I saw a post on making a yarn ball so I decided to make a twine ball. And it worked perfectly!
You mix Elmers glue and water 50/50 and soak the yarn/string then wrap it around a cheap bouncy ball. I left it to dry about 24 hours. I didn't do it completely correct, I forgot to leave an opening to pull the deflated ball out so I ended up cutting the ball and throwing it away. You can also make a giant one of these and use it for a hanging lamp! So cool.
This little piece has been screaming for a makeover for a long time. I used Annie Sloan French Linen again and on the top I used Java Gel. This was my first time using java gel and I am in love! It went on smoothly and the color has great pigment.
I bought it from a shop that has long since closed. It was a wine cabinet, the 2 little shelves used to be made for wine bottles but donovan made shelves for it.
30 years. My house just turned 30 last year and it never had knobs in the laundry room. I can't tell you how many nails I have broken trying to open them!
I painted them with Annie Sloan chalk paint in French Linen and although I love the color I think $160 for 4 pints of paint is a bit steep. Ok, way steep.
But it's done and I finally have knobs and I love it!
I love finding old things and mixing them with new things. Rusty items with shiny items. Here is my newest find from my friends shop The Weathered Feather. I added the twine on the bottom to add a "shelf". ♡
