Faux Tin Tile Bunny
Hello My Friends!
Most of the Craft and Dollar Stores have
some chunky cut outs for Spring!
There are so many ways to decorate these.
I used this bunny cut out because
he can stand on his own-
I also needed one of these tiles from the Dollar Tree.
Then painted the entire bunny with white acrylic paint.
I used a damp cloth to wipe paint off on some areas.
The gray raised areas show through.
I put the bunny on a shelf along with a gingham jar
that I painted a few years ago.
Here's a tutorial on my Jars, in just about any color!
With some of the scrap pieces I was able to
cover a wooden heart-
to hang
and the roof of a small birdhouse.
These tiles are so easy to use!
I recommend you give them a try.
Thank you for visiting!

Wood Spindle Carrots
Hi Friend,
These wood spindles were from a couple of broken chairs
left out for the trash.
We took them home and used a rubber mallet
to take the chairs apart.
It was easy and a little bit fun!
I have seen so many people
making these carrots- I had to give it a try.
I had three spindles
that were pretty long, so I cut
them in half.
Now I have 6 pieces.
I left one end flat and used sandpaper to round the other end.
I drilled a hole in the wide end.
I wanted to add some greenery.
I was able to divide this piece into 6 sections.
I will trim the stems short to resemble real carrots.
but first I need to paint-
I used a little brown mixed with Harvest Orange
After they dried I glued on the greenery
and trimmed the tops of the carrots.
and done!
Thanks for visiting today!
HAPPY SPRING!

These spindles were made into flags!

Barn Wood Tool Caddy
Hi friend!
My neighbor was working on a project and asked if I wanted a piece
of plywood that was leftover.
I told Mr. Fresh Vintage it would be a good bottom for a Tool Caddy!
....and of course we jumped right in!
I love him for that!!!
We got together what we planned to use-
One long piece of rough barn wood, I 've been saving for years !
A large scrap piece of plywood from my neighbor.
I love how it turned out!
The whole box was made from scraps-
It's a keeper-
