I got the huge drawer full of rusty junk (I could not even carry it) at the November Estate Sale.
(This is just a small portion of my original rusty box.)
I used a few bits and pieces on other projects (including the bottle brush trees in my
Still More Bottlebrush Trees post) and then decided to go for broke. I had purchased a Styrofoam Christmas tree to bedazzle with vintage jewelry. I still am going to do that, but I put it on the back burner for now.
I left the plastic covering on the tree and spraypainted it pewter, then hit areas with black chalkboard spraypaint. Because of it being Styrofoam, I was able to just press the rusty bits in with nails. (Be warned: it takes a TON of little rusty bits.) The only part I used glue on was the top. I
loved how it turned out. Selling it at my Rusty Chandelier booth.
