Hubcap Flowers


Remember these hubcaps I bought for .99 at Salvation Army while in Virginia visiting family!?!?!  My mom didn't say anything when I threw them in the cart.  She gets it.  My husband did however make a few smart comments as they laid on my desk for about a week.  I think one time he asked if I was building a car, one time he asked what car I knocked off...etc.  You get the point, no need to justify his remarks by repeating them.  I knew I had to do something with them just so he would shut it.

Awesome spray paint that my dear husband picked up for me!  He "gets it" sometimes too!

A little sanding.

I can't throw anything away.  I know the second I toss something out or donate it, I am going to need it the next day.  I have been holding on to these broken shutter pieces since last summer when I made these..... 




Yeah not sure what they are, but I called them shutter art and was thrilleddddddd when I sold them!!

So I've been hanging onto the left over shutter pieces since last summer and finally found a use for them!!!!


Remember these wood flower shaped bowls that were .49 cents each from the thrift store?!


After a little spray paint and a little distressing the wood bowls became the center of my hubcap flowers!




Who wouldn't want a bag of lids for .50 cents!?!?!
















So run out and rip off your neighbor's hubcaps and make yourselves some hubcap flowers!  Or you can buy mine at Santurary of Davidson!  I know shamelessssssssssssss!
