Hey, everyone! It’s Rachel from Tea and Forget-Me-Nots blogging here. We love to re-purpose mass-merchandised home decor to our own styles. Today we’re going to upcycle an old art sign into a festive home decor piece.
Materials for this project:
- Dried Sage Chalk Mineral Paint
- Evergreen and Holly Transfer
- Barn Red Chalk Mineral Paint
- Clear Coat in Flat
How To Upcycle Old Art Into New Holiday Decor:
Step 1: Prepare the piece
First, I used a Key Holder that I bought from a discount store. I wanted to transform this into a tray, so I took off the hooks before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Paint a base color
Secondly, I painted the bottom using Dried Sage Chalk Mineral Paint, while also leaving some parts distressed.
Step 3: Add transfer of choice
Then I added the Evergreen and Holly Transfer to give it some Holiday charm!
Step 4: Finish off the design
Next, I wanted to add some Christmas words, so I painted “Merry Christmas” on the tray with some Barn Red Chalk Mineral Paint.
Step 5: Seal with a durable top coat
After that, I sealed the Christmas Tray with Clear Coat in Flat.
Step 6: Add method for hanging (optional)
Lastly, I added black handles to the sides and then tied a festive ribbon onto them for decoration.
