Hello, Crafty Peeples!
Sharing a project I created for my Crafter's Info Blog
Last week, I decided that I am going to up-cycle everything that is connected to my disease and its treatment. Because my Potassium levels tend to dip to unacceptable levels, I eat a lot of bananas. It was while reaching for one of those bananas for my smoothie, it occurred to me that everything I touch that relates to my illness is so very drab. I decided to change that. This banana stand is the first item to be dressed up. In a day or two, I shall have another.
This week's challenge is: Upcycle a common household item.
We all have things around the house that could use a little Spring sprucing up. I have decided to spruce up anything that is remotely connected to my illness.
I eat a lot of Bananas because I NEVER want to have to take potassium again. NASTY!
THIS IS MY UPCYCLED BANANA STAND
Supplies:
Banana Stand
Napkins
Chalk or Acrylic Paint
Decoupage Glue
Matte Varnish
Bananas
Disassemble and Wash thoroughly with warm soapy water.
I allowed mine to air dry for a day before I started painting.
No one has entered a project in the challenge in the last couple of challenges, so I am not setting up a link. If you decide to upscale one of your household items and want to share it with me, you can enter it here - Never Ending Challenge
Have A Fabulous Week!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea, I happen to have a banana hanger made for me years ago by a custom mill co-worker when these first came out. Love it, hugs, Lori m
