Bathroom Shelf

I was getting tired of all the clutter of products on my bathroom shelf.
All of the shelfs at the store were kind of pricey, and there weren't any that I was particularly fond over to pay that kind of price.
I decided to go to the craft store, buy a cheap wooden shelf, and paint my own.



I used acrylic paints.
I painted everything a base coat of white first so that the colors would show up better.
The front has three wooden cut outs that I glued on - two anchors and a skull.
I hot glued them on after everything was painted and sealed.
I painted the cut outs first.
I then started on the shelf itself, painting some areas white and some with a black that had glitter in it.
I then painted a skull with an anchor through it on either side of the shelf.
I sealed everything.
Then the last step was to hot glue the cut outs on.
Now it is happily hanging on the wall in my bathroom, freeing up counter space!


P.S. 
- The sneak peak for my next blog posting is the night light that's underneath my shelf!

Superman Flower Pot

My Mom and younger brother just moved to a new house.
I had given my Mom several things but was trying to come up with something for my brother.
He absolutely loves Superman.
I have been wanting to try painting flower pots and had bought a smaller one to try before painting bigger ones.
I decided to try painting the smaller one in a Superman theme for my brother.


I love how it turned out!
I made it kind of look like Superman himself, just a portion.
I figured the smaller flower pot would be perfect for change or odds and ins.
My brother really liked it!

Now I am off to paint more!
