Antiqued Watering Can


 I recently purchased a lovely old watering can and wanted to personalize it.


 It was actually quite nice as it was but I thought it might be more"me" if
I added a French floral label.


 I printed a Graphics Fairy label
 on transfer paper, taped it on the watering can

 and ironed it on.


The effect is very subtle...just what I was after.



I think I may have to do something like this to my larger watering can!

    Just the right amount of colour and pattern - it looks sun-faded.
