PRO FLIP TIPS for Upcyclers!

PRO FLIP TIPS for Upcyclers!

I started a group!

Speaking from personal experience, when you start out as a newbie in this industry, there is huge wealth of knowledge right there at your fingertips, in the fabulousness that is the World Wide Web... however, sometimes it's conflicting, sometimes you can't find the specific knowledge you're looking for, sometimes just looking is exhausting! So I wanted to create a space where you can find that exact titbit of advice you're looking for, without having to trawl through multiple groups, sites, videos etc.

Upcycling shouldn't be hard, it should be enjoyable. Many of us come to it to express ourselves through creativity, many want a business that will support them spend more time with their family and many are trying to find an outlet to aid their mental health. One place that supports that journey, with all the info you need and a community to help you anytime you need it along the way, that's what Pro Flip Tips is all about.

So, if you'd like to join the group, you can do so here 

https://m.facebook.com/groups/profliptips/

You'll find regular tips, tricks and hacks, all designed to make your Upcycling life that little bit easier! And a hub for advice and acceptance that we all had to start somewhere! Plus every day provides a new opportunity for learning.

MINT by Michelle, Decoupage Papers extraordinaire!

MINT by Michelle, Decoupage Papers extraordinaire!

If you’re a furniture upcycler and love decoupage, these papers are for you! MINT decoupage papers are all designed especially with furniture art and refurbishment in mind.

MINT was created by Michelle (who is self-described as a fanatical furniture revamper!) in 2016. Michelle loves furniture, fabric and colour, in that order, and was driven to create beauty of her own, in this range of functional and accessible art.

The optimum paper size, gsm and print have all been painstakingly curated personally by Michelle and is a culmination of years of working with decoupage papers, and refurbishing furniture with individuality, style and artistic scope in mind. They are happily made and manufactured in beautiful Victoria, Australia.

The range covers many genres, from Renaissance Art to Impressionism to Surrealism, there’s something for everyone!

And there are now six designs available as reverse images: Geisha, Madam La Fevre, Sepia Horses, Study in Black & Green, White Swan, and Young Girl Reading so you can have great fun with mirror-imaging if you wish!

Last but by no means least, do not forget to check out the MINT by Michelle/Grace on Design ‘Artists First’ Transfer Collab whilst you’re here… as soon as I saw them, I HAD to stock them - just beautiful!
