Garden Tool Caddy

I had a beautiful wood fence installed a few years ago and they left behind an old fence post bracket I had pounded into the ground to put a small section of fence up to keep my dog from escaping. If I remember correctly it's a 36" stake and I couldn't pull it out. It sits next to my vegetable garden behind my garage. After walking back and forth around to the front and into the garage every time I realized I needed another/different hand tool a light bulb went on!
$12.00 basic plastic black mailbox - wipe down with mineral spirits, clean well and lightly sand with a fine grit paper then wipe down with a damp rag and let it dry completely.
A few stencils with Folk Art Multi-surface craft paint.
I had trouble with the adhesive stencils pulling the paint with it, luckily it was only one on the door and the paint peeled off easily enough to clean it up and remedy that with something different.


I sealed it with Krylon Make it Last! Clear Sealer for painted outdoor surfaces.
Mounted - the wood was scrap from the garage so this project cost me about $25.00 total!
No more running back and forth for tools - just need a complete second set now!
Isn't she pretty? I hope the paint holds up!
