MDF Craft Storage Holder.

Hi there Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Wow another beautiful day today, wall to wall blue skies and sunshine.   Hubby and I have been in the garden working all day.   He has rotavated our veg plot with our mini tractor and has planted some potatoes today too, maybe a little late but the ground here has been so cold and very wet, the seed  potatoes would probably have rotted in the ground, so here's hoping, fingers crossed that they will be ok now.

Tonight I would like to share an MDF craft storage holder which was made for Imagination Craft's latest show at the end of April on the Hochanda TV Channel.   I decided to decorate this holder, using Imaginations new Mixed Media Spray Inks and shaving foam and the marbling technique.


   
(1)   Inside of holder painted with the Cyclone MDF paint.

(2)   Outside parts painted with the Lagoon MDF paint.

(3)   Shaving  foam sprayed into an oblong  plastic container  and Mixed Media Spray Inks, sprayed onto
        the foam,  moving the colours around with a cocktail stick.

   
(4)   Lay the individual MDF pieces on top of the coloured foam for a few seconds, then remove.    Remove
        the excess foam from the mdf, using a spatula.

     
(5)   Paint the narrow edges around the base of the holder with the Fuchsia Spray Ink, using a paintbrush.  

(6)   Glue a blue flower to each corner of the holder and glue  a small white button to each flower centre.

   
   
That's all from me tonight folks.   I will be back again soon with another creation.   Have a good week.

                                                                Love and rainbows,

                                                            Crafty Hugs   Jennifer xx.

  1. I think this is a fab combination of colours Jennifer, did you prime the MDF first? if you don't mind me asking. Love your work, thanks for sharing it with us xx

    1. Hi there Alison, so pleased you like it, thanks for your lovely comment and of course I don't mind you asking, happy to answer your question. I didn't prime the MDF, as the cyclone is quite a dark colour and covers very well. The lagoon is a paler colour so I gave those parts two coats. (These paints look much darker when you first apply them, then they dry lighter.) I then marbled with the new Mixed Media Spray paints, using the shaving foam. Hugs Jennifer xx.
