The steps are simple, but when you give the paint time to dry, the project will span a weekend. It might seem daunting, but trust me, it’s easy, and when you find the perfect piece, a surface makeover is well worth the effort.
Kristy of Kootoyoo created this lovely spool holder using colored pencils. I think it’s fantastic, and the fact that it casts beautiful shadows makes it even more fun!
Monica at CraftyNest shares how she took a found piece of railing and transformed it into this wall-mounted craft organizer. She’s also included notes on additions she made to her existing rolling toolbox to make the craft/tool station complete!
Here’s another great project you can do with an old vintage frame — repaint it and turn it into a framed bulletin board like Lisa of Celebrate Creativity in all it’s forms.
