I know it's the middle of October but I'm always in the mood for Christmas crafts and I have a pile of wood calling my name. Every time I go to Home Depot I check out their cull wood section to see what's there. A few weeks ago I went and hit the jackpot! There was a stack of end cuts from 2x6's that weren't marked. I went and asked an employee and he said they were free for the taking. So I took them away!
I was pinned my inspiration a while ago, but it was still in my mind. I knew I wanted to make my own (and maybe make a few as gifts for Christmas!).
Mine is a smaller version, but I love how the 2 I made turned out.
I did one with a red/maroon paint and one with a creamy paint:
I love that since it's on thicker wood it will stand on it's own. Perfect for a mantel or bookcase this Christmastime!
