Toaster

Georgann's Craft Closet


This is a 1952 metal toaster that I found at an estate sale in the trash. After asking if I could have the toaster, I took it apart, cut the cord off, and put it in the dishwasher. I spray painted it with Rust-oleum automotive grey primer, then with Rust-oleum black texture spray paint, and finally black acrylic paint. I tole painted using Jo Sonja tube acrylic paints with a Rosemary West pattern on all four sides and  finished with Jo Sonja varnish. It is a real conversation piece since I use it as a napkin holder. Just think what you can do with a old piece from the trash.
