I love Hobby Lobby clearance! I found some really good deals last week in their 80% off section. They had these 3 metal thingies for $1.20 each. I am starting to decorate the Master Bath and thought I might could do something with these. My walls are nearly the same color as the metal pieces, so I decided to mount them on squares of MDF.
I cut three 6x6inch square, painted them black, then distressed the edges.
I then centered each (somewhat) and screwed them in.

I painted the screw heads so they didn't stand out too terribly.
Above you can see all three assembled and screws painted.
Next, each one got a matte finish clear coat and a hanger installed on the back.
Finally, I eyeballed it and put three picture hangers on my bathroom wall. They aren't exactly level, but I'll fix them later when I am certain they are staying here. Depending on what I do below, they may need to come down some. I am thinking of putting some vinyl below it.
Hmmm......I like the height of the towel stand, but despise the thought of my bath towels in my water closet. Gross....

If I leave the bird cage on the tank, I'll have to either put a floating shelf under or lower them. Do you think I could get away with doing a large black frame with maybe an architectural photo under them? These would also fit nicely going vertical on a narrow wall.
This project took me about 25 minutes. I used scrap wood from some vinyl signs and paint I had on hand. The total cost was $3.60 for the metal emblems.
Great finds, I love clearance too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing so many great deals in blogland from HL...I must go soon!

super cute!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! now i want to make a hobby lobby trip:)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about HL - although the one I go to just had their roof collapse b/c of heavy rainfall..I'm at a loss now! I love this project and the toilet paper in the birdcage!! Jen
ReplyDeleteOooh - those are cool - great price too...
ReplyDeleteVery cute project. Have you considered hanging them the opposite way? Just a thought...then you do not need a shelf or anything:) Thanks for linking up to the partay...so nice to have ya! Debbie
ReplyDeleteI think a shelf or print would work...but these look great !:)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Gotta love the 80% off!!
ReplyDeleteI think hanging them verically would be nice. Then pick up a simple frame at a thrift store, take the glass and backing out, paint it black and hang these inside, would be nict too.
