Turning old rusty shoves into colorful art work

I love & enjoy painting on my spare time. I am always looking for ideas. I got this idea from a trade show I attended during my vacation. It just happened that my husband has these shovels in his tool shed.

  • This photo shows the same technique used with tissue paper for my Christmas garland 1
  • rip a 2" strip of any fabric, fray it... messy is fine, don't worry about it.
  • wind around fingers quite tightly.
  • tuck end up through bottom.
  • and that's it!
if you want to use them on a gift,  just put a stitch or two through the under side to secure it.

Turning a tomato cage into a chandelier

I knew we "needed" a chandelier for the pergola my dear sweet husband got me for Mother's Day but where could I find what I wanted.... it had to be made of old materials and crystals. A quick trip through the garage reminded me that we had a stack of old tomato cages which had not been put to use as of yet. In fact my original purpose for them was to set them in our old cement planters upside down and drape them in tiny Christmas lights for the winter. Well here it was early summer ...»
and they still sat.... old, slightly bent from years of use and just the perfect patina!

Inspiration struck.

The ends were cut down with bolt cutter and bent over to form the top. A spool of old wire was woven in and out around the body to form a cage of sorts. More wire was added to the top for reinforcement. Old crystals and yard sale beads were wired on. The hanging fixture (available at Lowe's) was screwed in place, spray painted to blend in and then the fixture was hung under the protective covering of our pergola. An Edison bulb was added to further enhance the aged appearance. The cord was plugged in, the switch was "thrown"... instant ambiance!

Stop on by and check it out....
