Katy here, and I have a fun refurbished project to show you today.
I was wandering around my local thrift store looking for treasures when I looked and saw this:
A spice rack! And instantly I knew what I wanted to use it for. No-not spices-but to hold embossing powders and glitters. Will it hold all of my collection? I am afraid not-but it sure is a fun start! (They all live in a shallow plastic container now.)
So for $2.99 I took home my treasure. And I cleaned it with clorox wipes and when it was dried-I painted a couple of coats of gesso on it. Then I picked out my wood pieces to liven up this spice rack.
I used the following pieces:
Border Swirl I (set of 2) (Large)
Daisies (5 pc set) (2 pks)
So once I placed my pieces, my biggest obstacle was deciding what the color scheme was going to be. I love the color green-so that is what color I painted it. My accents are yellow.
Here is the finished spice rack. You could see the word outline "spices" so I took light modeling paste, yellow craft paint, and the sunburst Tim Holtz stencil and stenciled over the middle area. Also, the yellow paint I used was called sunshine pearl. The pearl means it had a shine. After the green paint was dry I mixed the yellow with water to create a glaze over the green paint.
For the corners I put a little Inka Gold on them. You can see one of these things is not like the other. ;)
Here are some close ups.
Here are the daisies with pearls for centers. (I love these flowers!) 2 of this middle size come in a pack so I used a second pack to get the 3rd flower.
Here's the bottom.
Here's my spice rack all finished with the glitter and embossing powder on it. :)
Here is the before and after pictures next to each. :)
