So Simple!
I have seen these great pots with french writing on them on the blog Heaven's Walk.
Make sure you stop over and visit Laurie, she has a simple tutorial on how you can make one too.
After seeing the picture above by Laurie, I knew I had to give it a try.
So, last weekend I bought some Mod Podge.
I reverse copied a graphic from the best place to go, the Graphics Fairy.
I had bought this grungy white bread box at an antique shop months ago,
I thought it would be perfect to use for my project.
This is what it looked like in the drying stage, let me tell you that is the hardest part; waiting for it to dry overnight.
But, I did.
I just love it.
You may notice a difference in the words.
The first one I pulled off and decided to try again, like I said, simple.
How do you like my bread box now.
Oh, and it is kind of like painting, I am looking all around the house for something to put graphics on.
I am thinking of what kind of Halloween graphic I can use.
Oh yeah, I am already working on my Halloween projects, come on people, I only have two months to get ready, and we all know it will be here sooner than we think.
I am sharing my bread box with;
Thanks for visiting, now what are you going to make today.
I am off to paint another treasure I happened to find at the flea market this weekend.
I love the pot!

Oh what a neat box to start with! It turned out lovely and I'm loving the pot she did too!
ReplyDeleteI had seen the post about the flowerpots but after seeing what you have done, I have got to try this! And I am in the midst of refinished a breadbox. It has a spot on the top that I could have done something like this to, but instead, all I could think of were checkerboards!!
