\"Upcycled<\/p>\n

Do you follow us on Instagram or Facebook? Well…I posted a quick and easy up cycled table and holy cow I was a little overwhelmed with emails and questions on how I did it. So…here ya go! This one is easy I promise.<\/p>\n

I had an old Singer sewing machine base, you probably have one or have seen one in a garage sale.<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/p>\n

I also had an electrical spool and a thought (my hubby hates when I get “a though”)\"Electrical<\/p>\n

This one was an easy up cycle and fun!<\/p>\n

We painted the base, and truth is we spray painted it (yes, gasp, I still spray paint things) I totally could have used my FAT Paint<\/a> or Fusion<\/a>, but seriously, all the little intricate details in the base would have been forever, so I grabbed my black Rustoleum and just sprayed it. I always say, use what you have and no 1 paint is good for every job. Case in point.<\/p>\n

Mr FPM took the electrical spool apart and I sanded the top with my favourite Ryobi Hand Sander \u00a0and sides to make it smooth and to remove the “electric” wording, however, you could leave that on.<\/p>\n

\"Sanding<\/p>\n

I stained the top with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint Curio<\/a>, used as a stain. I mixed about 3 parts water to 1 part paint. Easy. Peasy.<\/p>\n

\"Stain<\/p>\n

I then used my FAT Paint in Raven<\/a> to stencil the cool Antique sign on it. This is one of the awesome stencils from our Funky Junk Stencil Signs. LOVE this stencil. A lot. Big Love. Really. A lot. (We do carry these at Front Porch Mercantile for those asking)<\/p>\n

\"Funky<\/p>\n

Mr FPM attached the spool to the top and I used our MMS hemp oil <\/a>to protect it and make pretty. I LOVE hemp oil. Just LOOK at the difference hemp oil makes! (Side note…I tried to do my first Periscope live as I did this, and well, I apologize if you were one of the 8 people that saw that fiasco. I can’t video and paint or hemp, lesson learned) :)<\/p>\n

\"Hemp<\/p>\n

We used the original little cups in the bolt holes. I just glued them in. And there you have it.<\/p>\n

All done.<\/p>\n

Easy. Peasy. Told ya.<\/p>\n

\"Upcycled<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think it turned out pretty cool. I had not seen one like this before but have since seen a few. I think its quirky and fun. It’s now available at our shop<\/a>. Come and have a visit.<\/p>\n
