Upcycled Free Wooden Items
March 21, 2022
My aunt gave me this little wooden candy box. She wondered if I could make something out of it.

She also gave me this round wooden box.
I like an upcycling challenge. I will create decorative pieces from this free stuff.
First, I painted both wooden pieces with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Drop Cloth.
Next, I pulled out this rub on transfer sheet from Dollar Tree,
AND, this Decoart Patio Herb Stencil sheet,
AND, an inexpensive stencil pack from Folk Art called Architectural. (I found it at either a Michael's or Walmart.)
I used the above stencils and transfer on the box like so.
I used Fusion Mineral Paint in Ash for the stenciling.
I stenciled the round box with "Herb Garden",
And the lid with the same Folkart stencil I used on the box center.
I waxed the boxes with Dixie Belle's Best Dang Wax in Clear.
I added herb seed packets to the my square box.
I have always loved herb projects.
Since I already had the supplies on hand, this project cost me nothing!

Pin for later!
Thanks for visiting!

Carlene, I love all your herb display projects. So fresh-looking and pretty. I like the rosemary one best, I think. I need to look for some similar boxes to work on. Thanks for sharing these up-cycled projects
ReplyDeleteThanks Naomi! There are a lot of boxes at the thrift shops!
