Hey hey!! I’m back this week with another episode of Fearless DIY on The Design Network!!
There are a few things that you are guaranteed to find at the thrift store. 1. Used candles. 2. Horrifying toys. 3. Bad art. Its just the way that it is. I mean, is a thrift store even a thrift store if there isn’t strange art involved?
This fun project will have you looking at thrift store art completely different.
I recently inherited a stack of art from my girls’ elementary (the perks of having a MIL that works at the school). It was part of the curriculum ages ago and they found it cleaning out one of the storage closets. There are some that I love as is (like the one I used on this shelf) and there are a lot that are not so much my taste. Those ones are the kind you’ll want for this project.
You can watch the full tutorial here (also it wasn’t until I watched the video again this morning that I noticed that I have a piece of painters tape stuck to my butt at the end. #reallife.)
I WANT that desk!! Loved the episode!
Ok, I’m totally hooked on your videos. You are so damn cute and funny! Love this project because I wasn’t sure where you were going with it when you only taped off one section on the painting. LOVED how you did the rest of the letter on the blank painted part instead of using the painting for the entire letter. Once again, you rock, Mandi!
Love it! I NEED some of that tape!!!
Loving this series!
I am literally in love with this tutorial! I’m actually typing this as I run out the door to pick up the vomit-worthy op-shop (thrift store in AUS) painting I saw yesterday. Yay!
O.
Absolutely amazing! I love love LOVE the idea of taking thrift store art and making it something unique and you. Might just pick up a few pieces when I’m out thrifting next to give some of this a shot! Thanks for sharing!
Very cool- I’m glad that you had a video tutorial to explain how you did this. Now just trying to figure out how to do the letter ‘B’…?!
You had me at the gold tape! What a clever way to upcycle unwanted art.
I believe I have an old art piece that I can upcycle with this idea. Thank you for sharing this tip!
This is such a cool idea.. I love it already and I’m already thinking about my next project.You can even do this with a painting you’ve done yourself before.. so excited
Also, love the intro.. you go a pretty diy handy little girl there 🙂
