I finally turned a little shelf I had been hanging onto, into something beautiful that I wanted to show off. This little thrift store shelf was brought back to life with a few supplies that most crafters already have at home.

Description

I finally turned a little shelf I had been hanging onto, into something beautiful that I wanted to show off. This little thrift store shelf was brought back to life with a few supplies that most crafters already have at home.

Instructions

  1. Small 2019 01 17 121144 img 5529

    Make sure your shelf is clean by wiping off any dirt and dust.

  2. Small 2019 01 17 121505 img 5553

    Give the shelf a fresh coat of paint.

    When the paint was dry, I used paper towels to get the shapes of the inserts I would be needing for the shelf.

    Use the paper towel guides to cut out your craft paper.

    Use Mod Podge to add the craft paper. I set a book on the paper until it was completely dry.

    I added a layer of Mod Podge over the craft paper also.
