Thrift Shop Seed Packet Makeover

January 25, 2022 By Karen Creel

I dropped a few things off at our local thrift store last week.   I try to drop them off at the desk and walk straight back out.  That’s because my goal is to clean out, instead of bring in!.  What’s my rule?  Take 5 things to the thrift store, and you can bring one back lol.  But today, I had to walk all the way through the store to find the staff who were putting things in the back……and I saw it out of the corner of my eye.

Thrift store letter holder repurposed to hold seed packets

 

When I saw this letter holder I immediately saw a seed packet holder.  And the price was right, $5.00.    I’m working on the inside of my garden shed as one of my 2022 projects.  (You can read about planning garden projects here).  This will look great on the wall after I paint.  It was made out of cheap wood and was glossy.  The first think I did was to use a piece of sandpaper and lightly sand it all over.  This would make it easier for the paint to stick.

The letter holder was painted green after receiving a light sanding.

 

Next. Paint it sage green.  This will look great in my shed after I get the walls painted.

Stencil "seed" on the letter holder which will hold seed packets

I found a “feed and seed” stencil from another project, and cut the seed part off.  Using a darker green, I stenciled “seed” on the top.

And added my seed packets.
