I Sawed a Christmas Tree
The other day I was in our kitchen pantry where we also keep some of our tools and I happened to notice our two hand saws hanging on the wall and I thought to myself.... hmmmm... they kinda look like a Christmas tree.
At least they did to me.
At least they did to me.
Now those two were saws that we actually use so I went out into my greenhouse stash to find the rusty and crusty saw that I thrifted this past summer, and what do you know... I actually found it. lol.
But I still needed another one with a similar size and shaped handle, so off to the ReStore I went and thankfully I found one there for just $3.
I taped the two saws together, teeth sides out, in the shape of a tree using metal duct tape. That's the real duct tape used to tape around heating ductwork.
I went into my costume jewelry stash and found some faux pearl necklaces to drape across the saws. The teeth really do grab them nicely.
but I quickly changed my mind to pink, since it's my favourite colour.
Then I added some small pink glass ornaments that I had leftover from my folding ruler tree, that I posted here a while ago.
Not too many... but just enough to make it pretty.
To hang my repurposed saw tree I tied jute through the holes at the tops of both saws and tied a loop, and the star is taped on using the metal duct tape.
