Refresh an old eucalyptus tree

After

Before

I wanted to throw out this eucalyptus tree I have had  for a really long time and decided to give it new life by spray painting the container and replacing the moss with an updated new color. The leaves are delicate to clean, so use a spray duster canister.

You just need these basic jewelry tools (long nose pliers, round nose pliers and cutting pliers.)

Repaint old pottery!

After

Before

Wayyyyyyy long ago, I made this in college. It started looking ancient and I was just about to kick it to the curb for someone else to pick up or pass up. I got out my red spray paint and gave it one good coat. After it dried, I brushed on water-downed black latex paint and quickly wiped it off with a wet rag. Looks better, I guess it's a keeper for now!

Candlesticks customized to fit your color scheme!

These were unfinished wood candlesticks where I brushed on latex paint (any craft paint works well too) and immediately used a damp rag to wipe off. When dry, I brushed on gold craft paint in random areas and also used a damp rag to wipe off. The trick to this project is to work fast!

A great gift idea too!

The perfect quilted table scarf!

This lovely table scarf was quilted by my mom.

Quilting is one of her gifted passions!

A coffee table makeover...Finally!

 

After 28 years of scrapes and dents, I sanded the top down to the bare wood, gave it a stain and put several coats of polyurethane.. I spray painted the bottom black and distressed it with the sander and gave it a couple of coats of paste wax. New again!

Matching aprons...a fun sewing project!

Create something fun to wear for your little girl and her doll with matching aprons. I took an adult size apron pattern and sized it down to a girl size and then did a lot of guess work and made a doll one too. This is a nice gift idea and something a little girl will cherish!
