Recycle Repurpose Project ~~ Display Sign & Story Board ~~ easy skill level, and I might add economical. Skill level probably about 4th grade maybe 3rd grade. Cost of each project under $5.00. I am going to use these in my office studio and as display in my booth at the local antique mall.
Project 1, Display Sign: Love My Shoes
I bought the wicker frame at a thrift store yesterday $2.00. Spiffed it up meaning wiped it off. I added paper on the cardboard inside. I already had the shoe stickers $1.00 from the Dollar Tree. I stuck them on. I don't measure, I eyeball. Fast, easy, simple. I will hang that in my vintage booth where I sell vintage inspired clothing & vintage accessories.
Project 2, Story Board: Collar & Gloves Display -- vintage
I saw this idea in a store. I bought the bulletin board at the same thrift store yesterday $2.00. I used my Benjamin Moore paint sample (already on hand) & sponge painted the outside edges green. I used part of the roll of vintage drawer liner that I had bought recently at another thrift store $1.00. I thumb tacked it on. For the fabric, I just used pins to hold them in place. The collars and gloves are vintage and I have had them for years some of them from my Mom. I think a vintage hanky display would look nice too. This is in my studio for now but will probably end up in my vintage booth at the mall.
For me, I do not live in a formal world where things are perfect or near perfect. I live in an informal cottage world where part of the charm is imperfections. At least in my opinion. And also, I am not an exact type person when it comes to these type projects. So feel free to use these project ideas & make them better.
