Wood Scraps and Modpodge

A couple of months ago we had some construction going on here.

The man who was hanging the drywall had some scraps of wood left over and asked me if I would like to keep them for my outdoor fireplace. Being the hoarder that I am, I grabbed a few of them up for a future crafty project. Does hoarding count if you actually use the stuff you save? Just wondering because yesterday I got busy in the studio and actually used those wood scraps. I turned them into something much nicer than firewood I think.

 A little white paint dry brushed onto the front and edges after a light sanding.

Then some paper and modpodge.

 Once they were dry I got out my trusty old drill and drilled holes for wire hangers and some for adding beads to the bottoms. I used one of my hand stitched felt beads on one and a pretty stone bead on another.

 I'm dreaming up another crafty project for tomorrows blog post.

Hope you stop in to have a look!

Thanks for dropping by!!!
