This project is proof that you can find interesting castoffs at Goodwill and repurpose them into something completely different and useful! Once upon a time, this box proudly held someone’s CDs. It was functional, but far from pretty.
To make this flower box, the first thing I did was remove the black plastic holders. It was surprisingly easy!
Then I painted the outside of the box in Old White Chalk Paint. One side at a time, I stenciled a design with red and turquoise craft paint.
When all the sides were painted and dry, I lightly distressed with sandpaper.
Finally I added three large blue mason jars that I got from a yard sale a few weeks ago – and filled them with faux stems from Hobby Lobby.
It’s so pretty – I love it now! Who would ever suspect this box’s former purpose?
Is there anything you’ve bought at Goodwill and repurposed into something else?
Bonus points for extra creativity! 😉
