Drop Cloth Meets a Microwave Plastic Ring
Our microwave quit working. We got rid of it, but not before I salvaged the plastic ring with rollers that goes under the glass plate. You never know when an idea will hit. :)
Ok. I saved the glass plate, too. I’m sure it will become a project at some point.
Yesterday, I had an idea for the ring.. 💡 I used it as a frame for a wreath!
I cut the little rollers off and cut strips of drop cloth about 6” long. I tied each strip onto the frame, fraying them as I tied. I tied the strips just once. I pushed them together as tight as possible so they aren’t going to work loose. Tying knots would make them too bulky.
It made a 12” wreath. I love the natural look achieved used from drop cloth.
After tying and pushing together as much as possible, I turned it over and that side became the front of my wreath. I think that side had a neater look, but it really doesn’t matter which side you make the front.
I love it hanging from a vintage window I have. Sorry about the pics. It is rainy and overcast today and I was having trouble with the reflection in the window glass. I smudged out my reflection as best I could (you’re welcome), but hopefully you can see how pretty it is anyway.

It is my belief that lead paint is dangerous only if you chew on it or sand it and inhale it

Lead-based paint is most dangerous when it is deteriorating—peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, etc. Take extreme caution if you plan to disturb the paint for a big renovation, a repair, or simply a new coat. These activities can create toxic lead dust.

This one did not have any chipping off. I’m pretty sure I probably sealed it but can’t remember for sure.
