Updating Olde Wood Decor
A darling old junker whiles away the day making these from scrap pieces of weathered cedar. I love the way he cuts out those stars! They are just the right size to to hang up here and there. However, I embrace change and love to be able to customize so I started thinking of all the possiblities with these little gems. I got into my fabric stash and started playing. I just used scotch tape to secure the fabric on the back but I suppose I will go back and swap to thumbtacks.
Really love that burlap on the white weathered one. May try a black burlap on the natural wood since the regular burlap blends in too much. And then there's the vintage calicos looking so cutiful....
Notice the little doo dahs I grabbed in a desperate attempt to hide the big nail on the wall. A girl's got to be creative! I think I will try out a few other backings too like old embroidery linens or even poster boards painted with new techniques or new colors being sampled. If you're interested in buying these cheap, my daughter will be selling them soon in her Etsy shop, Down South Designs. Check it out!
