First was sanding the surface and removing the design...
I then painted some of the shapes different colours while leaving some spots au natural - those areas I added oil to in order to bring out the grain.
Once the paint dried I added a couple of coats of varathane. And then I turned my updated earrings into buttons. I drilled a small hole into the back then I screwed in eyelets. Easy peasy!
And here they are done! Not sure what I'll use them for - maybe a scarf, maybe a pillow cover. Who knows! But they are darn cute and funsie!
A quick how to... I love cheap and easy DIY updates!
And yup... I started painting more thrift store finds. These are nearly done. One more coat of varathane then they're good to go!
Next I'm working on Xmas projects for upcoming workshops. I have four Crafternoons in November and one in December. Next month will be busy!
