Hi everyone, Sandee here with a little home decor item today to share today. It's a small vanity tissue holder that has been mine since I was a little girl. It was a tad dented so I covered the blemish up with a flower and a sentiment and now I am loving it all over again.
It was very easy to do because I had the best glue doing all the work for me! I used my Helmars' 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to adhere the leaves and the flower to the metal base. It holds so fast that I could keep working on it as it dried.
My next step was adding a flexuous banner with the sentiment Bless you. I wanted to make sure that the wave in the banner remains firm, so a dollop of Helmars' Liquid Scrap Dots assures that it stays rippled. This part does take a little more curing time, but the effect is so worth the extra waiting time.
So there you have it, a super easy little remake of an old treasured object.
Did you know that virtually every country around the globe has its own way of wishing sneezers well? Hindus say, "Live!" or "Live well! In Russia they respond with "bud zdorov" ("be healthy") and in China, he or she will hear "bai sui," which means, "may you live 100 years." And of course most know the German "Gesundheit" for (good health).
Sneeze less, craft more!

Prima leaves, Maya Road flower and Ranger Liquid Pearls
What a sweet little tissue box.. I love how you revamped a tiny treasure..
