Thrifted Sunflower Washboard Makeover
I absolutely love old washboards, and when I found this one at a thrift store, I knew I had to grab it. This one isn’t old, but it has the look of an old one and I knew I could give it a makeover without ruining an actual vintage washboard. I wanted something bright and fun, so I decided to I’ve this a sunflower theme. It is something that can be kept out all year, which is always a win! Please follow along with this Thrifted Sunflower Washboard Makeover, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Supplies:
Thrifted Washboard
Yellow & White Paint
Antique Wax
Sunflower Napkin
Small Sunflowers – Hobby Lobby
Magnets
Sandpaper
First, I removed the top section of the washboard that had the writing on it, and gave it a coat of white paint.
Second, I used Mod Podge to secure the sunflower napkin down.
Third, I gave the entire frame of the washboard a coat of the yellow paint.
Fourth, I put the napkin covered piece back into the washboard.
Fifth, I lightly sanded around all of the edges of the washboard, then gave a coat of Antique Wax to those areas.
Sixth, I took the three small sunflowers I found at Hobby Lobby and glued a magnet to the back of each of them.
Finally, I placed the magnetic sunflowers the the metal part of the washboard.
Here it is all finished, how do you think it came out? I absolutely love this craft, it came out exactly how I thought it would when I found this washboard at the thrift store. When my thrift store finds come out better than I envisioned, I couldn’t be happier, and that’s just what happened with this Thrifted Sunflower Washboard Makeover craft. It’s so bright, and cheerful, it just brightens up the room! I hope you liked this project as much as I did putting it together, and maybe try one too!
