I have decided to start a series of posts dedicated to items
that are repurposed. I just love turning
something into something else. It really keeps my brain moving and more importantly
allows me to live Green. Recently I found a stack of chargers for $1 each and
bought several. I forgot to take a photo
of the charger pre-redo but here is what it looked like (excepted it was
scratched up).
The first thing I did was spray paint the top with a primer.
The next step was to paint the edge with light blue followed by a light spray of looking glass spray paint and then a light green spray paint. I painted the center with chalkboard paint and added interested with specks of the light blue paint by dabbing on with a dry brush. I completed the center with a happy message using liquid chalk. Unfortunately I did not photograph any of those steps. Sorry :(. But here is the final product.
Thanks for visiting,
Hi Deborah! You were the link before me on The Sunday Showcase Party at Under the Table and Dreaming. I just wanted to stop by to say what a cute repurpose! At first I thought you were talking about chargers as in phone, computer, ipod, etc... and was so confused! But, I caught on (obviously). Just a great project! Keep it up!
