Thrift Store Find Upcycle
Last week I purchased a vintage toolbox, it is in very rough shape, and it was super cheap. It is very old and well made USA. This pic is my inspiration to get creative.
Mine is also red, however it has bare metal exposed and tons of rust inside. I saw potential and purchased it. My basic idea is to sand most of the rust off. Get it clean, and to spray it with a clear topcoat to seal in the rust and give it some shine.
Then to add embellishments, paper, fabric or paint...something I will come up with.
I love these old metal toolboxes. I have two in the house, with actual tools in them. There are two in my glamper, great for tools I keep there. There is a larger one in the garden, planted with strawberries.
This one is rather shallow, and I think that it will be for charging cords, and other stuff. Maybe I could use it to store other small things?
