Ahhhh Friday – my favorite day of the week! I am hoping to have a productive day today so I can have some rest and relaxation time over the weekend. We shall see how it goes! Any big plans for your weekend?
I am just dropping in today with a quick and easy project for you. It’s almost so easy that I wasn’t going to post about it, but when I first saw the idea on Pinterest {from Thrifty and Chic} I thought that it was pretty much genius!
Isn’t it cute?
It started off looking like a plain, old butter dish. The top often got a little slippery and it could be hard to hold. Somewhat functional but not too pretty…
All I had to do was glue on a drawer pull and it had a whole new look! I used Quick Grip glue for mine but Gorilla Glue would work too. After gluing, I held the drawer pull in place for a couple of minutes, used a tooth pick to clean up any glue that was showing, and then let it harden up overnight.
I then used my Silhouette machine to create a stencil and painted on the “Butter” with some left over paint. You know, just in case our dinner guests couldn’t guess what was inside. 🙂
It made a nice addition to our Rustic Spring Tablescape and now I don’t have to worry about anyone having “butter fingers” and dropping the lid!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

What a glorious idea. I love the way it looks. great job.
What a marvelous idea. I have a clear glass butter dish that I have the same problem with – trying to get the lid off at times. I wonder if I could find a crystal handle or something with a little bling that would work??? Glad you posted this.
Adorable! Love this idea! Thanks for sharing it!

Have you ever had trouble washing the items that have been glued? I used Lochtite for glass and even without washing pieces came undone…
Is your glue a good one?

What a darn clever idea!! Now I am on the hunt for a nice white butter dish to spiff up. Looks french country to me and that is the look I am working towards in my kitchen.
Thanks for sharing.
