Making Over Thrifted Finds || Trash to Treasure || Farmhouse Decor

welcome to our channel this is yvonne from redhead girls rehab and together with my husband chris we make second hand flips, we take obsolete, unloved and unwanted thrift store

finds

and then give them new life and on our channel we share the process with all of you, so this is what I'm working on today in this video, these are some risers, some lazy Susans and some trays, and I'm definitely ready to give them a much needed makeover, give them a new life, prepare them for resale and give them the touch of ginger that is not. It's funny how you never see a lazy Susan and then suddenly that's what you find all the time.

I saved these and these new products purchased. I was very excited about all this. We had some goal, some Joanne settlement, a savings or very red. cake stand and we have that very large tray and some of these smaller trays and then this little condiment Lazy Susan I definitely know I could use that part of the Lazy Susan so let's start right away removing the store labels and the price tags and Then, disassemble everything that may need to be disassembled. I've been asked several times about this little tool I've been using to remove labels and I think it was like 99 cents or a dollar 29 in port shipping.

On one of their end caps, I actually bought two, but I love the angle of it. It's a razor blade, but it doesn't scrape items or anything. Whatever angle they have with the tip, it's perfect for removing stickers and then. I was very happy to find that it had four small screws holding it on, so I can remove them and I'll be able to paint them separately now that some item labels don't come off as easily. This was an older piece, not old. like an antique, but just that sticker had been there for a while, so I'm just using the help of the heat gun to reactivate that sticky, so when I take this little razor blade scraper tool, it's scratchable , so I actually just remembered that I had this tray in my horde, so I didn't get it in the initial jar.

I was looking for something I could put on top of that Lazy Susan seasoning and this was perfect. Then, of course, another second-hand item. I'm just removing these little pads from the bottom. I need to take the first layer off and then it heats up with that heat gun and it just slides off so it's really nice to have stuff inside. your horde when you're thrift shopping, so I'm so happy I have a top to put on this very small lace Susan, when you see that handle unscrewed, now I have a top to put on top of this, I'll have to.

I glued these two together after painting the bottom, so I ordered some of these little knobs on Amazon. I love using them for the tray legs so I'll link them in my description below so I have that type and Then for these I had used them before but I ordered some more because I love the shape of them so I'm going to sand those happy Easter and these leaves, I didn't really feel like they were raised, but I'm not going to relish the opportunity to paint them and then have them come out like this, so I'm going to try to get this as smooth as possible and then sand all these corkscrews on top . of this I love the rustic character of this wood of this piece and for this lacy susan I'm just going to focus on the top, this is very polyurethane and I want to reduce it to that raw wood that I'm not.

I'm going to paint the bottom, so I'm not going to worry about sanding it, but I want to get it down to that nice raw wood so I don't have any problems with the paint sticking to this polyurethane and then, as you see. Like the bottom of this piece, the top piece is real wood, the bottom piece is plywood, so there is a small hole where I can separate the two pieces. I'm not saying it's always easier to put them back together, but I can take them. Breaking it up to paint it separately here was a fun little surprise, as if anyone had ever seen this.

I guess I was doing it because I was going to repaint it, but this was a homemade piece signed by someone and I'll leave it alone. It's good that I like it. The size of this tray, but I wouldn't want to have to sand it, I need to get all that fruit out of there, I need it to fit right and it even had a lot of chips in the OEM paint job so I need to get this nice and smooth and then To understand well and why I was sanding, I could actually see where the cracks were, the cracks were where the original paint was peeling anyway, so I'm going to go in with some germ water putty and fix those cracks. . full to have a nice smooth finished paint job on my end results while I have that germy water putty, this Lazy Susan, for some reason the manufacturer just put these cut marks on it and they're just tolls so I thought you know what We were all guessing if we could put some paint on that germy water putty or not, so I'm just taking some of this ink wave chalk paint and yeah, I'm going to mix it with the remains of the hard water putty and See how this goes, I'm just going to take this putty knife and fill those holes.

I wasn't too sure if the black would stain the wood, but I guess you know what I can sand and we'll see how it works. goes now before I paint the bottom of these, I would like to attach the wood and the wooden legs to these, so I'm just going to use a little bit of tight joint. I'm going to let them sit overnight and I think the tight joint might be a bit more secure than the e6000 I've been testing. I haven't had any problems other than the one time one was dropped on my stand, but I thought you know I'm like Chris.

Do you think this is a tighter joint than that glue, I really want them to stay on, so for this size and for them to be round, three legs are enough for this one, since I had already taken it apart, I wanted to make sure we were going to I can put that metal handle back on, so I placed it where I know it's going to be so I can space the legs correctly and now my hard water putty is prepared enough that I can go back in and sand it. I'm using my Little Black and Decker because I need to get into those angles and sand it smooth, so I know this might look like a mess and make a bigger mess, but actually that grayish color is just sanding dust and it's actually just filling in. . in just black with those holes, I love the idea of ​​mixing paint with that Durham water putty, so now I have everything prepped, glued and filled.

I'm going to go in with some super clean water and some hot water and clean everything up. Now I'm not soaking this. I don't want the MDF board to lift because it's too wet. I only have the damp cloth while I clean it. This is where you can really tell he did a good job just coloring it. duram body of water filling those crevices that the manufacturer put in. I love that now because this has some of the mdf board visible and some of that paint. There are a couple of different options you could have made, but I choose to do it. spray shellac on these pieces just to even out their porosity, yes I could have primed them but I'm going for the five minute trick and the same is the mdf board, I want it to look a little more top end in the way it it's just going to absorb that paint and those very raw feet that I added and then I'm going to try, usually a lot of times I try to sand that piece of paper off these trays, but I'm going to paint with shellac.

I have an idea of ​​how I'm going to finish this piece because a lot of times if I put a stencil on it, the paper tears off, so I thought, let me try this. I'm going to start right away painting a lot of these items with Rust-oleum paint and primer in one and it's flat black so I like to tilt my items upside down and pretty much everything will get a coat of black. To start, I have everything placed on these boards. If you've seen our videos before, you know we're lucky enough to have a spray room, so I can't have a ventilated area, have a mask so I can spray year-round in Michigan. weather no matter the weather outside and today it's actually rainy and humid so I know my paint will take a long time to dry but at least I can spray these items one by one, move them to the table, move another. especially on this very red cake stand and yeah, I also sealed this mdf board with that five minute shellac spray and now I'm just cleaning that up and giving it a good coat of paint and oxide-oleum primer now for this lazy one.

Susan's butt is real wood so now I'm going to apply a little bit of this Waverly chalk paint on the ink before I flip these pieces over now that the backgrounds are dry I'm just sealing it with some polyacrylic on the mac . This will simply seal it in as a protective layer so that we don't ruin the black spray paint that we use or the black paint that we apply to these items. I already like the color of this wood, but I'm going to paint these legs, so I'm just going to tape them down and just apply this oxide-oleum chalk paint in white and give these little legs a little freshness now. that the polyacrylic is dry on the bottom. side can I flip them over and do the exact same process yeah I laminated both sides of this and so nineteen and why even though it was glued to the board I said it was wet today so I just need to flip them over and then spray paint them black and then seal them with that polyacrylic, so I had to lift this up so I could get the right angle to get those tricky spots on the top of these legs.

Yeah, it was probably easier to spray paint at first, but I wanted to make sure they were nice and adhered so you know I'm going to use a little bit of spray paint as I work on this piece to get all these little top pieces, the cracks, the little indentations, I love all that detail, but I need to get my paint in there, I don't know about you, but it's very satisfying to see the red cover up and then all this very chipped water putty and the mdf board showing through of the base layer of this. black and sealing everything is so satisfying that it looks so uneven before you start painting it in this oxide-oleum black paint it just goes on so smooth that any of those real wood items that I painted with that Waverly chalk paint I'm sealing with a bit of polyacrylic as a protective coat I was also going to paint my second coat of oxide-oleum white paint on these legs when I removed the cap the cap fell to the bottom of course paint side down so I cleaned it up.

As best I can, I guess if I have to sand it, so be it, but don't hate when things happen like you don't have enough work, they have to do a little more for you now, all that rusty paint. it's dry on the top, I'm just going to seal this whole thing with that polyacrylic and now I'm going to go in and finish the top of my real wood pieces using that wavy chalk pink in the ink, also the cool thing about This Waverly Chalk Paint I always find that usually the ink color is covered with just one coat so I love it and then I'm not really sure if you'll be able to see the top of the bottom of the Lazy Susan but I'm going to circle the Lazy Susan part Susan from the bottom of this great Lazy Susan.

How many times can I say that and paint her black? Also, I almost forgot I had some screws that I needed to paint black. You do not want. Those silver and brass paints, when you reapply them to something that's black, they'll really stand out, so I'll paint them the same way with that oleum oxide paint and matte black primer and then seal them with some polyacrylic. for a protective coat, so I'm going to go ahead and switch to Waverly Chalk Paint. I'm not sure if I'm still on the fence about liking that oxide-oleum for my smaller items, so I'm just going to jump in. and mixing in a little bit of water to make it a little bit smoother, so I'm starting here with my sides.

I taped the bottom of all of these pieces together to keep them black so I wouldn't have to do that. I already freshly painted them, so I'm going to paint them white, so like I said, I just like to tape the bottom. I already have that nice fresh black paint job there, so I'm just using some masking tape from the dollar store to make sure. that I'm not

making

a mess by rolling down while I'm painting on the sides and I like to put one of the shop cloths underneath so the boards don't accidentally scratch the bottom because I still like to keep my pieces when I'm painting them on the boards because I usually have a Lazy Susan underneath so I can turn them around and get all the angles.

Now that I have the bottom of this painted and dried, that Lazy Susan condiment holder. I'm going to attach it to this piece of wood. I'm going to use the same tight bow glue. I'm just showing you this to show you what it is, but I'm going to try to cover this entire area. I like this tight link for that wood on wood link. Now I have to use thisspreader trying to fill as many spaces as I can because you know it has holes in it where it used to hold condiments so I'm just going to go in with this. tool which is a silicone tool that is made for this so yeah I'm going to turn it over to see how much glue I can use on my fingers and center it and Chris actually said the way to center it even though I'm turning it upside down he said .

The best way to do it is to apply it from the top and make sure it flows freely and doesn't slant, so he came over and told me to turn it the other way and then I just put one of our gallons of paint on it. jars to make sure it has enough pressure to keep it stuck so these are the target place in dollars for cute little five dollar trays they are small they are not huge I put the feed in them and now I'm just

making

some Waverly wax diluted with water just to give them a little more color when I look at these dollar

finds

that I look at.

On a good project piece this is unfinished wood so if it gets wet anything spilled on it won't clean up so to me it's worth spending five bucks just to add my own touch and then yeah , I'm doing the on the bottom of the sides, the handles everywhere. I can get this antique mix diluted with water by applying it with a brush or a piece of cloth and then letting it dry and then if I need a second coat I can reapply it but I love it. how is this turning out already, so I toyed with the idea of ​​dry brushing it to show what I consider wooden pallet slats, but since I filled those holes with that black colored duram water putty, I'm like, well, no I don't want to cover that up, so I'm doing the same.

I'm just going to use that wax mixture diluted with water and put it in here just to give the wood a little bit more color and the same thing if it's not dark enough, I can go back in and add, it's very hard to get it off once you add it, so if you're new to my channel, this is a free-for-all game, I like to call it flipping items. I make a complete set. I group together items that are more or less similar and then I prepare them all for resale and share the process with you, so sometimes I'll be working on a piece here and then I'll come back to a piece here because you're constantly waiting for it to be painted. dry so as you see here I'm now going to apply my second coat of Waverly white chalk paint on the items that I've painted white, like I said you're always constantly waiting for the paint to dry so there's always something what to work on.

When I reapply my second coat of paint, I thin it with water a little more than I did the first coat. I wanted to make sure it's not thick and doesn't peel off the chalk paint. One thing about chalk paint is it's made to be worn away by water so if it's too thick and it pulls on your brush it can rip it off and then if it's too thin it's coming off just figure out what the mix is ​​for you now, I just like I usually always go to my pleats wherever there's a corner that way I can fill it in and then why do I go along my sides and do my sides that way if it runs down like I do it constantly when you're always painting? looking for drips in case there are always drips because it's not fun to sand the drips so we all learn what process works for us and this is what works for me so I usually fill my butt at the end and I know you guys I didn't .

I have a lot of paint to paint and I know I should have taken a bigger brush but I already had this one and I was already on the go so I just kept using the smaller brush so when it came to this cake stand I didn't want to have to lose time sticking tape on so I took an extra piece of the contact paper that I used to line the drawers with and just taped it on the bottom and made sure it was stuck so for this piece I know I painted it black to cover that red and polyacrylic that is good and sealed there and now I'm going to move on to the mineral, the mineral so far has been one of the colors that has sold the most for me.

I can't say that the cement-looking elephant was a big seller at my booth. We are all different in different areas and what our buyers want to buy, so I have an idea for this piece, so my first layer will be this Waverly mineral chalk. paint and as you can see yes I switched to the larger brush and especially because I need to include all these little details now the brush worked great to get into the details but it left a lot of streaks on the bottom and I like A finish a little softer. I'm just going to go in with the fan brush and fan out the bottom of this tray.

Now I can flip it over and get those sides first. We all have a way of working around an object, so I would like to get any of those details, any of those cracks, any of those corners first and then be able to smooth out my flatter surfaces at the end, so I achieved the color I liked on these trays so I'm going to start with a A couple of coats of this matte polyacrylic spray I need to seal it and I just put that Waverly wax on there it soaked right into the wood so if something got wet or spilled on this it just It would stain the wood.

It can't really be cleaned, but a few coats of this to seal the wood should protect it. Do you realize that sometimes when you buy new products, many items no longer have a protective coating? So these are the new purchases I received. of good will they had the lens sticker but they are not sealed, there is nothing to seal this to protect it, so before I put a stencil or any type of decal on it, I'm going to go in and give it a nice coating of this polyacrylic and along with this second hand tray is also just wood, for me there is no top coat that seals this so when I go to put a stencil on, if I'm painting over it, it might bleed into the wood.

This is my reasoning for polyacrylic, so surprise, surprise, we're back to these white trays. I told you that I am constantly working on something because something else is drying, so now my white paint is dry and ready for its third coat even if it is the second. The coats cover very well, there are always little bits and pieces of areas that aren't completely covered yet and now I'm on the second coat on the cake stand and I have to say I'm pretty sure it looks like this. This mineral paint covers this in two coats, so I asked myself that question before how long this process takes.

I don't want everyone to think. I know not everyone thinks I do this in a day by any means. we have second jobs or this is our second job actually so flipping items is something we do after work or we can do a lot of things if we have a free weekend we are always constantly working on something so now I'm going to go in and sand them and I couldn't sand them the night before which made them distressed so I had to let them dry overnight, it rained a little and the humidity wouldn't let things dry, that's how things get tough sometimes, so now I'm going to sand them down and just sand them down and then I'm going to smooth them out with a little bit of water, but since I let them sit overnight, this chalk paint is on, they're good, so I'm just going to use 220 sandpaper to distress them. all those corners, all those edges to let some of that black through and then I just take the sandpaper of the whole piece to make sure it's nice and smooth and then yeah, I'm taking that wet wipe and just going over the whole piece, getting some of that sanding, I already removed it with the air compressor, any dust that may be left, just making this piece for me, we like our pieces to be nice and smooth and then if I rub a little more on the edges maybe it will see a little bit more of that black, that's why I do that polyacrylic if you miss that polyacrylic step and you're trying to distress yourself to show that black through what it's going to show through.

You will most likely have a dirty gray mess so polycrylic or oxide-oleum clear coat, any type of clear coat to seal that black should work, it's just something to keep the black and white from mixing if You decide to move forward. to the white, okay, I got lazy, I couldn't get the dryer to help me remove this tape and look what happened, the black came off, this is not a fully cured item when it is dry when I put the tape on it. when it's dry but not cured when it's hardened it usually takes a couple of weeks so here I am removing the tape.

I did not use the help of the dryer to release the stickiness and now I have many touch-ups on the back of this article to know me, I always like to share the good, the bad, the ugly, I am not perfect, I am imperfect in every way, I make mistakes , I get lazy and just want to get on with projects too and then This happens, it just made me work harder once again so my plan was to just remove the tape and then take the sandpaper and get rid of that sharp edge where you put the tape so that there was no paint left under where you painted black. so they can eat that nice background, there is always that crusty edge where the paint collects on the tape, so I just remove the sandpaper to get rid of that crusty edge, why am I sanding the piece so I don't force them to look at the whole thing? process I went into with the Waverly Ink chalk paint that goes wonderfully with that black onyx from Walmart, so I'm going to go back in and yeah, I'm going to have to paint the whole area and then probably curl it back. or seal that painting again, but like I said, note to self, don't get lazy Yvonne, so now it's time to put the Lazy Susan potion back into this Lazy Susan and as you see, I saved that handwritten letter , I don't know.

If so, the next time someone sees it, I guess they're going to take it apart and repaint it, but at least I didn't paint it. Oh, I almost forgot to record when I started making this, so I'm going to make a decision. vintage wax the Waverly vintage wax and placing it over this mineral paint. I did not seal the mineral paint. I'm just letting this Waverly paint or Waverly wax adhere to it and then I rubbed it with a piece of dry cloth to set it down. getting into all those cracks and my hope was that it would look like wood, like I can't even remember this being read right now, but oh my gosh, I'm already amazed and in love with how this is turning out and after that.

I installed it for a couple of hours and it was dry to the touch. I'm sealing it with some of this oxide-oleum clear and matte coat. Yes, that Waverly wax is a protective coating, but I don't know if they are that good. Are you going to use this for display? Are they going to use it as food? I don't really know what they're going to do. I tried to sell my items just as

decor

ative pieces to protect myself but I like to seal my pieces and even after waxing them so now I brought all my items into my house and now I'm starting to detail them, I do most of the painting and I in our workshop, but when it comes to doing the detailed work, yes, I drag everyone is in the house and that's where my cricut and my craft room are my silhouette, all my supplies for this type of work, so for this big beast, you see, ain't that a big lazy susan?

I'm going to put a little bit. grain sack stripes, this might look like one I've made in the past, but you know it sells right away, so I don't know about you, but if something sells, make another one now, I choose to put it up. My green jacket has a stripe on the edge of only one of these sides, so I went in with a half-inch piece of duct tape that is smaller than the two pieces of duct tape I'm placing on each side. The duct tape is from the dollar store. and the half inch is a little bit more expensive so I'm using the masking tape on each side and then I'm going to remove that middle tape or that half inch tape like I said I wanted to have a little bit A smaller stripe and I'm going to use this timeless gray multipurpose apple barrel paint and then when I use that makeup sponge, I'm just applying a little bit of paint and I dry it between coats that way.

I get it so it stays there, doesn't squish under the tape and I'm doing the three coats to cover, drying them in between and then I like to use the dryer one more time before applying the next piece of tape. for my neck stripe, making sure every piece and part of that pre-painted stripe is dry beforehand, as well as applying the next piece of masking tape. Now I'm going, as you see, I'm going up and leaving a little bit of lip, today I'm just going to do two lines on this. I think what's so addictive about grain sack stripes is that you can do whatever you want, so I'm just looking at what I want my neck stripe to be. to make it a little smaller than my first stripe, you could put it in the middle, you could put it on both sides, you can do a crisscross pattern, it's just the fun and addiction for me of making stripes on grain sacks, so I definitely am.

I'm not going to forget to use the hair dryer this time. I don't want that tape to take away my gray paint. I need you to release the sticky part of that tape so I canremove it carefully or without pulling on anything. gray or even that old white paint that's there, I remember it's dry but it's not cured yet, so I feel like I'm answering some comments or questions from viewers, so they ask me what do I do, how, what kind of sandpaper I use when I make my jigs when I'm sanding it and I always say a very appreciated piece of sandpaper and as I showed you the 220 is very appreciated it's well used so I bring it because all I do when I'm sanding my jigs or any grain sack, I just want to remove that raised bump, I don't want to remove it, so all this does is where that little raised edge takes it so it's nice and smooth. taking a dry cloth just removing any sanding dust that might have created, so I'm going to use one of my I See Paris stamps and I buy them from scrapbook.com.

I love the set, I love the coffee. this lazy Susan because I can imagine her in a kitchen on an island and that's why I chose brown, so it's funny, I'll look at the stripes on my grain sack, but when it comes to centering my stamp, I don't want to just look at what that will just drive. I'm absolutely crazy if I actually have this off center, you know, a quarter. An inch is one thing, but having a half inch or more, so what I did was place it where I wanted it, center it, and then grab it on that stamping block.

It's nice that they stick to these acrylic blocks, so I'm just going to use those leftover ink to stamp it on this Lacy Susan, so here's that hold-your-breath moment where you say, please don't drop the seal, please don't drop the seal, please, all the pieces and parts are gone. on the wood pressing as much as you can on the stamp so you say oh please don't slide it takes so much prayer to stamp so I took it off and made sure it was there and it turned out so I want to try this seal. This is one I bought on Amazon.

I love making those mosaics, but I always have to stencil them. Cut them out with one of my cricut or my cameo, but what I did. I didn't know it was a two piece part that that little middle part had come off, so I thought why not give it a try? So I thought, "Okay, let's see if I can use this brayer and apply it." The paint doesn't have white ink so I'm just using some apple barrel all purpose paint and seeing if I can apply it. It seems to work well for applying paint which I've seen other crafters do. this with their brayers, i know jamie ray vintage makes it so i'm going to see how it works, so i'm going to put one of these stamps on the four corners and see how it works.

I'm pushing really hard. A little prayer hoping it's not a disaster and the seal is there, so I had already established this. I knew I wanted to angle this on those four corners before I even started this process, but my hope is that that middle section would keep falling off of me and that it would stay. I put the melon, the cellophane, whatever, that little piece of clear plastic on top that came on top hoping it would stay. and then it didn't, so I used my acrylic block, it stuck to my black acrylic and then yeah, I wasn't really a fan of this, but I thought, oh, I have to go back at least to fix the middle one. a little bit, so here comes a little more prayer.

I'm not going to try to match because it's not a clear stamp on the larger one, but I'll do a little more since something was missing, not sure. I can't say I was a fan of the label, but I bought it so I wanted to use it at least once, so if you had seen my second hand haul, your last second hand haul, you would have noticed that I was able to save some mats and "Yes , I wanted to try them as a template, so I have these little round ones, so I thought, oh my goodness, almost perfect size for this, the only thing I wish I had found in my city I don't have any tack spray I have a primitive adhesive but.

I didn't have any adhesive spray to spray this lightly so keep in mind you have to order some on Amazon so I'm just going to use that apple barrel white all purpose paint and a dabber stain and this is a little bit more difficult, It's definitely different than the templates I cut out on my silhouette, the spaces are definitely a lot closer together, but I thought why not try it so you can see how much pressure I'm putting on my hand and hoping and praying this doesn't move on. me and then if it does, then I can put it back together, so well, we'll see how it goes well when it comes to this lazy Susan.

I didn't want to cover it up, I just loved seeing those wooden slats that I loved where that water putty mixed with that black turned out. I didn't want to cover it up, but I just needed a little more and I just thought. How about a simple one of these cards from Amazon? A simple farm, so I left them all alone. You know, I have the farm and I'm too big for my acrylic block, but I grabbed one of those clean, clear pieces. It comes with your stamp sets and I thought you can use your resources, use what you have, so I'm going to go in and use the white apple barrel on these letters, although this clear plastic doesn't have a grid line that I set up. the letters along one of the slats mark the spaces in between when I lift them up, I made sure it stayed level so that when I reapplied it I could put it back in the same space trying to rub each of these little letters to make sure All the ink impressions were left behind now when the white was drying it actually dried very slightly so I went back with the stazon black ink and luckily everything was clear so I could see where I needed to reapply the black. on the white to make it stand out a little more, so I love the wood grain of this Lazy Susan.

I don't want to take anything away from it, I want people to still see the grain, but of course I have to do it a little bit. something in it, so I'm going to go in with my two inches from the dollar general store in dollars. I always have to remember so many dollar stores where this came from, so I'm going to use that and I'm going to make a little bit bigger stripe on this, so I'm just making sure that my tape is centered and then I go back to I go in with my dollar tree duct tape and place a piece on each side splicing it together to make sure it stays.

Nice and straight, but that's a good thing with the green stripes on the jacket, it may be a little dull, but at least I'm trying now. This Lace Susan has a little bit of a lip so I don't have to press as hard to make sure that I'm folding it into that fold so it doesn't bleed under there and then for my stopping point for the stripes on my green jacket, I'm going to go all the way, right to the side, not down, just to that side, and then I can remove that piece in the middle, so I started applying this with that blank apple barrel, the all-purpose paint with the sponge because that It's what I have in my house, all our paintbrushes are outside the asylum and I'm like, oh my God, this would have been easier with a paintbrush, but then what happened under my tape?

But four coats later, hair dryer to help dry in between, I finally got it done, but yeah, I'm thinking something else would have been a little easier. to apply that little makeup sponge and as you see I tried that foam brush but then I got nervous because I was going to squish it underneath so I put it down and went back to what I was using so as you see here, I just put those pieces of tape on that to leave a little space, another piece of tape, just look at what you want your stripes to be, how much space you want there to be between them, definitely using that hair dryer to take that.

I taped off that white prepaint, I guess I don't have to worry about the wood coming off, just the paint I spent all that time painting on, since I generally don't like to do identical things, kind of similar, but it's not identical, so I just did that normal stripe in the middle of this, just the duct tape stripe and then I'll show you. I just wanted to show you here how, if you wanted to, how you could make this pass over that and center that. center paint stripe with a regular piece of masking tape take this two inch piece of tape in the center of each side if this is easier for you this is also what works sometimes you know it's fun to play with things and see how different or a little different you can make something for the beast of a tray this will show you how big it is this is a 12 by 12 stamp this is that handwritten note I got from scrapbook.com that redesign I love it yeah , I'm going to put all of this on this tray.

I loved it when I did it on that dresser. If you didn't see that, just use bits and pieces and here you have that. Hold your breath. Leave it alone. Say your prayer. Please don't follow me. hands, please focus. I'm offsetting it a little bit so that it fits and looks pleasing to my eyes and then once I've looked where I want it, I touch it slowly and very carefully, I try not to slide it, but I love this handwritten note. I played a lot with how I wanted to put the stamp here. I wanted to go up the sides, but that was too difficult in those corners, so this is what I decided, so now I am.

Coming back in, I know you're surprised to see more green sack stripes. I guess this is just the video of some green sack stripes on these, but in this one I'm going to go in with one of the sponges, the dollar makeup sponges. tree and I use the ink sometimes when I make that stencil and I make the opposite color, that black is a little bit too black, if that's it, not all colors are created equal, so this is what I'm doing. I'm going to go back until I achieved the darkness that the ink soaks into this painting and then it will blend together a little better.

Yes, I did it again. There I am. I'm not using that dryer and look at the end. I take out some of that paint. off oh oh well I'll fix it after I get my second stripe on this okay you caught me once you caught me twice not a third time I used that dryer to remove this tape this time so I had to go to the workshop. I had to go get some white chalk paint from Waverly using just a little bit of Q-tip just to fill in where he took it out, so if you remember, when I was making this one, I decided not to sand that paper on the bottom. from the dollar tree trying to make this profitable, so this paper is something I've had in my

treasure

trove as a scrapbooker, so I'm still working on some of my scrapbook papers, so That has a texture, so I'm like you.

I know what I'm thinking, I can apply this to the bottom of this tray, I can mash it up and treat it like I do when I put a stencil here, so I'm just using my fabric tape measure here just because I'm going up the sides, so I'm still going. Go ahead and cut that piece of paper to the size I need. I'm just using my Cricut cutter so I'm definitely going to spread this mod podge on it, it's definitely thick. paper, this embossed paper is definitely thick, so I'm just using a foam brush to apply it on the back.

I'm trying to keep it away from the corners and sides just because I know when I flatten it it's going to flatten. I'll be smooshing out and to the sides, hoping to save myself some cleanup time, but I doubt it because I'm going to apply it on top anyway, I'm just going in with a damp wipe. In something where I made a mess, what are you going to do? So I'll just go out and try to clean it as much as I can and then set it aside and let it dry. So I actually only had one of these and I figured I would put in a template that I cut out using my cameo, so I chose this flower design and I'm going to cut it out for the one that I took apart where the condiment holder was. on its own lazy susan I'm going to put several flowers on this one and for your stencil colors, your cricut cutters and your silhouette colors, did you notice that I weeded two of my flowers?

I had them removed before I was like oh oh, I weeded this wrong, you see, if you go back and look, it shows you which parts to take out. I should have weeded it when it was still off on my screen and not brought it to my island to weed, but I'm not going to waste, sometimes I get so tired of wasting vinyl that I'm going to make it work, so I'm going to go in and just go place these flowers in whatever is pleasing to my eyes. they are going to be off center some are going to be hanging down I couldn't do that with the other two Lazy Susans I didn't like that little lip this has a little bit of a lip but it goes up I just wasn't comfortable putting a jig on that and I didn't want it just on the middle so that's why those have a green sack stripe and I'm telling you it's still my sweet piece of much loved transfer tape that Is Duck brand contact paper clear?

I'll be sad when this one isn't sticky enough anymore because getting a well-loved piece of transfer tape is simply a blessing, but now that I have these, you can tell where those other two are. I didn't weed them well, but what I'm going to do in the end is use the blank all-purpose apple barrel. I'm going to go over this like three four times to get the white coverage that I want. to achieve it and then I'm going to take the outside off of this and I'm going to go in witha small fine tip brush and I'll just do an outline, that's why I didn't cut them out.

I thought you know what I think I can make this work, so no. I only used the blow dryer to dry between coats. I ended up doing four coats to get the bright white I was looking for and now I'm going to use it to release that stickiness and help achieve that. vinyl, my next step is to seal all the stencils that I've made, so I'm sealing them using that oxide-oleum in a clear matte, so I have a few little pieces that I need to finish the work on and this is one of them. I'm going to go in with some of that 220 sandpaper, pushing pretty hard because that's that beloved piece of sandpaper.

I want to show some of that wood through this to show that it's weathered and then I'm going to go in with some Waverly antique wax and run it over that paper. I'm going to let all the details of that role shine through now. This is a personal preference. You could also have left it this way. I also sealed it with that oxide-oleum clear coat, but I like to use a little bit of this antique wax and I think it makes it pop a little more than the white the rest of the pieces will get. a very light sanding just with that much appreciated used sandpaper to get the texture that you can feel with the spray and then a top coat of verithane in natural form just to make sure thatAll of these items are protected so thank you very much for viewing Today's video and which one was your favorite.
