Are you a crafting enthusiast who loves thrift flips and turning forgotten items into beautiful home decor? If so, you’re in for a treat! We’re sharing some inspo from our lovely IOD Artisan Karen Johnson. Karen upcycled tarnished silver platters with a beautiful depiction of vintage nature from the Winter Botanist Transfer.

Karen gave her trays a good clean before brushing on a few coats of soft white chalk-type paint. Once dry, she added delicate details from the Winter Botanist Transfer and finished everything with a smooth coat of lacquer sealer. Aren’t they stunning? 😍 They would make the sweetest Christmas gift for a loved one. ❤️
