Except for a little cleaning here and there, I use my junk "as is" - I just try to find a new purpose for it.
An oil can is now a vase.
A rusty tin bucket holds soap.
An old post is a candleholder.
A glove mold holds jewelry.
A metal carrier is perfect for CDs.

The patina on those finds is gorgeous! I have spent some time trying to get that finish! Nice finds!
