Repurposing Edging into Pumpkins...

I found 2 rolls of this wooden edging

in my Garage. 

I use to have this along my Flower Bed,

about 10 years ago.

I studied it for awhile, then I had a Brain Storm.

I began to take the wooden pieces off the wire,

cleaned them up a bit,

and dry-brushed on some orange paint

here and there.

I free-hand drew out a pumpkin face

on a scrap piece of paper

and then cut it out ...

Scary, I know.

But this is how I work.

I like to sketch out my ideas on

scrap paper.

Then I took some Black Paint and

stenciled the Face on the pieces of wood.

Then I stained over them with a

dark stain.

I then took a branch and cut it

into pieces, for the stem,

a leave from some artificial flowers,

 sprinkled with some cinnamon

and a piece of rusty wire to hang.

And there you have a Primitive Pumpkin.

One of these will be added to 

My Birthday Giveaway package.

In a Previous Blog Post...

I asked if anyone knew what these were...

Thank You to everyone who took

the time to reply....

Almost everyone said that they were 

some kind of Floor Grate used in Older Homes.

They were Flush with the old wood

Plank floors and would let the heat rise

to the second floor.

We had grates in our old house 

when I was a child, but ours were metal.

These are interesting.

I received these from my Sister in a pile

of treasures. They are wooden and quite long.

They are in Beautiful shape and quite thick.

As for what to do with them...

I still haven't decided.

I had some wonderful ideas...

*Hang it on the kitchen wall, and hang utensils from it.

*Attach legs and make a little side table.

*Use them as doors for a cupboard/cabinet.

Wonderful ideas. I had to put them aside for now

because I got a lot going on right now.

But I will let you all know what I do with them.

Have a wonderful weekend Everyone!

Does Anybody know what these are???

As I was going through some

of the treasures from my Sister...

I came across these.

Does anybody know what they actually are???

Or what they were used for?

They look like some kind of a grate.

But they are made of wood

and they are thick.

What could I do with them?

Any ideas?? Anyone??
