Superstar!

Did you say that title like Molly Shannon would?  I made a simple star using 5 pickets.

I laid them out in a star shape and screwed them together.  I put a little block of wood under the spaces where the pickets didn't touch.

I left the original chippy paint on the pickets, sanding off the loose pieces.

A little clear coat finished it off.  Perfect on a porch or above a fireplace.  Find more ideas at Donna's Funky Junk Interiors.

  3. As soon as I saw this star I had to make one. We don't have pickets but do have lots of pallet wood. Could you tell me about how long each of your pickets is? This star could be used for so many decorations. Gotta make it. If you reply please do so to my email address, thank you.
    Love chippy paint left on it. Pinning this
