Have you ever wondered what to do with those leftover craft supplies? Those little bits and pieces that look too good to throw away but seem too small to do anything with?
A few weeks back I shared this Dark Romance Furniture Makeover with you. It was restyled with a ReDesign With Prima Rub-On-Transfer [GIVEAWAY ALERT…so be sure to read to the bottom of this post!] and there were a few tail-end extras. My sister came up with this brilliant idea of a DIY Painted Globe using Furniture Transfers!
I love this idea because we’re always checking out the pretty globes at HomeSense, Etsy, and Anthropologie… so making a DIY replica with leftover supplies was exciting.
Luckily, we already had a few of these old-school globes on hand. I’ve noticed that thrift store globes are getting up there in price. You used to be able to pick them up for a couple of dollars. Now I see them selling for between $30-$40 at Goodwill… whaaaat?! I guess with the popularity of globe art (and there are some stunning examples – just check out this Etsy artist here), prices are bound to rise.
Here’s what we started with – well sort of. I forgot to take a picture of the globe before I painted it black so this is the exact same globe with a different base.
Here’s the painted and floral furniture transfer after! My sister is celebrating her birthday so this is going to be one of her Made-With-Love-Gifts…the best kind, I think. 🙂

DIY PAINTED GLOBES WITH FURNITURE TRANSFERS::
Step #1:: Clean and Mask
This globe had been collecting dust in a basement corner for years. I gave it a good cleaning and then spray painted the globe flat black with this spray paint.
Once dry, I masked off the globe with masking tape and a plastic bag, and spray painted the base and axle an antique rose gold.
Step #2:: Cutting Out Florals
After the world globe was sprayed black and the stand rose gold, I cut out all the florals from the leftover transfer ends. Once they were cut out, I played around with a pleasing arrangement on the globe before I actually adhered them permanently.
Step #3:: Rub-On
These transfers are really easy to use. Remove the paper backing, lay down the transfer, and rub on with the tool provided. You can see the full Rub-On-Tutorial Method here.
It’s a fun and fast project and I really like the end result. My sister hasn’t seen it yet so I really hope she likes it too. What do you think?

Thanks, Kelly! 🙂
Hi Denise, Furniture transfers look like fun to use with endless possibilities.
Olivia
PS. Thanks so much for your post on adding furniture legs with t-nuts !
Oh so true and glad that tip was useful, Olivia!
Beautiful! Gave me ideas using my ‘as I was growing up’ favorite… Mod Pogge! =]
Thanks, Sharon and I like the sounds of that… glad this sparked some ideas! 🙂
Love these designs and as I am currently working on redoing some furniture pieces this is perfect timing. LOVE ’em!!
Nice! Have fun and good luck to you. 🙂
I just painted a floor globe. I’ll be on the lookout for another globe and “borrow” your flower idea…maybe rose color for a little girls room. Thanx!
I’ll bet your floor globe looks amazing. They are nice statement pieces. 🙂
That is so cute! Or as they say in French, c’est mignon! If you’re giving this to your sis, I see more soup in your future, LOL. Thank you for the chance to win this lovely package.
I’ll do anything so I don’t have to cook, LOL. 😉 Good luck Tracy! 🙂
Would love to try these Prima rub ones. The ease of application is enticing. Your globe is awesome
The rub-on-transfers are so easy and ReDesign with Prima has GORGEOUS designs… I know you’d love them. Good luck to you, Debi.
Love this! Couldn’t imagine from the post’s title what on earth this was going to look like but it is awesome.!
Thanks, Susan… and glad it was a nice surprise! 🙂
Your sister will be thrilled with her made with love birthday gift I’m sure! What an amazing giveaway with such lovely transfers.
I hope she likes it.:) And I sure whoever wins this Giveaway will LOVE these transfers. I remember your Coffee Table with a Floral Transfer turned out ahhh-mazing!
I love maps so I probably wouldn’t do a globe. However I have a battered old small desk that is crying out for a new life and transfers might do the trick. I’ve never worked with them before but this might be just the right project. As always, thank you for the inspiration!
ReDesign with Prima Transfers would work AMAZING on a small desk, Sue! Good luck. 🙂
I am a flower/floral lover. You have done such a wonderful, beautiful job with these transfers. I would hope that my name will be drawn for the prize. Thank You
Thanks so much, Judy and good luck to you! 🙂
What a great idea!!!! LOVE IT!!!!
Thanks Pam! 🙂
Love this idea! I am definitely going to be on the hunt for a globe at local garage sales and thrift stores!
If you can find them a yard/garage sales, you can still get them for a few dollars! Thrift stores (around here anyway) are starting to price them a little higher.
This is super cute! I collect globes and I totally want to do this now!
Nice collection Corinna! I have a few – but can’t really call it a collection. Glad you like the floral idea. 🙂
What a really clever idea! I’m sure your sister will adore it!
K
I hope so and thanks so much, Karen! 🙂
I’ve always loved the look of decoupage, but these rub-on transfers are wonderful!! Such an easier option. Could the finished globe be sprayed to give it a clear sheen or is the look meant to be matte?
Thanks Jacqueline, and yes – for sure! You can topcoat with wax or poly in whatever sheen you like. 🙂
Hi Denise. What a great idea. I’ve seen globes for sale in my local Pier One for between $100-$200 and NONE are as pretty as your DIY world globe. Your sister is going to be so pleased with her birthday present:)
Aw thanks, Monique 🙂 …and ya, I hope she loves it!!! I’ve seen some gorgeous decorated globes too. There are some on Etsy that are WOW!
What fun! Gorgeous!🌎
Thanks, Donna! Good luck to you. 🙂
You are so very clever!
Thanks Justina. 🙂
Beautiful
Thank you! 🙂
I absolutely love Prima Redesign products!!
MEEEE TOOOOO! Good luck Jann. 🙂
What a fun project to try and do. I think your sister is going to love it. Thank you for sharing. Cindy
Hi Cindy! Thanks, I hope so and good luck to you. 🙂
Very Cool! You just gave me a great idea for a Christmas present! Thanks!
I was thinking the same thing – these would make great Christmas presents! Good luck Marisa! 🙂
