Salvaged Star Door Decor

My poor front door has been bare since after Easter decor came down.

I know, the shame of it all!

I remedied that today by making this little, scrappy star.

I wanted it to look hobbled together so I used 5 different salvaged pieces.

I needed a few pieces with some flexibility thus the trim piece and the yardstick.

  6. Ok now I have to make one of your stars. Absolutely love the rusticity of your star, it's perfect. I'll be out scrounging in our wood supplies tomorrow. Hubs always says I can't put the grayish stuff that's been out in weather with better stuff, watch me old man. I'm still convincing him bout distressing.
    What a fantastic idea to mix whatever you had to make the star, I love that.
    Enjoy your new star. Happy Summer

  7. I love the use of the different woods and the ruler! Love it! I have been making protection stars out of wooden canes with thistles and rosemary on them to protect my boys from Bad dreams and protect them while they sleep. It is something I do each summer solstice xx I am now thinking of a permanent one over my front & back door thank you to your lovely wooden one xx

  11. I need to brace the bottom of my shed doors. Think I'll use this idea, will bring some color into the little wood shingled "sort of cottage". A great way to use scraps and love your idea.
