About this Product
Do you have a camper person in your life? Someone that just loves the RV lifestyle? Are you looking for the perfect little Camper Warming Gift? Well you have come to the right place! I know all about little campers, because I had the opportunity to live in one for several years. It was a nice lifestyle, and someday, I would like to do it again. But...for now, I need space to create my creations. I just love this little camper painting, and I hope you will too!
This listing is for a handmade, 12" across, pink vintage camper on a turquoise background.
We start each Camper Lazy Susan with a sheet of real Maple plywood. I have found that this creates a nice, smooth finish. We cut out circles out with a Jig saw. We then sand, prime, sand more and then paint the back round color. After the painting, I apply a print of my artwork. Next, comes the coats of two part epoxy finish. Most Lazy Susan's get at least two coats. The epoxy finish is what you would see on bar tops. It creates a super hard, strong, waterproof and glass like finish. Most people think the Lazy Susan's are made from ceramic.
The cute kiddo in the video is my grandson River. We had fun making the video. The listing say's that we have five. Please keep in mind that they are made to order, and if you order 5, I will be sure to make five. It might extend the processing time by a few days, but I will let you know.
The ball bearing swivel that is attached to the bottom to make it spin is covered with a piece of 1/2 inch plywood. The bottom piece of wood is hand cut, painted and felt furniture bumpers are attached to the bottom. The swivel is made from metal, in the USA.
I have many other Lazy Susan's in my shop. Most of them are geared towards Coastal Homes, Beach House Warmings and people that just love the salty lifestyle. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to creating something special for you!

Meet the Maker
Hi everyone, I am Janet Dineen, a handmade maker of Mosaic Art, Custom House numbers and Lazy Susans. Custom orders are my specialty. Feel free to ask about anything that you have in mind. Many times, the best ideas come from people like you.
I currently live in Aransas Pass, Texas where I am very lucky to have a home studio where I can work in the lovely air conditioning. My husband Mike and I work together on many of the projects, he cuts the wood and I paint.
We have a little dog named Dolly and her job is to keep us entertained and chase squirrels.
I welcome people into my home studio to visit or purchase something that I might have available. I hope to make something special for you soon. Cheers!
How it’s Made
1. Purchase the Wood. 2. Cut the shape out with a jigsaw. 3. Sand the edges. 4. Route the edges and sand again. 5. Cut out the bottom piece from 1/2" wood. 6. Sand bottom, route and drill the hole for attaching screws 7. Prime all pieces of wood. 8. Attach the two parts together, swivel in middle. 9. On the smaller ones like this I use my printed artwork. 10. Coat with 3 coats of marine varathane 11. Coat with two part epoxy resin. Blow bubbles out with torch. (See video in shop updates) 12. Cover and cross fingers and toes for good luck. 13. Hope it came out nice and we don't need to coat it again. 14. After it dries, we remove the drips from the back, (I call them baubles) with a grinder. 15. The bottom paint is touched up. The piece is signed and dated and wrapped up in a pizza box for shipping.
There are many Lazy Susans to pick from on. The epoxy resin finish that we use is what really makes our Lazy Susans stand out. We have been working with the finish for about 8 years, and have learned a few tricks. Most people think they are made from ceramic. My husband Mike and I work hard at creating a quality piece of artwork that will be in the family and passed down through the generations.
This little camper Lazy Susan goes well on a table, or can easily be hung on the wall with just a small nail or screw. Either way, they are functional and fun!
Many people have purchased my Lazy Susan's as a coastal house warming gift, wedding gift, and as Christmas presents. This is one of a kind, coastal kitchen art. They can even be used in the bathroom to display pretty items.
Often times people will send me the colors of their kitchen or bath, and I will paint a Lazy Susan to match their decor. I enjoy custom orders, and I am more than happy to work with you to create something perfect for your decor!
