I know I’m not the only one inspired by Pinterest!

Today I’m joining a group of bloggers, to Rock Our Knockoff Tour – inspired by Pinterest!

After looking how and low and not wanting the pay the high price of a vintage paper cutter, I decided to create my own.

Yes, I got it from the kids section at Ikea. It’s the Mala Tabletop paper holder.

Ikea Hack Mala with Modern Masters Paint

Ikea Hack to create a vintage paper cutterI used Modern Masters Metal Effects – Bronze with Blue Patina

  • Paint the piece with primer first, let it dry according to directions.
  • Paint the bronze paint over the primer, let that dry.
  • Use a spray bottle to spray on the blue patina aging solution.

Great for making wood look like metal.

    1. I absolutely love your use of MM Metal Effects on this, you used my favorite color combination. I had no idea Ikea sold these, it would be so nice to have but I agree that I needed a little pizzaz thrown into the mix, and your touches made it absolutely perfect! It’s been great touring with you 🙂

    2. I love this! My friend has a vintage paper holder that her grandparents used when they packaged meat from butchering hogs. She has it in her classroom now and every time I go into her room I wish it were mine. An Ikea is 3.5 hours from me so I’ll have to put this on my “to-buy” list for the the next time I’m there because I’d love to have one of these.
