I’m constantly on the look out for awesome clearance deals at Target and today I’m sharing one of my favorite finds – a party drink tub I picked up for $4.48 after the Super Bowl.
The transformation was a simple two step process. The biggest difference came from a coat of Rustoleum Universal Metallic Spray Paint in Aged Copper*. It’s a paint and primer in one, and my new favorite spray paint color. I can’t wait to add more aged copper touches around the house!
While the paint was drying, I designed and cut a vinyl image using my Silhouette Portrait
*. If you’re digging the art deco feel as much as I am, you can click here to get my .studio file free for personal use.
I applied the image using transfer tape, and all that was left was filling up the tub with delicious drinks!
And a closer look…

Thanks Tasha! I found myself wishing I would have bought the entire stack of tubs at Target – I had so many ideas it was hard to pick 2!

GET OUT! Love how you glammed up this clearance find! So wish I had a Silhouette!

Thanks Ashley! I bought the smaller (aka cheaper) Silhouette Portrait because I wasn’t sure how much I would use it. But it has been amazing! And there hasn’t been anything I haven’t been able to do with it even though it is 8 inches vs 12. Of course I wouldn’t turn down a Cameo 🙂

That is an awesome makeover! I will definitely be trying that spray paint. It’s a bonus that it’s a paint and primer in one.

Thank you Valerie – I can’t wait to try that spray paint in the other colors!
Katie says
