Shutters: Decor and Pinterest Inspired Storage
The project that inspired my creation was Washi Tape Storage using a shutter created by Crafting in the Rain. Thank you to Steph for sharing her wonderful idea! I went to the ReCONNstruction store (the same place I purchased the window for my picture project) and found two shutters. I used one for my Pinterest Inspired Project and the other as a decoration. I painted the Washi Tape shutter white and used paper clips to hang the rolls of Washi!
The second shutter I painted grey with the intention of painting a white coat over it. This would allow me to distress the shutter to make it look old. As I began painting the white coat I realized that light brush strokes gave it the old look I wanted, which eliminated sanding and distressing. I love how the shutter matches the background in the spring school photographs.
Happy Pinspiring,
That is awesome, Leslie! Now I have to be on the lookout for an old shutter...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so cool. When I saw it on pinterest I had to replicate it.
DeleteThat is awesome I love also how it matches the school photos! And all that tape looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexis. I loved that the photos had shutters in the background. Thanks for visiting and for your kind words.
DeleteNice job. Creative and cute solutions.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Always nice to have inspiration.
Deletethese are wonderful! I love the idea of using one for washi tape and the added décor behind the photos is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks Raechelle. When I saw the Washi tape idea I had to make one.
Deletethis is a really good idea for storing washi tape.
ReplyDeleteYes Katie. And fun!
DeleteSuch a great way to store washi, Leslie! I'd lean toward making the home decor shutter because I only have three rolls of washi. LOL!
ReplyDeleteReally Lisa! Do you like Washi? Yeah - guess you don't need it for Washi storage but can even be used for ribbon.
