diy {vintage tins+lazy susan art caddy}

I love everything about this project. It reuses something that normally would just be thrown out or thrown in the recycling bin, I'm in love with the vintage labels, it's easy and free! Go here for the tutorial and free vintage label printables.



The second project is a lazy susan art caddy.  It's a great way to keep all those art and crafts supplies all in one place.

What I'm thinking I'm gonna do is combine these two projects to make my own more eclectic version. I also think I'm gonna try to use epoxy to attach the tins on to the lazy susan verses screwing them on like they do in the tutorial. Either way it's a great easy little project.

Upcycling {Pretty bottles}

I am a bottle collector. I'm pretty sure I get this from my dad, he would save all different types of jars and bottles and I'm not really sure for what. He never ended up doing anything with them. In fact I ended up inheriting some of them. There are not many things that I keep but for whatever reasons I always hesitant before throwing away glass jars or bottles too. So when I saw this project I knew I would be doing it.


This ones from Martha Stewart. I love the different colors . She just used white enamel paint and swirled it into each jar which brought out the different color variations of the glass.
