A few weekends ago I picked up this small platter at a church rummage sale. It was marked 10 cents but we arrived after 12 pm when everything was marked half price. I'd been looking for a plate to give a spray paint treatment to and for 5 cents, I thought this would be a good piece to try. It sat around for a few weeks while I was in my slump. I finally decided to give it a little attention last night. So I spray painted it as I planted flowers. Result:
Little pieces of dirt on the plate. You can't really tell they are there unless you look closely so I left it as is. Tonight I looked through my paper/crafting supplies for something to embellish the plate. I found some rub-ons I picked up at Michaels for $1 awhile back. Final result:
Just a little more quick, cheap wall art :o)

Oooh pretty!
Wow Nichole! That is awesome. The plate looks beautiful. You have a great eye for making things over!
Oh that is beautiful!
What type of paint did you use? I really like the final results.
Oh, before I forget...what is the name of the Swedish pancake mix that you found on a blog?
Thank you for stopping by my blog, leaving a comment and being eligible for my birthday blog drawing!
Taking a break from house cleaning while listening to Dr. Laura.
Break is over!
Thank you for the link for the pancake mix. Have a great weekend!
Love it! It turned out so cute!
I have an award for you over at my blog!
Cool project! I really wish we lived close. I could learn a lot from you about craftiness. The house will come when the time is right and you will appreciate it much more than some who take their homes for granted.
That is so cute!! Love your shelf!! ;)
