Yard Sale Finds: Vases
I love going to yard sales! They're like a treasure hunt for me. I am always looking for anything that I can completely redo. My most recent obsession is vases! I always find them in different shapes, sizes, and colors and I can always get a great deal! The last couple times I went yard sailing treasure hunting I found a bunch of vases.
I got four of the tall vase on the left for 25 cents a piece and I found two of the short vase on the right in a free bin of the first yard sale that day. I believe I told my mom, "The early bird gets the worm!" (:
As soon as I got home I started painting! I was inspired by this pin on Pinterest.
I used Craftsmart paint from Michael's that I bought on sale and went to town! This is what I came up with.
My wonderful boyfriend, Mack, inspired my second vase painting. While talking one day he mentioned it would be fun to get a fish, well that little fish will need a home wont he? (: I give you my fish palace!
I tried to leave plenty of open space to see the fish once inside! My favorite part is the seaweed at the bottom.
So what do you think? What do you like to buy at yard sales? What is the craziest thing you've ever seen at a yard sale? Do you also feel like you're on a treasure hunt?
Happy Crafting!
