I'm in love with my project today!!
The door was already cream colored and I just added wallies (remember those?) and some scrapbooking paper, some stamps, walnut ink and lots of different shaped hooks. I had a key holder (hard to see in the picture) and a couple plaques and mirrors. It was perfect for then, but I needed to change it up!
Here's how I did it.
1. First step was to remove all the old scrap booking paper and wallies, hooks, nail heads, etc.
2. Then I painted it with a white semi gloss paint. It would've been much easier to take the door down and use the other side than to scrape all the paper and modge podge off. Handy Hubby wasn't home, he was on a business trip so I scraped and scraped and did it the HARD way.
3. Once I had it painted I measured the paper that I found at Michael's for 3.99
4. I modged podged the paper onto the inset of the door.
5. I spray painted the hooks that I had on the previous door. Once dry I added them to the door.
6. There was a piece of scrap wood in the barn and I spray painted it blue. A strip of paper was modge podged to the wood.. I cut two small strips of pink vinyl and added that. Added cup hooks to hang the keys onto.. Cut a piece of orange vinyl as well as the letters spelling KEYS.
7. I had a tin basket that I bought at a garage sale for 2.00 and spray painted it orange. Then I cut some vinyl into chevrons and letters spelling MAIL. Velcro was attached to the back of the basket and then stuck to the door.
And there it is! My brand new (old) door ready for a new school year. I love walking down the hall and seeing the fun colors. It makes me happy!
Have you done a project with an old door?? I've done several with cupboard doors. Here is my Upcycled Cupboard Door. If I've inspired you to create a door coat rack, Habitat for Humanity Restore is a great place to find cupboard doors and large doors for a great price.
Happy Creating!
