Just a Touch of Rusty Crusty!

Hello, Glitterinas!

I am so glad you are here!

I am using the lid to an old,

rusty roaster pan.....

to make something decorative and 

interesting!

I began by spraying this 

old, rusty piece a matte white.....

several coats were needed.

Then I wrote 

"love".....

I wanted to tie something interesting 

onto the small handle.

I decided to start with raffia.

I have loved using raffia for years and years....

my friend, Ginger, can vouch for this.

Do you still use raffia, Ginger?

Then maybe some burlap ribbon.

This ribbon is very stiff and a good choice 

for exterior use......

I think I'll just use 

a short piece instead of a bow.

I wanted a button or some small "thing"

to go on top of the ribbon....

.....as I went through my stash, I found this....

......a rusty, crusty piece of a hinge.

Perfection!

Now I'll tie all the parts together using some

wired raffia....great stuff!

Then attach the raffia piece to the handle.

I like it!

Do you like it, Glitterinas?

Now, let's go outside and see what it 

looks like in the metal basket 

where I want to use it.....

fingers crossed....

Well, there it is!

One man's trash 

is

another man's treasure.

That phrase certainly applies here!

Do you have a 

rusty, crusty, old piece 

that is just waiting to become 

something fun, Glitterinas?

Thank you so much for 

opening and reading 

this post from 

Pink Glitter!

I am always glad 

when you stop by.....

....leave me a note so I'll know you

were here!  Thanks.

Until next time,

Tammy
