I finally finished my two projects - the napkin holder and wreath holder. If you remember, I started off with a plain white napkin holder I found at Good Will. It was cheap!

I cut out new sides from 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood, drew my design on, and painted it. Next, I painted the inside and edges of the holder with red spray paint. Then I used a strong glue to glue the new sides onto the napkin holder. Ta da! A new, cute napkin holder for the farmhouse! It has the same design on both sides:
I think it is just what we need!
Then there was the wreath holder from an old wooden spindle. Here it is with a wreath hanging on it. Notice how the notch holds the wreath perfectly:

I am happy with the results. I have two unique pieces and I was able to upcycle some items and make them brand-new again. Doesn't get much better than that! Hope to see you again at The B Farm.

What a neat idea! I never would have thought to use a spindle to hold a wreath. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeletehaha, you can't imagine how long I've had that spindle! Years...sitting in the garage while I pondered the whole ?what do I do with this?" I think this was the perfect solution. Thanks!

DeleteI need to make me one of these! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThe wreath holder that is...
ReplyDeleteNow I just need to learn how to make some wreaths to place on the spindle, which is such a great idea. It's such a neat way to showcase wreaths, instead of just hanging them on the wall. : ).. And I love the Chicken art as well.
