Drift Away

Happy Monday, It's pouring buckets here

Just returned from a whirlwind trip to MD to help load My Parents stuff up

Move to NC is almost complete yay!!

Wanted to share a project I have been working on, 

involving a little rusty metal star and a bag of driftwood

I have had this driftwood forever, waiting for an idea to use it for

I had visions of glueing it around a round mirror hmm but that never happened

So when we moved I threw the driftwood into a metal basket on the front porch with some seashells for decoration

I scored a yucky metal star at an Estate Sale and envisioned painting it

and hanging on the front porch, to add some more color

Then I thought of a driftwood star seen on pinterest from Pottery Barn

and I thought ooh I could try that and then just kind of went with it

A little Trial and Error

As I started using Gorilla Glue to glue the pieces eek

what a mess, the pieces kept sliding off and the glue made a mess

Then out came the glue gun and BAM 300 glue sticks and I was finished

Maddie enjoyed helping me fit pieces together it was pretty fun

The driftwood was a find in the craft store back home in Maryland, It was attached to a long string. Hence all of the holes in the pieces

I don't mind thou I like the look of it

I will have to post a picture of it when I finally decide where to hang

it, I have been going back and forth between the front porch or the foyer ugh :/ decisions, decisions
