Turtle Door Stopper DIY -Thrift Store Upcycle
Love to browse thrift Stores to look for treasures that I can adapt to my house. On my last trip to our local thrift store I found awesome turtles! Love turtles! The ones I found seem actually pretty good the way there were but I thought I could give them a makeover and use them as door stoppers in my house. Not that I need to stop my doors but love to have fun accents around. I am thinking some rub on transfers accents… some MacKenzie Childs patterns. Are you ready for fun trash to treasure MacKenzie Childs inspired diy? Thrift store diy’s are my favorite! Let’s have fun turning my find into door stopper Time to bring rub on transfers and some gold for this diy and learn to to paint courtly check . Budget friendly diy
Supplies needed for this fun thrifted turtle diy
Let the thrift store turtle makeover begin!
As you can see that they look pretty good and I am positive they would make some fun garden decor too but you know me .. I love to experiment!
Love turtles and love to have them around. I am on the hunt to find this one with pattern in it like in a picture on the side. I know I will find it one day but in a meantime I will add my own patterns
There are so many ways i want to decorate those turtles to fit my home decor. If you follow me for some time you know I love MacKenzie Childs patterns so I know one will be made that way.
Love to give thrift store finds new look .. Here is my favorite basket. Make sure to check details about that project HERE. As we everything it all started a bit different but I am super pleased with outcome
As with everything .. its time to cover this vibrant color on turtle shell. Chalk paint was my choice since I wanted to possibly leave turtle feet same
I think for now it was best to leave head and feet not painted. Let the project pick next step
Couple coats of chalk paint and little bit of planning and my turtle was one. Make sure to watch video below on all details about this project Learn how to paint courtly check… my favorite MacKenzie inspired pattern
I truly feel my trash to treasure door stopper looks perfect with a bit of gold leaf action.
i was thinking at some point throughout this project to add a rub on transfer but then I remembered I have one more turtle
