Thrifted Boxes Receive A Spring Makeover
February 17, 2022
This little wooden box was a Goodwill find at Christmas time. The little snowmen were hand painted.
Primitive country is just not my style anymore, but it sure was at one time!

This taller box with a paper label was also a thrift shop find.
I hand sanded the hand painted sides on the snowman box to make them smooth, and peeled the paper label off of the other one.
Then, after cleaning the boxes, I brushed two coats of Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Drop Cloth onto both boxes.
I chose my Spring Dollar Tree Rub on Transfer to decorate the boxes. The transfers are now $1.25 each.
I used a flat stick to rub the transfer down on the front of the larger box.
I slowly pulled up the clear top sheet to remove it, just in case I needed to rub parts of the transfer still attached to the clear sheet down again.
I folded the transfer around the front corner of the box, and rubbed the balance of the transfer onto the side of the box.
Here is the Spring transfer on my taller box.
This is the side view. The bottom part of the transfer was left on the clear sheet.
I actually had another Spring Dollar Tree Transfer that I applied to shorter box. I used the bottom part on this box.
I waxed both boxes with Dixie Belle's Best Dang Wax in Clear.
I added a jute string handle to the shorter box.
I tucked a couple faux spring plants in the boxes.
Thrift shops generally have little boxes like these in inventory,
And Dollar Tree has rub on transfers in stock now too!
Make an easy Spring project!
Pin for later!
Thanks for visiting.
