A few months back I was inspired by this post on Centsational Girl:
One day when I was spring cleaning my gardens, I had to cut off a couple branches from my rhodo bush that had died over the winter.
I held on to this one, and let it dry for a while.
I finally brought it down to my hubby's workshop with a circle piece of wood that Aiden had written all over in ink. *sigh* At least I still found a use for it!
I sawed off the bottom of the branch to make it straight, then drilled a hole into the piece of wood and up into the bottom of the branch. Then I screwed the branch onto the wood.
I drilled a bigger hole at the bottom of the circle so the screw could be sunken into the wood, to avoid wobblies when all was said and done...
Then I primed the entire thing, using some primer that was sitting around the shop.
No it wasn't spray paint, which would have been easier, but I was not going to spend any $$ if I didn't have to.... so I did it by brush.
Next I took it outside and used some flat black spray paint that had been sitting in my closet for a few years -- I finally had the perfect project for it!
And this is the finished product! I love that I can have my necklaces out in the open, and they are not getting tangled in a jewellery box!
Should go pretty nice with my earring holder! :o)
LOVE this!!
