Great Christmas Craft Using Old/ Vintage Wood Door
Hi all! A couple of years ago, I came across an old wood door at a great price and snatched it up. It sat for quite some time in my garage until I came up with something fabulous to be done with it.
After cleaning the door, I started off by slapping on some washes of paints in different colors, with the majority being grey. I then added some watered down gold paint in random areas. I wasn't particular about this at all!.
Then, I figured out where I would need the bottom urn for what I envisioned for this door.
After I hand painted the urn, I place a star up on top of the door and then proceeded to figure out how to make sure the bulbs I was going to add would be straight.
I put a screw at the top where I would be hanging the start and then two screws at the bottom on each side of the top of the urn. I strung string around each of the screws to make the triangle.
In hindsight, I probably would opt for a different type of glue - some of the bulbs came off over time, but that's easily fixed.

Beautiful idea, I am thinking of cutting some plywood...stain or paint it silver, then apply the balls on them in the same fashion, to place on our porch.

Have a question about this project?
That is awesome. I have done something similar but am not very crafty. I don’t think I used enough hot glue. Is there something I can spray over it to insure it all adheres? Thank u!
