Happy Wednesday, Friends! I have a special house guest and while you're reading this, I'm probably hitting the thrift stores with Cecilia from The B Farm! I'll be sharing more from our visit soon, but today I have a fun project created from repurposed address numbers...
You may remember when I found several copper house numbers for .25 each at one of my favorite thrift stores. At the time, I was contemplating a possible project and also asked for your suggestions. Interestingly, Mary suggested the very project I was considering!
It involved the letter B and though I didn't find one thrifting, I found the next best thing--one in the bargain bins at Michaels.
I wanted to create a vertical sign that would appear to float. I used double strands of fishing line to attach the letters to each other,
tied double knots and repeated...
...until it looked like this.
I had just the place for it by my back door.
It needed just a little something and when I saw this spooky spider that actually lights up at the dollar store, I couldn't resist. I knew it would delight Ginger Grand and sure enough, when he got a sneak peek during our last Facetime chat, he loved it! I used more fishing line to attach it. Now I just need to remember not to scare myself silly when I come home to the darkened doorway some night and forget about Mr. Creepy ;)
Oh, I agree, that could easily scare you at night if you forget it is there! Great use of the numbers :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThat spider is really creepy! Great project!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and clever, my friend. Have a fabulous and fun day :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I also collect those numbers and letters whenever I can find them. How did I miss those spiders at the Dollar Store?:) Great Halloween decoration,Cecilia! Hope you're having fun! xoKathleen
ReplyDeleteCute idea! Heck, now you can do winter, spring, summer, Christmas, etc. No limits.
ReplyDeleteThe spider looks appropriately creepy...uh, yes. Your letters are perfect!
