Before & After

I needed a mental health day from my day job today.  I decided to be creative. This is what I started out with...

collected wine corks, scrap of burlap,
primitive star from Pat Catans and
5 x 7 picture frame from a yard sale


THE AFTER

-I took the glass out of the frame

-roughed up the frame with sand paper

-cut a scrap of burlap and hot glue to the frame

-glue all the wine corks to the burlap

-added jute all around the wine corks

-added the word salute' (means cheers in Italian) to the star

-glued the star to the wine corks

FINAL DESTINATION....sitting on top of my stove
Come back and visit for more creations made on my mental health day!

HOW ABOUT SOME WINE?  Okay how about some wine themed centerpieces and decorations?  I made the wine centerpieces from all yard sale finds.  The wooden bowl was 10 cents and I painted it white and distressed it.  The grapes and wine corks came from a yard sales (that my good friend Jen at creating with the J's) picked up for me.  The candle was 50 cents and I tied a little bit of burlap on the candle just for fun.  The wine bottle in the pictures is also recycled.  Another bunch of grapes and a label printed from the computer.  I love, love, love repurposing.  Thanks for stopping by, keep checking back I'm working on some new things.
