My Remodeled FREE Junk Art Kitchen Cabinets
I got bored with my mis-matched ugly oak cabinets and one day just started gluing stuff to them and still haven't stopped!
My kitchen is a work in progress. I go through a LOT of glue - mostly white glue or even glue sticks. Now I look at junk mail differently, searching for interesting art, colors, and words to cut out for free! I also hoard teeny free trinkets, broken jewelry, game pieces and all kids of stuff.

Half a Cuppa Tea, Anyone??
How to Make Junk Art Cabinets
Our cat broke one of my favorite teacups, so it ended up on my cabinet door!
I stuck the broken edges into a piece of styrofoam with tons of white glue and kept building stuff around it to keep it secure. Once dry, I glued the back of the foam to the cabinet.
It's always easier to work flat, so if you want to try something like this, unscrew the doors from the cabinets.

My Blocks Cabinet
My Blocks Cabinet - Decorated with strange little domino-like blocks (a yard sale find) and the word "create."

This one is just glued-on blocks and one little scrapbooking charm that says "create." This was the second cabinet I did. This is one of the few doors I consider complete. I like the simplicity.

Trash Art "Metro Cafe" Cabinet
Trash Art "Metropolis Cafe" Cabinet...
I like the partial cat face on this one. This is decorated with mostly ripped paper, blue and beads. It helps to put a few 3-dimensional objects on, for interest, I think.

What a cool idea. It takes The art of collaging to a new level. I've actually got one started but I didn't think of it as "junk art." I have some dolphin earrings I can't wear , some beads, fake money. Gonna have to look at it with a new eye. Thanks for the inspiration.
