It hurts the eyes, I know.

So I took a few minutes and made my own!.I took an old metal bucket that I’d previously disfigured when I tried to paint it in a brown and white buffalo check a few years ago.

That didn’t work out, but this one did!.Step one was to paint a little beige craft paint where I wanted the cross.Once that was dry I made a little cross out of painter’s tape and stuck it over top.

I tried out Scott’s Blue tape on this one because they sent me a few rolls to try and it did the trick!.Then I painted the whole thing with some Antique White craft paint and pulled off the tape..

Instant hip-ness.

Bonus points if you have a cool brick wall to put it in front of.A whole little mini collection just waiting there that I hadn’t seen the first time around.

Each piece was around $1-$2.And the other thing I learned:.

2)White paint is not just white paint.I started out spraying these little guys in a gloss white that was really kind of terrible.
