Freezer Paper

Linen Wedding Organizer Envelopes with a Little Flair

7 · Jul 23, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Wedding planning… I am DEEP into the planning of my first daughter’s wedding that is coming up in a little over a month. I have taken the approach of staying as organized as possible for this monster project. Really, that’s the only way you can prepare for a wedding and not lose your mind! I found some linen organizing envelopes at Target from the Hearth and Hand line created by Joanna Gains the other day and thought they would be perfect to keep things organized for the wedding. Of course, I needed to add some labels and in true WhipperBerry fashion, they needed to look classy. I turned to DecoArt for a little help with their Stylin’ paint perfect for home or fashion accessories of all kinds!

Wedding Organization

Wedding planning is NOT for the faint of heart. So many details, so many emotions, so much stuff! It really pays to be as organized as possible. Like I said before, I found some linen envelope organizers that I thought would be perfect to keep receipts, notes, menus and the like organized. I identified 4 areas that I thought would be good to have specific folders for,

  1. Budget
  2. Travel
  3. Food
  4. Design

Budget

This is where you can keep your notes as far as your budget goes along with receipts for everything purchased and paid for.

Travel

If your family is anything like ours, not everyone lives in the same place. Many family and friends will be traveling from elsewhere and this is a great way to keep track of those notes and itineraries.

Food

Food is one of the big elements to the reception. This is where you can keep track of proposals, budget, menu items, and such.

Design

You can think of this folder as your Pinterest hardcopy. Notes for your overall design of the event, different design elements, floral ideas, invitation ideas and so much more. Keep track of those ideas here along with any other pertinent information for the overall look of the event.

Linen Organizer Wedding Labels

There are a couple of different steps to this easy project and here’s a quick snippet of my Instagram Story to show a little more about how this works.

Label Design

I designed the labels in Cricut Design Space and used my Cricut Maker to cut out the vinyl for the project. I love making stencils with leftover vinyl and then using some DecoArt paint to create all kinds of projects. I’m thrilled to find that I can do the same with fabric, canvas, and leather now as well with DecoArt Stylin’. Here are some the key benefits to DecoArt Stylin’,

  • Flexible paint specially-formulated to prevent cracking or peeling
  • Bonds to surface to create a seamless finish
  • An ideal color palette for fashion décor
  • Water-based
  • Soap and water clean-up

If you are a Cricut user (if not, I highly suggest that you should be, they go hand in hand with paint!) you can access my design in my Design Space profile.  If not, you can create your own stencils designs using other design software and use either a cutting machine or craft knife to cut your stencil out of vinyl or freezer paper.

Linen Wedding Organizer Envelope Supplies

Here are the supplies you will need for your project.

  • linen or canvas folders
  • DecoArt Stylin’ Paint
  • vinyl, stencil vinyl
  • transfer tape
  • stencil sponge brush or a makeup sponge

Instructions

Add some style to fabric or leather office supplies with @decoart Stylin' Paint | #paint #homedecor #officesupplies #wedding #weddingplanning

  1. Cut out your stencil and weed the vinyl make sure to keep the negative side of the design. That just means that you’ll need to remove the letters from the vinyl and leave the rest of your vinyl as the stencil. Be careful that you keep a good eye on the middle sections of letters and those darn dots at the top of “i”.
  2. Cover your stencil in transfer tape and remove the back of the vinyl.
  3. Carefully place the stencil onto the fabric folder and press down with a brayer or scraper tool. Fabric typically has a texture that is going to make it a little tricky to get a truly clean line but, if you press your vinyl down well, you’ll have a pretty good seal.
  4. Remove the transfer tape carefully.
  5. Place a quarter size amount of paint onto a paper plate and use your sponge to lightly dab the paint onto the surface of your organizer. Add some style to fabric or leather office supplies with @decoart Stylin' Paint | #paint #homedecor #officesupplies #wedding #weddingplanningKeep the paint LIGHT to avoid any paint leaking under the stencil. It’s better to have several rounds with light paint than to have an unsightly leak area.
  6. Cover your stenciled image until you have the coverage you would like.Add some style to fabric or leather office supplies with @decoart Stylin' Paint | #paint #homedecor #officesupplies #wedding #weddingplanning
  7. Let dry.
  8. When the paint is dry, remove the stencil and get to work on that darn wedding!

$2.00 DIY Beach Bag

0 · Jul 25, 2013 · 3 Comments

Hi Whipperberry readers!  It's Jenn from My Fabuless Life back this month to show you a super simple, super affordable little beach bag I threw together for a recent family vacation.  Literally, if you have five minutes and a five dollar bill, you can make this–you don't even need a personal cutter!  And what's extra awesome about this project is that you can use this method to "screen print" just about anything that's fabric!  
 
 

Our family recently went on vacation to the beautiful Oregon Coast and this trip meant two things for us: LOTS of time in the car (we drove from Utah to Oregon) and LOTS of time at the beach.  I always pack my 3 year old daughter a road trip bag and a brand new bag to hold all of the goodies is part of the fun.  For this trip, my $2.00 bag pulled double-duty by holding all of her stuff during the car ride and then all of our treasures and toys once we got there and were ready to spend our days on the beach.

To make your own bag you'll need:
Freezer paper
Craft paint + Fabric Medium
A cloth bag (I got mine for $1.99 at Hobby Lobby without the 40% coupon)
Iron

Find the image you want to use: for this one, I just Googled "Whale Silhouette" and found one that I liked.  Click on the image so it shows up on your screen like this (in Google, you can also click "view original image"):
 

 

 
 

Zoom in or out on the image until it's the size you want and then just lay your freezer paper right over the computer screen and trace GENTLY!  Let's not go ruining any computer screens here, since that would sort of negate this whole $2.00 project thing.  You should be tracing on the freezer paper shiny side down (pencil marks will be on the dull side).

Next, just cut out the image with an Exacto knife.  Make sure to leave plenty of room around your shape to "slop" your paint so it stays on the paper and doesn't smudge all over your fabric.  Make sense?  If not, you'll see what I mean below.
 

 
I wanted this to be sort of "kid chic" so I left the cute little face off of the whale–not to mention, it makes it that much easier to cut and paint.  Next, iron your freezer paper onto your fabric shiny side down.  Make sure to iron it down good and tight so your paint doesn't bleed underneath (I do it with my iron on the highest setting).  Also be sure to iron your bag or shirt or whatever you're using prior to painting it.  Painting on wrinkled fabric will not give you pretty results.

Next comes paint: mix the paint and medium according to the instructions on the bottle of fabric medium (which can be found with the craft paints).  I used gold paint (like I said, I was going "kid chic" here and it glitters in the sun–BONUS!) and my fabric medium ratio was 2 parts paint to 1 part medium.  This gives you a softer finish on the fabric once the paint dries.  You can do this without the medium, but your paint will be stiff and won't soften as much in the wash.  YES–you CAN wash it!!

Apply your paint (you can use a brush or a dobber), let the paint dry a little and then pull the freezer paper off and let the paint dry overnight.  DONE & DONE!!
 

This is such a fun easy way to personalize gifts.  Onesies for baby showers, book bags for kids, team t-shirts for little ones…the possibilities are really endless.  Later this week over at MFL, I'll be showing you what I filled this bag with for my little one and my favorite tips for LONG road trips with kids so make sure to stop by!

{Tutorial} DIY Freezer Paper & Crinoline Butterfly Mobile

DIY Freezer Paper & Crinoline Butterfly Mobile

I am currently in love with a number of things, a few of which are… the color white, butterflies, freezer paper and crinoline.  What is crinoline you ask?  It's a fabric that has been used for many years under skirts and dresses to give a fuller effect.  I have started using it for a couple of projects and have fallen in love with the crisp, white, rustic effect that it can add to a project.  It cuts and tears beautifully and is a dream to work with.  Enough about that… here is what you will need to make a butterfly mobile of your own.
