A return to crafting

So...March was National Craft Month...I made a commitment to do something crafty every day and blog about all my crafting endeavors, and it was going to be awesome and wonderful.

Yeah.

Didn't happen.

While I didn't stick to my craft-a-day plan, I did partake in some very fun projects (and have been slacking off in the blogging department). I've decided that I enjoy reworking things rather than creating new stuff...like, we're talking if I were a crafting superhero, I'd make my name something like "The Refashioner" or "Refurnishista" or something like that. Yeah, I know, I know...totally awesome, right? Heehee

So, what awesome remake am I sharing today? These guys:


Yeah, pretty hideous. However, when you see hooks like these marked down to a couple dollars, it'd be a shame to let someone else buy them and possibly NOT make them look un-hideous, right? That's my calling in life, saving the world, one discount decor item at a time...

So how to fix? Not gonna lie, I was feeling lazy - so, bring out the spray paint!


I debated for quite some time what vinyl image I wanted to put on these beauties...lots and lots of hemming and hawing...certainly more uncertainty than necessary. BUT, the one positive thing about vinyl stickers is that you can change em out whenever you like!


A little generic, but still pretty cute, right?

  1. Wow...what a change! These could hang in a high end dress shop...definitely. Wonderful improvement over "strange floral icky color" hooks.
