I was totally inspired by
this post by Dee, about using a tray from the thrift store as a magnet board. This wasn't however what I had in mind while searching for one. I was looking for something that might look good with a makeover of mod podge and fabric, but I loved the design on this one so much I didn't have the heart to cover it up - so the hunt goes on. This lives in my pantry now, the perfect place for my shopping list and recipes to try. Things I want handy but not necessarily on the fridge for all to see. For a hanger I used "liquid nails" and a pull tab from a tin can. I have a warning though, while you wait for the "liquid nails" to dry to leave it anywhere near a curious five year old, needless to say it doesn't look as neat on the back as I would have hoped - lucky it's just the back huh?
See that little certificate at the bottom? Well I recently made a scarf for
my neighbour from her Angora rabbit homespun yarn and at a national rabbit show she went to, entered it into the knit/crochet garment section. It won first prize! I was certainly amazed as I didn't even know that she was entering it. What a nice surprise.
wow, congrats on first prize! that's wonderful
ReplyDelete...and lucky you for finding a tin tray (that doesn't have a christmas scene on it!!)..i'm kind of addicted to using them as magnet boards (http://dee-construction.blogspot.com/2010/06/homecoming.html) so am always on the look out :)
