This little table was my best thrift shop find last week. It's not an antique. It has a tag, "made in China", on the bottom, but it is all wood.
I think I could use a winter/Christmas table!
I used Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Caviar
(a very rich black) to paint my side table.
The Dixie Belle Paint company's website has a lot of great information on how to use it's products. I have referred to it many times.

I used the Zibra PB100LZS Grip-n-Glide 1-Inch Square Paint Brush
for the very first time today.
It made painting the legs a breeze, and it leaves almost NO brush marks.

After I had brushed on two coats of Dixie Belle Paint in Caviar, I lightly sanded the edges with 220 grit sandpaper.
This paper snowflake stencil was the one I used a couple weeks ago on my rustic fence board winter wall hooks project.
The paper snowflake stencil is part of the FolkArt Holiday Value Stencil Pack
that I have used on several projects in the past.

I sealed the stencils and brought out the rich hue of Caviar, using Dixie Belle Paint Best Dang Wax in Clear
. I applied it with a clean, lint free rag.
I think it's adorable!

The table is perfect for tabletop trees or maybe even a poinsettia.
The snowflake theme can be carried on throughout the winter, especially here in Minnesota.
*Dixie Belle Paint Company provided me with complimentary paint samples.
All opinions about these fabulous paints are my own.
I hope you can find a little table at the thrift shop to make your own snowflake table.
Now for the framed sign...
I made the "Warm & Cozy" framed sign on buffalo check flannel using this thrift shop frame.
I was going to stencil a sign directly on this double glass floating frame, but then got the flannel sign idea. (I will still be able to stencil on the glass for a future project.)
My red and black buffalo check fabric is from Joann Fabrics. I traced around the glass onto HeatnBond Lite Iron-On Adhesive
. I then ironed the heat and bond onto my flannel fabric, and cut out the rectangle.
I like to use Heat N Bond to add some body to my fabric, and it takes out ALL of the wrinkles. I didn't even remove the backing. I just stuck it in the frame.
I am a perfectionist but I did NOT get the flannel lined up perfectly before I ironed it onto my fabric. I thought about redoing it, but I am so busy right now!

My stencil is a new Folkart paper stencil pack called "Sign Making". It is only available at Plaid's website.
I stenciled the flannel with Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain, and I painted my frame in black.
I have both pieces of glass behind my flannel fabric for the photos, as the glass adds too much glare.
I like this sign, but wish I had gotten the fabric straight!
