hey all! a month ago today i featured a thrift store find reinvented. (click HERE to peek incase you missed it!) holy smokes how the time flies by! i never meant for it to be a month hiatus on this topic...but here goes with the latest!
my goal in starting this segment was to find something for under a buck. thus the title thrift store $ menu! though it can be a bit of a challenge to hit that price point these days...this little guy {below} only set me back one shiny quarter.
it was a canvas waiting to be transformed! the blank top begged for something artsy to top it off...and back @ the ranch there were some metal letter stamps just itching to make their "impression" on that naked blade.
so i dove into the depths of my cupboards in search of elements to make a cheery statement. here is what i gathered together {below} to do just that! paper flowers, a prized container of vintage watch faces plus some letter scrap with delicate handwriting.
a snip here...a blow of the hammer there...plus a sparkling rhinestone atop a watch face mixed with a little resin for a forever display and voila! a re-purposed letter opener ready to LETTER RIP!
just shows you that it doesn't have to be a BIG project lot to unleash your creative powers! all for the cost of some pocket change!
and to quote my recent farewell to a pair of high-spirited gals inspired by a visit to my patinaWHITE cottage..."GO FORTH AND CREATE"! just be sure to use your powers for the good of all crafty chicks worldwide!
