Thrift Store Bowls
Thrift store bowls take on a new life...
You know the ones, they're everywhere!
The wooden salad bowls that nobody wants anymore.
Well I wanted them!
I started out by cutting one in half.
Then I screwed and glued them to the front panel
of an old wine crate.
You can see the indent of the printing through the paint.
A coat or 2 of Annie Sloan Chalk paint later...
then distressing and a little dark wax to bring out the
lettering on the wine crate.
Add a handle... (it's actually a metal zero but works for me!)
And I've changed those old bowls into a rustic wall hanging.
Fill them with flowers or make-up or keys or something for your kitchen.
Any other ideas?
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.
That is super cute - I have 4 or 5 in my cabinet that I always think "what if I have a salad party" {more likely to have a chocolate party} - I may have to try this!

I'm in awe! Wow! That's a great project and something you can throw together for just a few bucks with items snagged at a thrift store. Stop by my Friday's Five Features and link up this post (and others)! http://diy-vintage-chic.blogspot.com/2013/08/fridays-five-features-no-4.html
ReplyDeleteFabulous repurposing idea! I see those bowls everywhere and used to have a bunch too.
ReplyDeleteAnd she does it again....
