Hi guys!! I have a great junker post today. I little out of the box thinkin' too!!
So let's get started~ take it away.....
I started with these~
I bought the green one at the flea market for a buck. Got it home and hubby tells me he can get brand new ones at the lumber yard, for $2. So I bought some new ones.....
I painted over the orange branding area with beige acrylic paint. I doesn't matter if the paint is a shade off because you won't even notice:):):) Just didn't want to take the chance of the bright orange showing through my, delicate green material.
I bought this pile of "fabulous" at a resale / antique store. I think it was $3. I loved the soft flower print material. It had me at green! The material was not straight, in fact it looked torn ( even better, right).
I gathered the material and glued it on with Helmar's All Purpose glue. Then I added the antique trim (that is stunning, BTW). As you can see the Home-Depot is covered up with material. I used stamps by Dyan Reaveley ( love the Ivy) and some masks by JBS. I used some mists and inks also. You would normally think that this would be good for me to wear, when I teach~put all my goodies in there, I agree but............................................
I like it on the back of my chair, holding more stuff, that is crowding my work area.
So this took me about an hour and 30 minutes to make this. I think $2 is worthy of a
post!!!
Would love for you to pop over on the JBS Inspiration Blog and take a look at this months projects:):)~I'll do it for you:)
