Old beat up muffin tins are plentiful at thrift shops and flea markets. I picked this vintage looking muffin tin up from an outdoor flea market last summer. Wondering what I could do with it, I decided on an avian theme with birds, nest and eggs at center stage.
After perusing my vintage bird book (another flea market fine) I decided on some birds and looked at pictures of their eggs on the net. I attempted to re create nature with rubber stamps and eggs. I stamped the bird names on small wooden shapes and added some excelsior.
For detailed instructions of this project and many, many, more Flea Market before and afters, see the August issue of Crafts n Things.
Do you have a flea market story to share, leave me a comment, I cant wait to hear about it...
