A Stenciled Rustic Tool Box For My Vintage Garden Tool Collection
May 10, 2021
I found this old, rustic, wooden toolbox at an antique shop. It is missing a handle, but I love the rustic metal strip on each end.
I thought it would make a perfect display piece for my vintage garden tools.

This is the front view of the toolbox.
I will not be painting it, as the patina is already great.
But, I will be stenciling it with a new GARDEN TOOLS stencil from Old Sign Stencils.
As always, the summer garden stencils can be mixed with other stencils to create many more variations.
The garden tools stencil will work perfectly on my toolbox.
All pricing and shipping amounts on the website are stated in Canadian funds, and will be converted to US funds.
*Old Sign Stencils has provided me with complimentary samples. All opinions about these fabulous stencils are my own.
I taped the bottom portion of the stencil on the front side of the toolbox and taped it down with blue painter's tape. Make sure to center your stencil with a ruler for best results.
I swirled and pounced on the stencil using Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Drop Cloth.
I wiped Fusion Mineral Paint Hemp Oil Wood Finish on the sides of the toolbox and the stencils to seal and protect them.
I also wiped my vintage garden hand tools down with the Hemp Oil and a rag.
I seldom use these tools, but I like to display and collect them. I placed two old enamelware coffeepots and a galvanized pot inside the toolbox to hold the tools.
I love this new stencil!
Thanks for visiting!
