Repurposed Thrift Store Plates and Candlesticks

I saw this super fun idea over at Creations From My Heart and HAD to try it. (Hurry run over there right now and check out her fabulous creation!)

I thrifted this stuff for $7.00.

Glued it all together with Epoxy (love that stuff!)

Spray painted it apple green. (I know the original creation is meant for food, this one is not, so by all means spray paint away!)

Antiqued it with brown paint. I brushed on the paint and wiped off the excess with a damp cloth.

All ready for Easter!

Somewhat Simple Strut Your Stuff Spring Fling

From Scarry Clock to Fab Frame

A few (okay many) posts back I showed you all the great stuff I found thrifting. This lovely clock was among the wreckage, I mean great finds.
Although it wasn't working for me in it's present state I saw some potential. It took a while, but I found that potential and well. . . see for yourself.

See ya clock face...

Hello black spray paint!

Courtesy of my crazy talented sister in law I have this fun picture of me and my husband.

I'd rather look at his face than the old broken clock hands. It now resides in our room that is finally getting some much needed attention.

Stay tuned for more master bedroom makeover projects!

Remember those plastic gold candle wall sconces? I had a little fun with them today.

Now they have a new look!

I used the two candle sconces ($4) the thrift store cutting board ($3) and a 4x4 post (5.50)

I screwed the cutting board into the bottom of the post.

Then glued the candle sconces on with some epoxy.



Primed and painted with black spray paint. Then sanded the edges.
