I honestly don't think dad's want another mug, tie, or t-shirt. Or apron. So why not take what they have and use already and pimp it out artfully?
That's what I did here. Actually this was Patrick's grandpa's tool chest from, like, 50 or 60 some years ago. I glued washers all over it to give it an artsy edge. I know - it adds zero function to the structure, but it sure looks macho cool, don't you think?
To make this, score a bottle of Liquid Fusion. It works on metal, doesn't stink, and is very thick. And the bottle looks ultra manly, Dad will like that too!
And yes. I asked Patrick before I touched the tool box. His Grandpa Greg (sign of the cross, RIP) was always so sweet to me and got a kick out of all the crafty things I used to make and show him. I think he is winking at me from heaven because he is impressed.

Peace, love, and glitter!

Love it! Washers are a great manly version of....glitter!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I make jewelry from washers...they are a great thing. My coffee table is a diamond plate tool chest, so that would be a great idea to cover something in my living room. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
