Easy DIY Garden String Storage Ideas

A fun garden string holder made from a garage sale find. 




There was nothing to this project... just screw the funnel to the wall and thread the twine through. 

No more knots in your twine!

French Postcard Toile Eyeglass Case

While working on a project, I had some valuable leftover scraps.
I thought I'd make a quick little project.
(Cause we all love quick little projects!)
I started with a French postcard from  The Graphics Fairy


I hand copied portions of the postcard onto  leftover paint cloth fabric using a permanent marker. Then I cut out a piece of old quilted toile the same size as my paint cloth for a lining.


I sewed the pieces right sides together on the  side I want to be my opening. Then I folded the right sides together and sewed around 3 sides leaving one open for turning inside out.

After turning it inside out, I sewed the last side closed.  (see arrow)

Next, I stuffed the toile side into the paint cloth side. When it's all finished you will want to iron and steam it flat. 

See, there it is in there...

Upcycled Chalkboard

I recently found a very ugly picture in  a really beautiful frame.

Luckily... My Valspar free sample came today!
I popped out the picture and gave the frame a coat of white. 

The frame looks beautiful in white!


Then I painted the backing board that was inside the frame with chalkboard paint.


I let the paint dry, and then rubbed the side of the  chalk over the board and erased it, this keeps the chalk  writing from staining the chalkboard.

And the result is an awesome chalkboard in a beautiful white frame!

Junky Old Memo Board

I'm thinking maybe a new weekly post series? What to do with the junk in my garage? Junkyard Creations?...  Garage Creations?... Well anyway, what do you get when you cross  an old piece of junky wood... 


with an old grate...


and some other stuff?


Well watch and see... First I ran some black wire back and forth around the grate...



And using old mismatched screws and washers, I attached them...



Then I printed out the word "Notes" on  my computer and transferred the word onto the board...



Then I painted in the letters...


and sanded them to make them look as old as the board...

How to Make a French Welcome Sign

Bienvenue! My Valspar sample came today!



I got a free paint sample of my choice, a roller and a plastic tray! I wasted no time trying it out.


I'm making a French welcome sign.
First I painted the board... I printed out the word bienvenue in a font I loved and traced it onto the wood.
Then I hand painted the word and gave it a good sanding and distressing. Next I gave it a coat of Poly for protection.
And now it's ready to hang just about anywhere!
And my personal favorite!



Bienvenue!
