How to Update a Cheese Cloche

Thrift store to fabulous!

The thrift store is loaded with cheese dishes.

Thanks to The Graphics Fairy for the great image to transfer.

I used Mod Podge to stick the image onto the painted surface, let it dry, then wet and rubbed off the paper.

When it was dry I waxed the surface with clear wax.

I tied a key and key hole to the lid with jute.

Love the results and I gave it to my friend as a gift!

Today I successfully saved another cheese dish from the landfill!

  2. That turned out great, Susan! I know what you mean, I always see these at Goodwill. I found a {still in its wrapper} little wooden board that I plan on trying this technique {again} out on. I just need to pick the graphic that grabs me for it!

  9. I gasped! I didn't think of graphics on mine, nor giving them away, nor that I rescued them from a landfill. I can go forth now in peace with my two cheese domes!
