Creating Small Vignettes with Items You Already Have
Creating Small Vignettes with Items You Already Have
I love creating vignettes and I find that creating small ones is so much fun. You can use them anywhere and there are so many things you can use to add to them.
I have many vignettes around my house, actually I think they are everywhere, at least that's what hubby says.
Lets start with the dining room. I found this pewter pitcher when I was at a church sale in PA in June. I also found the small rolling pin that is in there. I also placed a wooden and a wooden buckle, some flowers and a dolly. I must admit I have a weakness for wooden things. You will see as we go on.
This vignette is in the hallway between two bedrooms. This one has a sock darner, some dollies, a cookie cutter and two other wooden pieces. I might have to change this one a little since there is too many wooden things. You could add small picture frames as well. I find that I just look through my stuff and use what I have.
This colander is in the bathroom. As you can tell I have lots of dollies too, This one also has wooden spoons and there is a bundle of sticks. You can use what ever works for you.
This one is in a bedroom. I have a small enamel tray with a milk jar of marbles, some wooden pieces and a crocheted small purse. I also love to use old books as risers.
Small baskets are another great tool to use for vignettes. This one has a pair of gloves, some lace, a plate and some wooden items.
This container is a silver lid to some casserole. I turned it over and filled it with dollies, thread spools, some wooden napkin holders, a wooden paddle and a tin scoop.
This one is a little creamer that I added a dolly and a brass key. That little chicken is adorable.
For this one I used a gravy boat. It has lots of grazing on it. Dollies, wooden pieces, a couple of white candles and two keys.
This little dish was 50 cents and it was silver so I spray painted it white. As you can tell, more dollies and wooden things. I even added a wooden knob. It is endless of all the items you can use.
This last one here, is a small pitcher that I filled with wooden thread spindles. and a wooden mallet.
As you can see, there are so many things you can use for creating small vignettes. Candles, small frames, dollies, vintage gloves, wooden spoons, any wooden pieces, crocheted pieces. Containers like small baskets, creamers, bowls, lids, trays sugar bowls.
Look around your house, you might be surprised at what you already have. If you are looking for items, check thrift stores for sugar bowls without lids, decorative pieces with lids missing. You can often find these are very inexpensive. then go wild.
I usually just go t my stash and find all sorts of things. Sometimes too much - therefore I create too many.
I also have some larger vignettes like this one. You can read about this one here.
