Another Thrift Store Bread Box Makeover

The last two weeks have been busy working on Fall projects for a quickly approaching craft show, keeping my booth at the antique mall stocked and tidy and working on custom barb wire wreaths for a wedding in Colorado.   I have fit in some time to do a couple thrift store makeovers too. Here are two of them.  

 

I know, another bread box.

It seems I run across these often and they always sell quickly, so why not.

 

The first project is the marriage of an old wood candle holder and a cheese cloche.

They are glued and screwed together and painted black.

 

The bread box was taken apart and it got a new coat of black paint, new black hinges,

a new back and a new piece of glass in the door.

 

In the past I have replaced the glass with a piece of thin wood and painted the word BREAD on it, but this time I decided to use glass and etch the word BREAD into it.

 

 

 

 

I created a stencil with my Silhouette Cameo and used Armour Etch Cream

as directed on the bottle to complete the etching.

This is my 2nd time using this product. The first time was on a mirror.

You can see how the mirror turned out here.

 

 

 

The etching is permanent and washable,

 which works out great, being that most bread boxes are kept in a kitchen.

 

 

I reused the plastic corners that were holding in the original piece of glass.

By the way, I got the new piece of glass, cut to size, at Lowes for $2.43.

I did not know they cut small pieces of glass there, but now I do.

I also purchased two new black hinges while I was there.

I replaced the backing with a new piece of thin wood painted black.

 

 

 

 

Then I put the bread box back together.

 

 

 

You can see some of the other thrift store and bread box makeovers

that I've completed here and here.

 

 

I hope you are having a great week.

Have you completed any thrift store makeovers lately?

I'd love to hear about what you did.

 

 

'til next time,
