Thrift Store Swap... 4th Of July Wall Art and Lace Frame
A few months ago I joined a group on FB. That is where I met these ladies!
One of them had the idea to host a swap. I jumped on board, it sounded fun to me.
We each shopped our local thrift shops and bought items totaling under $10, then we shipped them to someone else in the swap.
Each of us created something with our new thrifted items!
I'm excited to show you what I got and what I did with them...
Seven fabulous ladies have gotten together for an amazing event...

I will post about each of these items to show you my process, but here they are at a quick glance...
I got my items from Betsy of
(we both were in the works of moving during this whole thing... craziness!)
I got a board with some paper and flowers on it...
I also got this simple picture frame. It's just fine on it's own. I had to think about how I could not just paint this item, but transform it somehow.
I found the perfect sized lace in my stash and decided to cover it with the lace.
Super cute right?
I also got a fabric covered cork board. I didn't want to cover that with new fabric until after the move... not sure where to put it, not sure what fabric to use... you know. When I find that packed item, and recover it I'll show you!
I want to thank these fabulous ladies for this idea! It was a fun way to stretch my creativity and think outside the box.
Enjoy jumping around to see what these other creative ladies have done!
