I’ve already done an old pitcher and it turned out just as good as this shell.
First, visit your local thrift store and keep your eyes open for something with a great shape, but really tired and outdated colors and patterns.I think these types of jars were often used in the 70’s as kitchen canisters, so they seem pretty easy to find.. Something like this:.
Next, you’ll want to clean it up really well.Use soap and water and then dry thoroughly.Finish up with a bit of rubbing alcohol to really get the grease off.. Make sure it’s super dry!.
Or don’t.. Here’s what happens if you spray paint over areas where there are still some water drops.. It’s actually kind of a neat, crackly-aged look, but it was totally a mistake.I just left it though, because whatever.
Now I kinda like it.. OK, so for real, it’s time to spray paint now..
Separate your lid and your jar and place them on some newspaper or an old box or something outside.. You’ll need to do about 3 really light coats to get a nice even finish.I know this is one I definitely should do soon.. How about you?
Do you have any tried and true methods for living in peace with your mischievous kitties?How do you keep your cats and your house plants happy too?Is it too early to start with the Christmas projects still?.
Well, you’ll have to forgive me, but this baby might decide to be born any minute now, so I’m trying to get a bit of a jump start on things this year.So you can stop throwing things at me.
