Dollar Tree Ironing Board Sign Makeover
Dollar Tree decor pieces can usually be improved immensely with a few craft supplies. This ironing board sign I found at Dollar Tree was no exception.
The Wash & Dry ironing board sign with mini clothespins was made from very thin pasteboard, and the woodgrain on top was contact paper.
This is a 1" x 8" pine board, cut to 18".
I have used Varathane Weathered Wood Accelerator (gray) for several years now.
Today I'm trying Aged Wood Accelerator with a brown finish.
This is my board, still wet, with the new Aged Wood Accelerator.
I removed the tiny clothespins on the Dollar Tree ironing board and flipped it over for painting. I brushed on Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Drop Cloth.
I also removed the woodgrain look contact paper top layer.
I purchased this laundry stencil from Hobby Lobby a while back. It's a good size for the ironing board.
I swirled on the stencil using Fusion Mineral Paint in Ash.
The ironing board was nailed onto the aged wood board. A sawtooth hanger was added to the back.
Four clothespins were glued onto the ironing board and board with Titebond Glue. I let it dry overnight.
I did not seal or wax the sign or distress it. I just added a lone sock!
Other recent dollar store makeover projects include a mini clipboard photo holder and a garden photo collage frame.
