Holy moly have I been lucky while thrifting lately! I noticed that most of my finds are about $5.00, so I thought I’d put together a quick round-up of my most recent five dollar thrift store transformations.
If there is one thing you can get for CHEAP, it’s a glass vase from a thrift store. You can find them for $2.00 or less a piece. Just add a little paint on the inside and you have a whole new look to match your décor.
This is a popular craft on Pinterest and probably one of the easiest ones to do! Look for a candlestick and a plate or bowl and glue them together creating a new flower vase, party platter, or jewelry holder.
Add a little paint to a boring wooden bowl to transform it into a new modern set… and it’s dishwasher safe!
Hot glue rope to a thrift store vase for a nautical look. This is a quick and easy craft that can be completed in fifteen minutes!
Hand Painted Wooden Bowl Knock Off
Recreate an expensive designer hand dipped bowl by painting the bottom of a wooden thrift store bowl. I added a gold stripe for a little extra flare.
Refurbished Thrift Store Furniture
A little sanding and spray paint can go a long way! Give a little life to an outdated piece of furniture to give it a fresh new look.
Transform an old mirror into a serving tray by painting it and adding cabinet hardware.
I love these ideas! I’ll definitely be doing some at home – they’re so easy! My fav is the bowl and candle holder.
Thank you Pattie!
