It's Time for Silver
Supplies: Glue Gun, Trays, Distressing Kit, Paint, Found Objects, Imagination, Friend
- First Gather your Silver Trays, I've been collecting them over the Fall at garage sales and was lucky to find a good assortment.
- Then, Bring your found items in. I used buttons, clock faces, watch parts, handles, knobs, keys...you get the idea. I collected parts from my mom and grandfathers watch and clock repair parts. Lots of pieces and parts that we were hoarding!
- Next glue, I used a glue gun and then a heavy duty glue for my heavier pieces
- Gather your friend(s). I had my daughter KiKi. She has an eye for design
- Design...With the trays on the table we came up with our designs, some came quickly, while others just needed more tweaking.
- Share a memory. We talked about nothing and everything...a fun day and we completed presents for all the men in the family.
- I get a tray, clean it and place my assortment of gathered finds
I glue the back of the piece in place, if you place it in the wrong place you can peal it up and start over!
Since my brother works on cars I had to look for car related items and found this get odometer!
