wire the pieces securely together, then I could start sprucing them up.

What do you think? I love the way this one turned out.

I still have the other one to go but I'm out of sisal and steam. Good thing they can be used past Christmas. I can see them gracing the fireplace hearth or keeping guard by the entryway table. They will be perfect accents for the farm.
Come back Thursday for my final Christmas projects reveal. See ya then!

LOVE them Cecilia! Great upcycle!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! What a great idea! And, they will look great throughout the winter season. You have lots of patience too! Looking forward to seeing your last project!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation! Love this project!!
ReplyDeletethank you, KariAnne! It was fun.
DeleteThese are great! I now have to add these wire frame animals to my garage sale list. I already have the rope from a flea market at least 3 years ago ;).
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do this Cecilia. Now, they will show up better. Must have taken forever to do the wrapping and gluing, but well worth it.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy and blessed Christmas.

I remember how much time it took me to wrap a simple vase with rope, so I can only begin to imagine how much time this took. Kudos to you for not giving up Cecilia. It's adorable, and as you say, can be used year round.
ReplyDeleteSounds funny that you're just now starting to wear Fall clothes, but who am I to judge? We don't even have to wear jackets yet in the northeast!
