My poor front door has been bare since after Easter decor came down.
I know, the shame of it all!
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.
A bit of jute and a book cover tag
painted on both sides in case it turns in the wind.
Scrappy, simple--just my style,
and my front door can show her face again.
I LOVE this! So adorable!

Great idea Becky... I've got a lot of long pieces, I'm going to go with your inspiration!

How cool! Everyone at school was making the ones with the rulers, but I like your scrappy version better.
ReplyDeleteThis is darling! Thanks for sharing, Patti

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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea to mix whatever you had to make the star, I love that.
Enjoy your new star. Happy Summer
Pinned, love it.

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
ReplyDeleteI am digging through my scrap pile when I finish commenting. This is seriously distressed and I am loving it!
ReplyDeleteI love the rustic look of your star! I need one!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that star! What a great use of bits "n pieces!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThis one is awesome too!! I really need to search out some more scrap wood...
ReplyDeleteI ABSOLUTELY love this idea! I'll be scrounging through my husbands workshop tomorrow so I can make one too! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteLove this! May I ask what you used to hold it together? Nails? Glue? Staples? I'm new to this!
