the kit.



 
 
This apron is my favourite and has pride of place in my craft room!
 

I added glossy accents to the cute little scissors included in the kit as well as to the little sewing machine. I used some of my pins from my sewing kit and added them to the pocket. I found a couple of little wooden hearts in my crafty stash and added them to the corner.


Using the little cotton reels from the kit, I added some of my own sparkly thread to them and attached them to the pocket of the apron. I found an old tape measure which I trimmed down and added to my project.






That's it for now, hope you all have a good week and do join me again for some more crafting madness soon.
