I hope everyone is enjoying this Holiday Season as we all scramble to get those last minute items. I can't believe how fast this month has been moving by! I can honestly say I'm savoring every moment I get to craft as the month of December has been quite difficult, being packed with too many 'to-do's'. In the previous post about our Christmas tree, I photographed a bird's nest my mother had crocheted and made mention of some beautiful snowflakes. I had to share in hopes that you all may enjoy and want to replicate these on your spare time. (Ya know, to maintain sanity during the holidays. ) These snowflakes were starched and dried flat to hold there shape. Each measures 3 to 6 inches and you really don't need hooks to attach to the tree. Could you picture a beautiful garland of snowflakes with ribbon intertwined? Just a thought.
So... what can you do with a piece of wood measuring 45 inches by 3 1/2? Well, if it's 1 inch thick, you can use it to make the cutest wall rack. But instead of using hooks, use drawer knobs! Here's how the idea got started. I needed a place to photograph kids aprons. Now, most of you know that my girls have been modeling them, but they can't model toddler aprons, right? All I could picture was a gorgeous crystal knob rack used to display those mini aprons I love to make. And after searching in stores and online, I realized they are not very easy to find. Soo...... "oooohhh hubby.... can you drill a few holes in this piece of oak wood I found in the barn?" Of course he did it in a heart beat & he even sanded it down too! The holes were positioned like this: I did the two outer ones first, then measured to the center in between those. And again, the middle of the center and outer one. Got it? I took some regular creamy white wall paint I had left
