My 1st Ever Guest post!!!!!

Hi Everyone!!


I am SO excited to be guest blogging here at Made for 3 today!! Isn’t Claire awesome? I think so!





My name is Paige, I am 15, and I am the girl behind Pink Lemonade (my shop) and Simply Handmade by Paige (my blog). I am homeschooled. I love Jesus, crafting, sewing, and taking pictures on my new Nikon!!


Today I am sharing my mannequin “redo” tutorial! I hope you like it!!
…………….

So, I bought this mannequin on eBay a few months ago, because I was tired of being the model for my tops, and wanted a mannequin because I thought it would give my photos a more professional look!

I got a REALLY good deal on it- only $50!!! But I thought that it looked kind of cheap, and I wanted to give it a more upscale look! I have been seeing a lot of  great mannequins on Etsy, and decided that the best way to give it a makeover would be to cover it in old book pages!!!

This is what it looked like before… VERY plain!

I bought an old book at my local thrift store for $.12, and tore the pages out…

Then I got my very best friend, Mod Podge!!!!

And started painting it on…

and slapping down book pages!!!

and more book pages…

 and more, and more until (1.5 hrs later…) you are done!!!

It was a lot of work, but for $.12 my mannequin got a beautiful makeover!

I love the vintage feel!

 Do you like it?


Thanks for having me, Claire!!


xoxo,
Paige
