REPURPOSING AN OLD SPOON RACK - with krylon spray paint

I was tasked with repurposing several thrifted items, including an old spoon rack. I thought this should be a fun DIY project. I have seen more than enough of them sitting on thrift store shelves so I figured start with some Krylon paint and see what happens.

I came up with the idea to turn the SPOON RACK into a

 SPOOL RACK, using a bin of old bolts I had in the junk

 drawer and took it a step farther by adding a pin board on

the back to keep all those needles and loose ribbons corralled.

****************************************

First I went out and bought some spray paint and a foam core board.

KRYLON and RUST-OLEUM came to the rescue.

 

**********************************************

I measured and cut the foam board to fit into the back panels
of my spoon rack, but before installing them I wrap the foam
board in a coordinating fabric.

*********************************************

I painted all the bolts gold and hot glued them upside down in the cut outs.

TIP:

 I like the RUST-OLEUM gold much more than others

I finished it off by adding a pink ribbon across

the front of the shelves to hide the hot glue.

Whether you need a spool rack or not

I hope this inspires you to recreate your own spoon rack.
