You could use it to clean something, but that's no fun!
I have one I don't use anymore so I decided to give it a makeover.
I gave it a good sanding to get rid of what was let of the
old finish on the wood.
I used some dark wood stain on the brush.
I love to stencil-
Any wood surface is not safe at my house!
I used these stencils from
Cathe Holden at Inspired Barn
You will see more of my projects over there ;)
I use painters tape to hold down stencil-
a stencil brush is needed
and a little dab of black acrylic paint!
After the paint dried, I used a clear acrylic spray finish to seal.
Flipped over it can hold pictures!
Thanks for stopping by today-
I hope you have a great week-

Note: I made another and the second one sold
before I got a picture!
This is such a cute and practical way to use an old scrub brush. Your stencil is perfect!

The stencil looks so authentic on your brush. It looks good on the other side holding pictures, too! I popped over to the stencil link and saw some great patterned ones. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Allyson! I have a few of the stencils - my favorite are the old labels. They are very good quality stencils. I always check there first.
DeleteHave a great week ;)

I have been on the look out for a vintage brush just like this! This turned out so cute. I was thinking along the same lines and displaying a photo too!
ReplyDeleteThis brush was from an old shoe shine box ! A brush with stiff bristles works even better. Now that you are looking you will probably see them everywhere! Thank you for your sweet comment.
