Mini-Frame Keyring Holders

These 2 are made from 4"x6" frames with some decoupage and hooks:

Artists Against Hunger 9

Well, Artists Against Hunger has come and gone again.  I was only able to be there Friday evening because of work.  It was a fair turnout despite the extremely cold temperatures.  I unfortunately did not make any sales but that just means that all the cool things I made for my "Functional Facelifts" project are available for purchase at my website.

Decorative Memo board

Another of my favorite facelifts, a memo board of sorts with 3 clips and 2 pegs for holding keys, notes, pics, etc:

Decorative Keyring Holder

Artists Against Hunger is quickly approaching...as in 4 days from now.  So I'm wrapping up the "Functional Facelifts" projects that are almost finished.  I already installed the ones that were done and documented Sunday afternoon.  Here's a few of the stragglers, starting with a decorative keyring holder made from a wooden plaque I got from my dad decoupaged and painted:

Accessory Organizer

This is one of my most clever "Functional Facelifts".  At least I think so anyways.  The main frame of it was actually a cast off from another project when it turned out I didn't need it for that.  I decoupaged paper on it and added hooks, pegs, a dowel, plastic canvas, and a magnet strip for the ultimate accessory organizer.

This is another of my 5"x8" woodblock facelifts.  More decoupage, paint and ribbons...It is now a decorative key and sunglasses holder:

Argyle Mini Mirror

I've been gradually finishing off handful of projects I've been working on for the upcoming Artists Against Hunger Exhibition.  The series is called "Functional Facelifts" in which I give thrifty found objects a new look and purpose.  I want to share them one by one as I complete and then document them.  So here goes...

I found this little framed mirror at the Goodwill for $1.50.  I primed it and then gave it a few healthy coats of yellow-orange paint.  I sassed up the front with a puffy paint pattern and the sides with some decoupaged argyle paper.  It's something like 3"x12" not including the frame.  I think it's totally adorable:
