Junk Drawers FEATURED....
do you think people coming to our garage sale will pay me to haul off our junk if it is in pretty drawers ?
Found three boxes at the Wednesday 25¢ Sale at Finds Thrift ... not really a drawer, but they will work. Saved me making them! After I painted my mirror ... had paint left, so painted the drawers.
(oops, forgot to add the knob) ... oh well. 
(Just had to add a knob ... funky and off to the side ... but cute !)
I bought a Silhouette Cameo stencil cutter with some of my Christmas money and today, I set my mind to try to learn how to use it. I had tried to cut stencils before ... did research, but I was not getting it ! Finally called Support and was able to cut a stencil. I wanted something simple ... so chose JUNK drawer.
I wanted to do a sign like Angie at Knick of Time does, but that is a little bit complicated. Check out her signs ... love them and she sells some of them. I will learn how to do that too.
I had some just regular household clear contact paper, so that is what I used. It worked ...
I used both the positive and the negative parts of the stencil
Using just the individual letters; I dry-brushed white over them, letting the green show. The white letters were done with the stencil. Was able to use them a couple of times. The paper was pretty thin and flimsy, but the more paint I got on it the better it was. I was pretty happy with the results.I think it made pretty cute Junk drawers. I was not too careful with the paint or the lettering, because ... they are what they are ... junk drawers.
? Would you buy one of my 'junk drawers' full of goodies ?
Thanks for your visit.
Hope you enjoyed my JUNK story.
Blessings,
Audrey

I think that's a really great idea and I probably would buy them full of junk. Pretty colours! I keep wondering if I would really use one of those cutters. Mostly I wonder if I'd ever figure out how to use it. LOL
ReplyDeleteHope you write a bit more about the cutter. Using, figuring out, making ...?
ReplyDeleteVery nice junk drawers. Just right.

Clever idea those junk drawers are! I would buy them full of your junk.
ReplyDeleteAudrey!! LOVE these sweet drawers!! So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
Adorable! SO copying this!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea with the drawers! Such a creative way to decorate. I am a new follower from southern charm! I would love for you to stop by my blog and hopefully you will want to follow me back! Nicole
ReplyDeleteSuch a darling idea about the junk drawers! I might buy one just to get the drawer!! Hope you do well at your garage sale. Nancy
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this, Audrey! I am definitely going to have to do something like this in my home :) You are so creative - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
I would buy one, love this idea! How cute and creative!
ReplyDeleteAudrey the drawers are very cute. I like them stacked too.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely buy one of your junk drawers ... with or without the junk! They're so cute. Love the color, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors Audrey and the lettering is so cute. Thanks so much for stopping by my kitchen, you are always welcome :))) Love the drawers. I keep promising I'm going to letter something up one day. I sure like yours!!
ReplyDeleteAudrey, they turned out so adorable!! I knew you would make something wonderful when you got a Silhouette! I'm looking forward to seeing many more cool projects that you'll create. I'll be featuring you next week at Knick of Time!
ReplyDeleteI would buy one of your junk drawers full of junk. I would have to hide it though because I am trying to clear out my own and DH would never understand me hauling some in the back door as I am hauling mine out the front :0
ReplyDeleteGood thing we aren't neighbors.
I wish I could be first in line for your sale. Great job on the stencils - I love the font you chose. This is a genius idea to corral a bunch of smalls and sell as one item. I am afraid I might just borrow that idea for my booth!
ReplyDeleteAudrey - I would buy them with or without junk in them. Those are so cute! You did an awesome job.

ReplyDeleteI would snap them up! Bravo Audrey!! They are just awesome...love the off-centred knob!:)

That's a great idea! Who doesn't love a junk drawer! You'll have to let us know how they sell. Congrats on successfully tackling the Silhouette Cameo. I'd love to have one of those. Looks like it's worth the learning curve.
ReplyDeleteLiz
Are you kidding me..?..why, I would buy every drawer you had at your sale WITHOUT other treasures in them. They are adorable...
ReplyDeleteI so wish I lived close enough to come to your sale! I love your drawers, what a great idea!

These are awesome Audrey! You know I love stenciling.
ReplyDeleteI just got my silhouette and love it! Great idea to use the negative and positive parts of the stencil (and my junk drawer is overflowing)!
