Welcome friends to a fun event, Salvage Style--9 junking, salvaging, reclaiming bloggers joining up to bring you 9 fabulous projects! Not only are we showing you 9 great, doable projects, but there is a link party where you can link up your own Salvage Style projects and a pin board where we will be pinning our favorite Salvage Style projects.
I created a fun, fall pumpkin from reclaimed wood.
I started by making a pattern from a piece of newspaper. I just free-handed the pumpkin on half the paper so that it was symmetrical. I traced this onto two pieces of salvaged barn wood.
I cut out each half with a jigsaw.
Next I gathered a pile of reclaimed wood and trim pieces.
I painted these orange, green, turquoise, and white. I sanded them when they were dry.
I placed the pumpkin halves face down on my workspace and then put the boards face down in the order I wanted and secured them with screws from the back.
A little Minwax Puritan Pine stain over the whole thing completes this fresh, reclaimed, salvaged wood pumpkin--a perfect fall decoration!
Now, it is time to visit the other 8 fantastic bloggers and see their ideas!
We will be pinning your Salvage Style ideas that you link up HERE--be sure to check out some of our favorite projects we have already pinned and follow the board so you don't miss anything!
