Glass Angel Handmade Repurposed Upcycled Restyled Home Decor

Glass Angel Handmade Repurposed Upcycled Restyled DIY Home Decor at LilacsNDreams. Welcome everyone!

I haven’t gotten as far as I wanted to with my order of glass angels, but I have gotten them started. I first put the glass bases through the dishwasher to clean them well. After they were cleaned, I pulled them from the dishwasher, and then I had them sitting out for about a couple days before I attempted anything with them. 

I was worried thinking I didn’t have the glass ornaments I wanted to use for their heads. With moving I wasn’t catching up to my supplies fast enough. I was starting to think I might have to use some light bulbs for their heads instead. I was fortunate enough, and happy to have found them before I was ready to assemble, and glue things. 

I have different ribbons of purple coloring sitting out to choose for their wings, and to add with some embellishments I will use. I’m thinking of twisting silver pipe cleaner with the purple to make their halos. I don’t want all 3 angels to be completely identical. I will alter them slightly so that each one is unique for each person that will be receiving them. 

Now that the weekend is over I should be home a little more to spend time working with these to complete them. I’m getting anxious to work with them, and get them completed for their new homes. 

As everyone knows we have been moving, and taking our time with it too. We hadn’t decided completely what we were going to do with our home we are moving from. It’s a small fixer upper that we have done some work with. As of right now we have decided to clean it up, get things in order that are there, and at this time we are going to keep it. We discussed about me using it as my crafting, selling, and office area. It’s about 15 minutes from our other home. So, I wouldn’t really be going out of my way going there different times during the week to work on things. When I am done for the day I can leave it till I go back. Kind of like work stays at work, and home is home. In the spring we will look at things again, weigh in on how the housing market is doing then, and maybe determine more of what we want to do with it.

Thank You to all who visited with LilacsNDreams today. Take care, and be safe everyone till the next visit. Toodles . . . . . .

Handmade Glass Angel Repurposed Restyled Home Decor with LilacsNDreams. Welcome everyone!

I thought I would share a little bit with you my order I am preparing for 3 glass angels ordered. I had sold one which caught the interest for a customer to inquire if I had more. It’s been a little hectic with moving, not feeling well with a head cold, and then finding some of my crafting inventory to use.

Below you will see pictures of some of the supplies I will be using to create these glass angels. For the base I use light fixture covers from like ceiling fans. When I started I would use a light bulb for the angel head, and since that time have changed to using glass ornaments for the head. I make the wings from wired ribbon. I use pipe cleaners for the halos, and then any embellishments used to add a little more character around the neckline. Maybe another thin ribbon, a yarn, buttons, little mini bows, jeweled pieces found, and so on. 

The customer has shared with me how purple is liked, and so I will be making purple wings with a purple halo for the angels. I love purple myself so this is just a little bit more fun for me to do. I love the glass bases I found for the angel bodies. Just a slight different from what I normally find to use. I put them through the dishwasher to thoroughly clean for the creation process. As always I am anxious to see the completed products. When I have them done I will make sure to share pictures here for you to see. 

Thanks so much for visiting, and sharing some time with LilacsNDreams! Take care, be safe, and see you again soon. Toodles . . . . . . . .

Glass Angel Repurposed Restyled Handmade DIY Home Decor with LilacsNDreams. Welcome Everyone who visits today!

I’m pretty sure I have repeated sharing the Glass Angel made by LilacsNDreams, and the sale of it happening too. Well, I am happy to say with me sharing this I have had someone ask me if I had anymore like this one in the green that I sold. Unfortunately, not completely like that one…just the other 2 pictured with it were still available. I explained us moving, and so on. 

Needless to say moving has not been completed fully yet. One advantage is we are not closing on home we were in, still making payments, and are considering selling it once everything is fully out of there. We of course will go through to clean, and vacuum the place thoroughly too. With the new home I had 2 places designated for my crafting supplies, and unfortunately that is not working out. So, I have to consider another alternative which is becoming harder for certain reasons. 

 

Couch, loveseat, and 2 chairs have been delivered to the new house. Air ducts have been thoroughly cleaned, and turns out it was badly needed too. Couple holes were found that got filled, and a valve was turned off which is now back on. The airflow is much better than before. 

Our son had gotten a bad head cold while moving, and did good getting over it too. Today we picked up our new TV. Got it home, and we found a fault with it. The drive is about 1 1/2 hours for us one way. Son decided lets do it, and we took the TV back to Best Buy. We got lucky! They had another one in stock that we could bring home. It’s on its stand for now, is much bigger, and an investment that was well made. In about 1 1/2 weeks our last item should be delivered which is our new counter height table, and chairs. All of this is great so far.

Then…I got sick with head cold. Hubby came home for weekend to help get appliances here, and washer and dryer too. Things are coming along in between everyone’s work schedule. I still have the ending results of the head cold, cough, congestion, etc. 

Upon checking my emails I have a notice from the person who inquired about the glass angel I had sold. She’d really like to have 1 for her, and 1 for her sister, they like purple, and make it 3 they would like to have done. Again, there is no rush on this order. So, now I need to find my ribbon, embellishments, and etc I use for these to be made. Locate the glass bodies, and if I don’t have anymore I’ll have to go in search for more. 

Needless to say I haven’t applied myself fully like I should with crafting, and selling online. I’ve been fighting with forces that think it’s a waste of time, and money that I do this. I haven’t had the support for me doing this which is disheartening, and lonely at times too. So, when I sold the angel I was happy. I was even happier with the event leading up to the request for 3 glass angels to be made too.

So, that is how my week has been for me. I hope everyone is having good things happen for you, accomplishing things you desire to do, and things have been great for many of you. I appreciate you visiting with LilacsNDreams today. Stop on by anytime. Take care everyone, and be safe! Toodles . . . . .

Glass Angel Repurposed Upcycled Restyled Recreated Handmade DIY Home Decor with LilacsNDreams. Welcome to all, and happy to see you dropping by.

Below you see a picture of some Glass Angels that I repurposed upcycled restyled handmade DIY home decor I recreated. The angel in the green SOLD yesterday with my shop at Etsy. I’ve also had an inquiry if I will be making more of the angels too. I’m happy I sold one, and pleased a question was asked about more being made too. Unfortunately we are moving now into another house bought. I have a designated area for my crafting right now, and believe me I am anxious to be crafting again. Just the timing of everything, right? I have a new counter height table ordered, and cannot wait for that delivery to give me more of a working area too. I’m thankful for this sale, and am hoping soon I can be doing things again. 

Do you have something you prefer to craft more than other things you’ve created? There is so much out there to be seen, so many ideas, and many inspirations for crafting too. I have supplies that have accumulated for things I want to do. Us moving, and me getting organized cannot happen fast enough for me right now. So, until then I will keep posting here the best I can, and try to keep everyone updated. 

We took 2 loads to the house today. Pretty much the storage upstairs here is cleared out. It mostly consisted of christmas, Halloween, and tubs of pictures I am hoping to scrapbook with. Plans, many ideas, and can’t get to it fast enough.

I am happy to have you visiting with me today, and hope to see you again soon. Till then take care, have fun with all you do, and be safe everyone. Thank You for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Toodles . . . . .

 

Glass Angel Vintage Wood Blocks Candy Cane Wreath Handmade Repurposed

Glass Angel Vintage Wood Blocks Candy Cane Wreath DIY Handmade Repurposed Holiday Home Decor Christmas

Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Below you will see pictures to projects that I have completed fully today. Yes, I did stay busy today, and was determined to get some things done. I need to make room to craft more projects sitting, and looking at me. I would glue a little, and while that was sitting and bonding I would do other household things. You know the usual with laundry, bedding, sweeping/swifting the floors with everything that collects here. 

This Candy Cane Wreath I showed you last week, and I’m sorry I haven’t posted it yet at my Shoppe with Etsy like I wanted too. This is the completed look with the ribbon hanger I was able to get measured out, and attached to it today. 

This is another project I had started. I’ve had the vintage wooden blocks glued together showing the word sewing. Today I completed it by attaching different little embellishments to it like straight pins, needle, safety pins, spools of vintage thread, a clothespin, and some buttons too. 

Here is the glass Angel I have completed. I used a fan light glass fixture, a glass ornament, some yarn for her hair, pipe cleaner for her halo and neckline, and I added a creme colored flower with a clear stone in the center of it for her neckline. This is the first time I have added yarn for hair. Not sure if I’m content with it yet. I maybe should have made it longer, used another method, etc. I did use a fine point black permanent marker to make her some eyes, and a mouth by hand. This is my first like this, and next time I will do a little different I think.

So, that has been my day today. I stayed busy, and finally accomplished a few things. Now to get this listed with my Shoppe at Etsy I have appointments on Monday. We’ll see how tired I am Monday night. Crossing my fingers I get that done. I’m anxious to work on some other craft goodies I have supplies sitting here to use for those. I’m excited, and will share with everyone as I progress. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and visiting with LilacsNDreams! Feel free to stop on by anytime! Take care till the next time we gather everyone. Toodles . . . .
