Very often I take a walk around my neighborhood and come back with a great find. Today I'm sharing several of my side of the road finds with you  and what I created when I got home.

Here are two projects that just made me happy. Repurposed from another old light fixture. While I'm not a big fan of snow, I do love the beauty of snowflakes. 

I always like a challenge and trying new crafts so I couldn't wait to use this large piece of corrugated metal. 

I found this piece at Tuesday Morning and it was pretty cheap, about $6.00 so I thought it would be a great pallet for a project I had in mind. 
I wanted to make an American Flag on this piece and given that it is corrugated, it almost looked striped already. 

I started out by taping-off the stripes using 1" thick Frog Tape. I actually find that Frog Tape works better than any of the other painter's tapes to get a clean line. 

I painted between the stripes with a couple of coats of white paint and when it dried I removed the tape.


I actually almost stopped right there... 
I loved the neutral look of the galvanized steel and the white. 
Once the white was completely dried …

Broken vintage lamp parts are as good as gold to a repurposer like me!

It is not often I put something out to the curb, I usually am picking things up from the side of the road but today was different!

Todays challenge was to make a project using a piece of corrugated metal.

Rustic pieces and white Easter decorations work together.
