I used wood pieces from Hobby Lobby for the base and top. I decided to cover the oat container in burlap. I decided to add a stenciled design with coral paint which was inspired by this project:
Stenciled Storage Boxes |
I used the flower stencil (burlap storage box above) which I made using a transparency sheet for an overhead projector and my Silhouette Portrait. You can find out how I made the stencils in this blog post.
I was a little bit concerned that it would look weird because the design isn't symmetrical so when I moved the stencil I couldn't line up the flowers perfectly but I think it turned out just fine.
I sprayed the fabric with spray adhesive and then attached it to the oat container. I tucked the extra fabric on the top and bottom inside the container.
I then glued my wood pieces together with liquid nails. For the base I used two round plaques with a candle holder sandwiched between. For the top I use another round plaque and a finial on top. I got the idea for this from this post from the blog The Good Life.
Then I painted the base and the top with a vintage white craft paint. Next I attached the base and the top to the oat container with liquid nails. One thing that I wish I would of done is to put something inside the oat container to weigh it down a little bit before attaching the top, The holder is a little light even with the wood base and top.
Finally, I glued some lace ribbon at the top and bottom of the oat container to add a little more decoration to the holder.
Well that's all there was to it. It was a very cheap project as I already had many of the supplies on hand. I think I completed it for under $10.
Can you please advise what size the round plaques is.. Hobby lobby has a few sizes
ReplyDeleteI can't remember what size I ended up using. My intention was to take the oatmeal container along to Hobby Lobby to determine which size would be the best but I forgot it so I just ended up buying a couple of sizes to see which one worked the best.
