How to Make a DIY Lazy Susan
Susan I am but "lazy" is not a word in my vocabulary...
I love to keep busy and I love to create...
I'm adding affiliate links in this post so you can find the products similar to the ones I used to recreate this project.
Today I'm using a large wooden plate very much like this one I found at the thrift store. You could use any kind of plate or platter.
I gave the plate a coat of black chalky paint then a coat of White over the top when the black dried.
I used the black paint once again to stencil the image onto the plate.
When the stencil was dry I sealed the paint.
In no time that old wooden plate is ready for the center of the table.

I didn't even know you could buy lazy susan hardware! I will definitely be making one for myself, and I love how yours looks. So glad you are enjoying the stencil!

I'm pretty sure you can Angie but you know me... that piece came from something else I had. I'm always removing the pieces and using them over :)
DeleteI wish my mind was creative as yours- I love this!!

What a fun idea! Love Angie's Milk and Cream stencil and this was a perfect project for it. Thanks for sharing at Talk of the Town, Susan.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteJust curious, do you leave the bottom piece of the lazy susan hardware not attached to anything? Does it still spin freely or does it slide around the table when you try to spin it?
ReplyDeleteThe lazy Susan is all one piece Jess. It is attached to the bottom of the platter and just spins. :) Hope that helps.
DeleteThe hardware is called a flat square Lazy Susan bearing. You can buy them at most hardware stores. Helped my parents upgrade their pantry last summer and we put a bunch of them in the deep corner space that always ends up in pantries. I believe we got ours for around $5.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you so much for the information!!! I will add a link :)
DeleteHow is it attached? Glued? Or with screws?
ReplyDeleteThe lazy Susan piece is attached to the bottom of the plate with E6000 glue. It will hold forever! Thanks for asking!
DeleteWhere did you get you gray striped runner?
