Weekend Scrap Wood Projects

Raise your hand if you have scrap wood sitting in your garage? I'm first!!! I wanted to get all this extra wood out of my garage before my garage sale and definitely before winter. These were leftover pieces from a friend's backyard makeover. I didn't have to cut anything for these do it yourself wood projects, everything was just waiting to be painted. Love this kind of project.

Do It Yourself Wood Projects Directions:

Select different sized scrap wood. I had 2 x 4’s.. but you can use any size you have.
Spray paint? Craft Paint? Chalk Paint? What do you have? I had spray paint in these colors. Pumpkin Orange, cinnamon, and burnished amber. Just in case you want to see…

Next, I found twigs in the yard and cut them to various heights.

I glued them on to the top with my E6000 Glue

I added wax to seal and then added a little antiquing wax for more character.
Cut pieces of burlap, raffia.. whatever type of ribbon or string you have.

Viola! This project is Finished!

Don’t stop reading!!!!! I also did this project from scrap wood… (Here’s the story ) As I was picking up my neighbor’s extra pieces that he didn’t need… he had several cuts in a fun way… inspiration struck and my favorite candy appeared… 

yes. I love Candy Corn.

If you are wondering about the pumpkin behind them… my sister and her husband made this for me last year…I had to make a new top piece …shh – don’t tell.

Have you made scrap wood projects? I have more in the garage waiting for me to finish… One day soon.. they will be.    Until next time!!
