Thrifty Repurpose Fun for Barbie

In my most recent trip to the local thrift store, I came upon this "condiment holdler" well I am unsure what it was, but I instantly thought "dolls swing for the girls", so that is what it is....quite cute in the garden.

Found some more - Individual Cupcake Dessert Stands

Yep, three cute little glass plates I picked up at Vinnies, just had to be upcycled too...As per my previous post, these were just glued together

here they are glued to port glasses and an egg cup:





Repurposed glass platters - Cake stands galore

In my recent trips to Vinnies, I have found a wonderful assortment of glass plates, platters and port glasses that have frilled and decorative edges.  I even find the odd crystal glass and since I have trouble keeping all of my sets unbroken, the odd glass keeps my crystal collection the same size and with a unique combination.

So I saw these this week and new instantly they would make a beautiful tall glass cake stand/tier.

Before:

The glass plates and dessert bowls before....

After they have been glued together and my little 2yr old tot filled it up with lollies!!!

The frilled edges on the plate and dessert seem to go together really well...am excited with my DIY work today...more pretties!

Some more plates, bowls and glasses that I have collected over the past six months

I glued them all together and this is how it turned out....



No seriously now, I was playing with adobe and the "wavy" application sounded fun...

And so did this "blue omni light" application...thought it was quite cool!

But this is the real one...

 

I think this top piece really makes it special and unique...this will probably be a sweets platter for parties and little meringues or lollies can go in the top of even fresh flowers....can't wait to use it...

There is my dresser that I redid several months ago...I haven't yet posted the drawer handles I put on..they were from another dresser that was given to me.





Repurpose bacon tray.....

Cleaning out a cupboard this morning, I came across a "bacon defrosting tray" and I thought what a great little letter holder it would be....so painted it and all done.

Condiments tray repurposed

Unfortunately I only have the after shot of this cute little condiments tray...it was rusty silver and even had the original old old tag on it....but in my exitement to spray paint this little baby I forgot the before and after...might need to take photos as soon as I get home in future to solve this problem.

Anyway, it is the perfect egg carrier, to transport our homegrown boiled eggs (our main breakfast staple) to the table for everyone.

It makes the quick dash to the table (so the eggs don't get too hard) much much quicker...

Oh, how I do love repurposing!!!
