Ready for a new DIY home decor idea? Let’s get started!
I have quite a few rolling pins in my collection, so I selected three to create a rolling pin display for my home decor collection.
For this project, I wanted the rolling pins to have a beautiful spring design so I used the IOD Transfer Collection – Fronds Botanical.
This collection includes four pages of beautiful botanicals in various shapes and sizes.
I decided to use one large sprig of greenery, which I cut into three different sections.
First, I peeled the white backing off the transfer.
Then, I laid the transfer on the rolling pin and wrapped it all the way around.
Since I was working with a rounded surface, I used painter’s tape to hold the transfer in place while wrapping it around the pin.
When you wrap the transfer around the rolling pin, it might overlap a bit. But don’t worry, overlapping transfers is perfectly fine.
Next, I used a transfer tool to firmly press the entire image on the transfer onto the rolling pin.
Then, after pressing the entire transfer with my tool, I peeled off the clear transfer paper, leaving the beautiful image on the surface of the pin.
How pretty is that?
Next, I repeated those same steps with my other two rolling pins.
I knew I couldn’t do a rolling pin DIY without painting the handles.
I used Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in the color Weeping Willow for this project.
This color looked beautiful with the botanical transfer colors.
Using a STAALMEESTER Fitched Artist Brush I painted one coat of Chalk Paint onto all six of the handles.
Once the paint dried, I used a sanding tool to lightly sand the handles. I opted for Chalk Paint because sanding it down creates a beautiful vintage antique look.
Then, I used a wet wipe to remove all the excess dust.
Next, to give this piece a more worn and antique look, I applied one coat of Fusion Antiquing Glaze to the entire rolling pin.
Then, I took a dry paper towel and wiped off the excess glaze.
In the below image, you can see the difference between the one without the antiquing glaze (top) and the one with the antiquing glaze (bottom).
Can you guess which one is my favorite? Comment below with your preference!

I vote for with antiquing glaze! That looks so vintage and looks great with the transfers! I have one like that that I use. Guess I’m going to get a new one to use and transform my current roller! Thanks for an easy and quick makeover. ❤️
