Altered Art.
One of my favorite things to do . . . take something ordinary and turn it into a piece of art you want to display in your house.
I recently bought a printing press drawer to turn into a huge piece of wall art. I had been eyeing them in some of the magazines and scrapbooking stores, but they didn't really interest me until lately. So, when I ran across one in our local consignment shop, I decided it's coming home with me. I think this Saturday I'm going to tackle it, so wish me luck!
The letters I have on this post today were done for two of my nieces. I tied them to their Christmas presents last year instead of gift tags.
I raided my scrapbooking paper scrap box to cover them and added some rub-ons, ribbons, and embellishments.
The letters were wooden letters I bought at Walmart, painted out black, and covered. I used a layer of Mod Podge to protect the papers and give them more durability.
These look pretty sitting on a shelf in a room, hanging on the wall, or tucked in a bookcase.
Hopefully after this Saturday, I'll have some pictures to add on here of my first attempt at altering my printing press drawer.
oh gosh is this awesome!
