Recipe Box Makeover Bee Inspired! 🐝

Wood Recipe Box Makeover

When I asked for your opinions about some of my thrift store finds, you all had so many great ideas.  And I listened!

Let me show you what I did.

I took one reader’s suggestion and used spray paint to cover just the box part and left the lid unpainted.  I removed the lid before painting the box.

Two coats of spray paint, letting it dry between coats, made it look great.

It kind of looks like a birdhouse without the hole at this point! 😊

I used my new favorite Chalk Couture transfer “Sweeter Than Honey” to dress up both the box and the lid.

Sweeter Than Honey is part of The Bee’s Knees Collection. 🐝

Only the top of the transfer and one of the bees was used for the lid.

Here’s how it turned out.  So sweet now!

For the front, I used the same bee with the beehive.

I did the words in White Chalk Paste and the bee in Bumblebee Chalk Paste and the hive in Bark Paste.

I wanted to use the other bee as well, so I added it to a small candle jar.

The candle is honeysuckle-scented, because we all know bees love honeysuckle!

Can I just say I couldn’t BEE happier with my $2.50 wood recipe box now!

I have several more projects planned for this affordable Sweeter Than Honey transfer that can be used so many ways.

I’d love to hear your ideas too, and I just might try one!
