Doin' Some More DIY

I finally got some more projects done. 

Homespun trashcan - I bought a metal bucket from Lowe's then distressed it soaking it in white vinegar for 24 hours. I had to soak the bottom then turn it over and soda the top. I layered blue checked homespun on top of a strip of burlap and tied in front. Indie glue the burlap to the bucket to keep in place. I may add some pip berries to front.

After

Tissue Box Cover - I picked up an unfinished tissue box cover from Michael's and painted it with cream chalk paint and distressed with dark brown chalk wax. I took a strip of blue check homespun and tied around box and hung a red star from it. Looks pretty good. 



Frame - I also bought am unfinished wooden frame from Hobby Lobby. I painted with cream chalk paint then distressed with dark brown wax. I used to reframe a Paula Vaughan cross stitch picture I did awhile ago. I may add some pip berries to frame to give a prim look to it.
