Easy Easter Or Year Round Wall Decor From Thrift Shop Piece
March 14, 2015
I am not sure of the original use for this board. I purchased it at the thrift shop for 59 cents. It has a shiny polyurethane coating so I don't think it was a cutting board. It also had a leather string.
This will be my first project in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Duck Egg Blue". I painted the board with two coats.
I purchased this fluted zinc "Norah" vase at a local floral shop. It was only $3.50. I love the rustic finish.
I screwed the metal can onto my board.
Then I wet distressed my duck egg blue paint with a paper towel and a Dawn scrubber. When it was dry I applied clear wax with a wax brush.
Then I hung my project on the wall and proceeded to decorate it. First for Easter, with pink floral buds, a vintage rabbit cookie cutter and a brown tag that I stamped with a bunny silhouette. The tag is tied on through the hole with jute.
And after Easter, if you want to use the holder year round, you can add a pot of herbs and a stamped "HERB" tag.
Easy, cheap and fun decorating with thrift shop finds!

ReplyDeleteScarceness - love this project. I agree that it must have started out as a cutting board but strange that it was so finished. Love what you did with it.

What a fun idea. Love this piece.
ReplyDeleteI love it just seen one at the GW and I bet its gone with my luck
ReplyDeleteReally cute Carlene ... I like the one with the rabbit cookie cutter ... it carries out the 'tin' theme. That fluted metal can is so unusual. Love it all.

So cute! Love the blue paint and the fluted tin. The little bunny cookie cutter is adorable. I think it was a ceiling fan blade? Just a guess......So creative! xo Karen
