$9 Ross Cat Picture → Bedazzled, Transferred & Totally Transformed!

An $8.99 cat picture from Ross gets a complete makeover — new florals on the chair using IOD transfers, black and white checks on the teacup with a paint pen, gold leaf accents, bedazzled glasses and necklace with crystal AB rhinestones, and hand-painted harlequin diamonds on the crown molding. This quick project takes a cute thrift store find and turns it into something that looks like a custom art piece. You'll see how to use Iron Orchid Designs transfers (the Belgravia collection) to add florals that look completely hand-painted, how to paint the cat's fur back over the transferred florals so everything blends seamlessly, and how to add a harlequin diamond border using a stencil as a template with a pencil trace and a paint pen. The bedazzling is all in the details — 3mm Crystal AB rhinestones on the cat's glasses, 4mm Crystal AB glass rhinestones following the original necklace design, rhinestone trim for the collar, and bronze 4mm rhinestones between each harlequin diamond. Everything is applied with B7000 glue and a wax picker pencil. If you've ever walked past a picture at Ross, Marshalls, or a thrift store and thought "that's cute, but..." — this is what "but" looks like when you take it home and make it yours. ──────────────── ✦ SUPPLIES USED The Picture: Cat picture — Ross, $8.99 Transfers: Iron Orchid Designs (IOD) — Belgravia transfer (teacups and florals) — available at vintageretailtherapy.com (use code SISTERHOOD for a discount) Paint & Pens: White base coat (for painting out the crown molding area before stenciling diamonds) Black paint (for painting cat fur back over the transferred florals) BETEM paint pen (for black and white checks on the teacup + filling in harlequin diamonds; Hobby Lobby) Firm Fusion gold leaf paint (for gold accents on the chair; available on Amazon) Rhinestones (BeadsLand on Amazon): 3mm Crystal AB rhinestones (for the cat's glasses) 4mm Crystal AB glass rhinestones (for the necklace detail) 4mm Bronze rhinestones (between each harlequin diamond) Rhinestone trim (Amazon — for the larger collar area; search "rhinestone trim" for options) Tools & Adhesives: B7000 glue (for all rhinestone application) Wax picker pencil (sharpen with a regular pencil sharpener; stays perfectly pointed) Transfer stick (included with IOD transfers, or use your finger) Small diamond stencil (Temu or Amazon — used as a pencil template, not with paint) Pencil (for tracing harlequin pattern before painting with the paint pen) ──────────────── ✨ SISTERHOOD MEMBERSHIP Want more projects like this?
