Remember these hubcaps I bought for .99 at Salvation Army while in Virginia visiting family!?!?! My mom didn’t say anything when I threw them in the cart. She gets it. My husband did however make a few smart comments as they laid on my desk for about a week. I think one time he asked if I was building a car, one time he asked what car I knocked off…etc. You get the point, no need to justify his remarks by repeating them. I knew I had to do something with them just so he would shut it.

Awesome spray paint that my dear husband picked up for me! He “gets it” sometimes too!
A little sanding.

I can’t throw anything away. I know the second I toss something out or donate it, I am going to need it the next day. I have been holding on to these broken shutter pieces since last summer when I made these…..
Yeah not sure what they are, but I called them shutter art and was thrilleddddddd when I sold them!!

So I’ve been hanging onto the left over shutter pieces since last summer and finally found a use for them!!!!

Remember these wood flower shaped bowls that were .49 cents each from the thrift store?!

After a little spray paint and a little distressing the wood bowls became the center of my hubcap flowers!

My name is Angela Statzer and I love to incorporate just about anything into my artwork. Ranging from recycled materials, vintage items, wood, jewelry, other people’s junk, buttons and fabric, my style is fun and diverse. You can find me smiling at any yard sale, thrift store or flea market. I am a momma to two amazing kids and wife to one hot husband. 
You get me every time. These are seriously awesome! I wish I had just an ounce of your creativity!
Thank you Katie!!!

Angela, I always can’t wait to see what you do with your finds, what fun. WOW, I am not a good finder, but those lids, I have a piterest find where someone made a wreath with old lids, it looked great. Just love your inspiration and imagination.

Angela,
My favorite is the brighter of the two! You’re so inventive! What a great idea! When you first posted about turning them into flowers, I thought, “hmmmm.. wonder how that’s going to work out!” You certainly did it!! I was at a yard sale last weekend and saw some of those wooden forks/spoons that you had awhile ago and thought of you!
Maybe once I clear out some of the things in my house, my husband wont mind so much if I bring new things in to “create!”
Allyson
Hey Allyson!
Did you get the wooden forks and spoons!?!?! Do you want me to come and help you clear some stuff out of your house!?!? hee hee I like to have yard sales sometimes and get rid of a bunch of stuff and then bring in new fresh items to play with!!
lots of love
Angela
