This thingy-ma-bob was just what I needed to complete one wall in the craft room. I wish I new what this starburst like piece was originally used for. I found it while picking at my grandpa’s antique store in a pile of old metal odds and ends. With a little spray paint and some cute decorated clothespins, it quickly was given a new purpose to display some favorite photos in the craft room.
It was a bit moldy and rusty so I just cleaned it up a bit to prep it for it’s new life!
Add a coat of primer to each side.
From rusty, moldy, gold to shiny silver…it actually looks pretty just like this but why not top it off with some cute clips and photos that I can change regularly 🙂
Now to JAZZ up some clothespins…
Add a coat of spray paint to each side.
Gather some papers, stickers, and trim. Cut paper to the size of the clip and adhere on both sides.
Wrap with cute ribbons and trims. Then clip onto thing-ma-bob to hold photos and odds and ends! VOILA!!
And if you are wondering about the cute shelf to the left of my thingy-ma-bob… below is a before picture.
This also came from an old pile at my grandpa’s. I love the Pepsi on the side but it looked to dull for the craft room’s lime walls. It just needed a LOT of cleaning up, one coat of primer, and two coats of spray paint. Then I just screwed it right into the wall where I knew there was a stud. I just love the little cubby’s to hold mini scrapbook projects and small jars of craft knick-knacks. 🙂
