Happy Holidays Everyone! I’m Dru and I blog with my three daughters over at Polka Dot Poplars. I’m thrilled to be a part of Design Dazzle’s Christmas Wonderful. I’m beyond impressed by all the ideas shared so far and know I will be using quite of few of them.
I love creating and painting on wood. One fun thing I like doing is seeing what kinds of things I can make from wood turnings found at your local craft stores like tongue depressor sticks, stars, dowels, etc. Have you ever put a bunch of popsicle sticks in front of a group of kids? Their imagination just takes off.
I’ve been seeing a bunch of snowflakes made of old barn wood, twigs, and yarn. I started playing around with my sticks and wood turnings and had a blast making snowflakes with them. The possibilities are endless.
Here is what I made:
There really are no set instructions. I used a cool temp glue gun to attach all the pieces together. I kept experimenting with different layouts and they kept getting bigger and bigger and I love them. Next, I’m going to make a bunch with my kids and grand kids and make a party out of it.
I ended up spray painting mine a creamy white and hung them up with twine. But, can you imagine them in different colors or sprinkled with glitter. They would even make great ornaments on a tree or a cute gift topper in a smaller version. My mind is going crazy with the possibilities.
This is my kind of craft; easy, inexpensive, and perfect for all ages.
Here’s a picture of the sun shining through the curtain I hung these at. I love the look it gives.
