so last week I was out thrifting and found these crutches for $4.
and i decided that since i'm going to have to use them for 8+ weeks that i was going to spruce them up a bit! i painted the bottom pieces grey. and then i cut a few old anthropologie magazines into strips and started mod podging away! then i sewed some cushions for the tops...because i remember how sore i got when i had my knee surgeries 10+ years ago!
i'm loving my sassy new crutches.
here's to making the best of what you've been dealt! :)
they are so great! nice work you!!! i love it + hope that the surgery and the months of recooping after go smoothly for you! love + miss you!

Such an improvement. I remember when wade was on crutches that the rubber hand things made his hands reek so I covered those as well.
