Pinterest Inspired Projects

 

I don't know about anyone else but when I get on

Pinterest

I am pretty much there ALL day!
I pin and like and search and follow

and comment.

AND quite honestly...

I {love} it.

While there are one million

other things I could be doing,

I somehow don't feel guilty

for trolling Pinterest hours on end

for a little "creative" block

inspiration.

 

This post won't be a tutorial

but should you have questions as to

how I created something via

my Pinterest inspiration or

wanting the links to the projects,

PLEASE feel free to leave a comment

and I will do my best to answer your

questions.

=)

 

So, via Pinterest inspiration here are a few

little morsels of goodness I created this

past week:

 

live laugh love

Repurposed Cabinet door turned

wall coat rack:

 

 

I gave new life to a cabinet door by sanding, painting, distressing, adding

spray painted knobs and spray painted chipboard lettering.

I've made a few of these before but not using chalk paint.

I made my own chalk paint using the recipe from the SNAP blog

for the door with flat white paint.

Live and love are Rustoleum's Dark Walnut.

Laugh and knobs are Krylon's Fern.

I distressed with fine sandpaper.

 

Wood Block Turkey's

Round and Square:

 

 

I bought the wood block pieces at Hobby Lobby.

They aren't too expensive. Look for sales and use your

coupons. They also have an app so put 'em on your

phone if you haven't yet! ;)

I painted them Bittersweet.

The feathers are made from tongue

depressors covered in scrapbook paper

using modpodge.

I hot glue them together and they stayed

put! Yay!

I hand painted the face on a paint stir stick

and tied a satin bow around the neck.

 

NOEL Stocking Hanger:

 

 

Another repurposed cabinet door this time

turned NOEL stocking hanger.

I saw a NOEL sign on Pinterest

and immediately fell in love.

I tweaked my a little though.

That way it's a little more original

and such a copy cat.

I painted it in an off-white chalk paint that

I made. I distressed with fine sandpaper for a

vintage look.

Drilled holes for knobs to hang stockings from.

And added chipboard NOEL letters spray

painted in Krylon's Burgundy.

It is pre-drilled for 6 stockings.

Only 2 knobs are shown.

 

So...whattya think?
