I came across this great re-purpose idea HERE and decided to give it a try. I made my own giant wooden star using vintage yardsticks and twine.
I LOVE all the different colors and advertisements on these vintage yardsticks!
To assemble the star just simply lay them out in a star shape, hot glue the edges and the places they cross. Then wrap twine around the corners of the star for a little something extra to finish it off.
This is a great inexpensive and fun craft project for year around decorating.
I'm sharing with Centsational Girl, Delightful Order, Shabby Creek Cottage, Liz Marie Blog, Funky Junk, It's Overflowing, Home Stories A to Z, and Beyond the Picket Fence.
Love it! My husband will probably insist on making one for are(already crazy) Christmas yard! Thanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteI saw the same blog. Fun to see how the same post created a very similar thing. I made mine out of new yardsticks and painted them. I love yours and the twine around the edges is great. I am going to be on the lookout for vintage yardsticks now.
ReplyDeleteI have a slight obsession with rulers so this just floats my boat!
ReplyDeletePerfect...I have a stash of cool yard sticks waiting for me too. Now you've got me thinking. Thanks :)
