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!

Nice find. I love the key that you have added to it. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteThat 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!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! That is one of my favorite graphics (anything with chocolate!!)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the image transfer thing yet - looks great!

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!
