Take a look around my Peddlers Mall Booth

 Have you ever been to a Peddlers Mall?

These are various ways I have styled my craft booth.

Each week they get moved and mixed around.

Nothing stays in the same place very long.

Take a Look at Past Views of the Booths

 

This is some pics of how my friend Donna placed items in the booth.

We both had items here and there and made them work with the basic theme

of black and yellow.

Various Laser Burning tests

KEYCHAINS

Below are some laser burned keychain designs I have been working on.

These will be "fillers," for the booth.  

I call fillers a quick grab item, that you didn't know you was looking

for until you seen it in the booth.

Usually, a great item to give as a gift as well.

  

HALLOWEEN MASON JARS with Wooden Pumpkin Spoons

Hey ya'll!

Here's a Halloween themed idea for those plain ole' Mason jars you may have.  And if you don't have any on hand, Walmart and even the Dollar General stores carry them in cases.

Plain jar before

The Halloween themed Mason jar looks like it has a lot going on. Really it was pretty simple.

Okay, so first off we need to clean the outside of the jar with a little bit of alcohol.  This will remove all dust, lint and crap so it will have a good, sharp finish.

I just wiped it down with a paper towel dipped in the alcohol.

Okay then just paint the inside of the jar a color you want to pop. I choose the Cinnamon color from Folk Art craft paints.  

Oops, this is a pic of another one I painted Cinnamon on the outside. But anyways, just paint the orange on the inside if you are going for the look of my top pic, or vice versa if for another. 

And for the outside I went with antique white.

 

Okay, I've switched up the pics somehow of the inside and outside, but this pic shows the white inside. But remember you want the white on the outside if you want it like the jar at the top of this page.

For some reason I've vice-versa'd the pics.

Okay, anyways, after you have painted a good coat on the outside in white, and its dry, take some fine grit sandpaper and sand it. 

And you'll start seeing this.

I like all the scratchy type marks.

And wipe all the dust off then add one coat of sealer. I like the varnish in satin.

And let it dry then decorate it with burlap strips, a bell

                        

      and some of my pre-made  

Halloween Themed Wooden Spoons.

And here it is finished:

And here's the other one I just finished up.

See ya'll next time,

OLD PRIMITIVE TRUNK

Here is a cute $5.00 trunk that I won at an auction.

It was a rusty brown color with bits of black here and there before.

I did remember to snap a before pic this time!

But only after I finished spray painting it entirely black!

Here's a pic of it, but from the back.

 Well, I knew I could do something cute with it.

So I decided to just make it a little primish.

I had a large "SIMPLIFY" stencil that I got off from eBay that I had been dieing to use.

So I got that out along with some star stencils.

And this is what it ended up like:

And here is another one that started out just like the first one.
It's just a little bit bigger.
But I forgot the before pics, or either I can't find them one.

I took a can of wine colored spray paint and kind of sprayed here and there around the edges to give it a little more interesting color.

And off to my Peddlers Mall Booth #555 it went:
I priced it for $29.99

PRICE: $29.99
