Rusty Crusty Junky Owl Decor


Betty MJ talked me into a booth at a local High School Flea Market. At first I was thinking UGG! All that work... But then you know me, once I got started creating...there was no stopping the beast! LOL I have been working my tail end off coming up with items to sell.



So as I was looking around I had some scrap pieces of galvanized tin from Rustic Up-cycled Tin Signs. I thought they were a perfect size to make something small for a small wall or door decor. 
First I got in my scrap buckets and found these baby food jar lids, brackets, and old washers. Stacked em and thought... hmm...they look like bug eyes or "ding" got it, 
OWL EYES!
So I screwed them to the tin and painted some bright colors....and there we have it, a 
Rusty Crusty fun looking Junky Owl!



Here are a few others I painted on some rescued wood!
Goofy looking but I think they are fun!





Here was a sneak peak at our booth before the flea market started.  
Let me tell you it was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!!
I even got a few Custom Tin orders!!!




I didn't have much to take home! 
And I'm still pretty dang stoked about it!!
