My First Garden Junk Project of 2016!
April 03, 2016
I love it when my junk finds do double duty inside AND outside!
Like this old weathered window frame with attached sill. It was a perfect Christmas mantel anchor last December!
But today it has become junk garden decor with the addition of the galvanized tin box (found at the thrift shop). I attached it with screws to the to the window's sill. I also shortened the sill a bit to fit in the space next to the covered patio entrance door.
I added a Park Designs "Burlap" napkin cut in half, stenciled with black acrylic craft paint, and attached with a staple gun to the inside of the window frame. I also used Darice 1" alphabet stencils. Make sure your stencil brush is very dry when stenciling on fabrics.
Since it is waaaaaayyyyyy to early to plant in northern Minnesota, I am staging my new window box with faux plants! I am getting my money's worth from this $10 window frame purchase.
Update:
My window box planted with verbenas.
After the old curtains became too faded out, I stenciled new curtains HERE.
Sharing is caring
