Trash To Treasure Tuesday

It is time to visit Kimm @ Reinvented! Jump on over and be sure to check out all the other links to some of the most beautiful trash you will ever see.

I had some Travertine left over from our back splash and I always have pieces of felt around. So I put the together and now I have coasters and trivets.

This was a scrap piece of pine from the project in my previous post. I painted it with watered down Antique White paint and sanded the edges. I rubbed on one of those scrap book word things. (It was either Happy Birthday, Thank you, Thinking of you or Kindness. This hangs in my bathroom so the only saying that is really appropriate was kindness.) Tied a ribbon and there you have it. Cheap, easy and simple.

Oh how I do love scrap wood.
I painted it tacky pink. Found an image I liked. With a fork I pressed down hard and traced the image onto the painted wood.


I then used my dremel with the small round tip and went over all the pressed lines...

and that is how this princess board was born. I did something similar with a long piece of scrap wood. I printed out my words off the computer and traced them with the sharp end of a spoon. After I chiseled the words I stained the whole thing. The sign is above pictures of my kids.

Why Wooden't I

I love Trash to Treasure Tuesday's with Kimm @ Reinvented! This week I decided to tackle a pile of wood I have been saving from when we built our house, almost 4 years ago. I gave them a light sanding. Drilled 3 holes with a 11/32 bit.

Stained them Walnut. Stained cloths pins I had hanging around.

I gave them a good podging and applied paper. Last I glued 3 clothes pins to each board. Now, I have cute desk caddies. Ooops, I forgot to put the pens and pencils in the 3 holes before I took the picture. Darn it.




There you have it. They could have been trash and now I hope they will be somebodies treasure.

Now, I will be giving the middle one on the last picture (blue and brown) to someone. Yes my bleeps (if people are peeps and twitters are tweets then you all must be bleeps.):) I am having my first give-a-way. I wish I would have chosen something lighter to ship, but when it feels right, it's right. So, to be entered, leave a comment. For an extra chance, become a follower or remind me you already follow. Thank you all for stopping by.
