Thrift Store Bowl Re-Vamp

I found this bowl for $1.50 at a local thrift store.  I loved the shape! I did not love the brassy finish.

I was headed to Fred Meyer's to pick up a few things so decided to check out their spray paint section.  They had a pretty good selection to choose from.  And best of all, they were all on sale!  So what color to choose?  If you knew me in real life, you probably wouldn't even have to think about the answer.  Why grey of course!

 

So with an inexpensive thrift store bowl and a can of Krylon gloss spray paint I transformed my brassy bowl into something more modern and much more my style:

 

Shelf with fabric background {thrift store project}

I love the idea of taking something old and bringing new life to it.  My sister and I hit the thrift stores yesterday in search for some good finds that we could spruce up!  I took an inexpensive shelf and turned it into a piece of art with a little bit of fabric and some mod podge.

I found this shelf for $2.99 and I had to pick it up.  I knew that I could turn this into a piece of artwork. 

Want to know how to do this yourself.  It's very easy!

What you'll need:

• Thrift store find shelf
• Mod Podge
• Fabric scraps
• Scissors or Rotary cutter
• paintbrush

1)  Cut scraps of fabric to the size of each of the spaces of the shelf using the scissors or rotary cutter.
2)  Using your paint brush put a layer of Mod Podge onto the shelf
3)  Lay fabric onto the Mod Podge
4)  Put another layer of Mod Podge on top of the fabric

5)  Let dry 

Voila! You have an inexpensive and unique piece of artwork!
