How I loved spending time digging through buckets of junk at the shop to create our new, old friend Scrappy. And his cousins. Every piece that went into our friends was stuff we had on hand. Old spools for the carrot noses. Vintage burlap webbing for scarves. Buttons made from who knows what. Two old pipes and five we crafted from stuff we had laying around. Even the fencing.
License plates. Gear shift knobs. Cheese graters. Hinges. Keys. A whistle. A whisk broom. Glass knob.
Oh what fun.
They turned out even better than I imagined, and I had high expectations.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks, Brie. I like 'em too. I posted them on Vaughn's Cabinets blog also, with more details and photos.
ReplyDeleteAll of Scrappy's friends are sold and in happy homes. We'll create more next year.
