DIY Paint Chip Platter.

We went to Goodwill the other day just looking around. I'm sure my husband had the intention of finding some cd's since that seems to be the only place he will buy an actual cd now instead of getting his music on itunes. And he did get lucky, he got Smashmouth, Hootie and the Blowfish, Fastball, and 3rd Eye Blind. I got even luckier though. I found a couple of great items I have been wanting to use to upcyle into some even better items. Only one though I can share for now because I'm using the other one for something next month (I'll share soon, I promise).

I did get an amazing serving platter. It might even just be a large plate with a small lip around the edge. I am not really sure. But I love it and have so many ideas of what we can put on it. Even if I don't use it for cupcakes (what I'm really wanting to do with it when it dries) I figured it would match the living room colors to be a nice little spot to drop keys and other items when we come home. I got it for $1.66 (yay for sale days). I used some green paint chips I grabbed at Home Depot and some mod podge that has been sitting quietly since I got it a few weeks ago. I also use a circle punch I bought when I was making some stuff last year. 

Seriously, so easy and very cute. All I did was punch out some circles.

And put some mod podge on the back of the circle. And then the top. I didn't read the directions but I think I did ok. It's currently drying and I did not have the patience to wait to post about it. I can't wait to find a perfect spot for it in our home.

Now I have finally found a great use for it. I'm sure this will temporary as most things are that I do, but this works for now. And I think it's perfect.

Right now it is holding all of my handmade jewelry and I love it. And no, it is not going to always sit on top of a guitar case.
