Lazy Susan Tiered Tray

Hey friends! I’m sharing this quick, easy lazy Susan project today! I found a cute wood tiered tray set from Dollar Tree for $5.00. I had been wanting a lazy Susan for my craft room for some time now. I saw this tray and immediately got the idea to DIY my own. Check it out below to see how quick and easy it is!

You only need a tiered tray, lazy Susan hardware, & hot glue. That’s it!

Here’s the dollar store tray. Super cute right? Totally inexpensive. I found the lazy Susan hardware on amazon for $9 (similar linked on photo). I centered the hardware and marked the outside holes for placement reference. I hot glued the rubber non skip pads to the metal first. I then placed glue on top of those pieces and affixed it to the wood using my marked reference guides. Be careful not to get glue in between the metal pieces or it won’t spin correctly. Here it is all finished!

This came together quickly and for about $15 total. Super happy to have it here at my desk for quick and easy access to my tools!

Hope you enjoyed this little project, and you get inspired to make one for yourself!

Thrifted Sewing Chair Make-Over

Hello & Welcome Back! Can we just talk about this chair make-over for a minute??? I mean…I just love the finished project!! I have my great, great grandmother’s Singer sewing machine that I made over a few years ago when I first received it. I didn’t have a chair to go with it and have been searching for the perfect piece…I finally found it!

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know how much I love thrifting!! I cam across this chair at the Goodwill and although the seat was hideous, the bones were great! At only $9.99, I knew I had to have it.

I started by removing the legs & seat cover, then I gave the frame a good cleaning with soap & water. After it was completely dry, I added a coat of white chalk paint & a matte sealer to help keep scuffs & nicks away. I had this gorgeous 1 yard cut of material stashed away in my cabinet that I thought would be so perfect.

I cut away the dirty fabric & since my cushion was in good shape still, all I had to do was wrap my material around and staple it down. See the final piece below. Such a transformation!

I hope you love this piece as much as I do! Don’t be scared to shop the thrift stores, you just might find exactly what you’re looking for.

Metal Scrap Bucket DIY

Hi friends! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas & a Happy New Year! Over the holidays I worked on a few small projects which I’ll be sharing here. First thing i needed was a new scrap bucket for my craft room. Check out below for my supplies & pics! This is a super easy & quick project that anyone can do!

I was in Hobby Lobby shopping for Fall decor and came across some cute little galvanized buckets. I grabbed one then headed to the unfinished wood for some pieces that would work for legs. I’ve linked a few here that would work great with this project.

I spray painted my bucket with a can of white chalk paint and used yellow craft paint for the legs.

After it all dried, I attached the legs with E6000, & made a little mini bunting to hang across the front.

All done & super cute!
