A Furniture Leg And A Finial Walk Into A Craft Room And Turn Into The North Pole
Hope everyone survived Black Friday. I got a few things at JoAnn and Michaels and I’m going to be a hermit today hopefully busting out a chunk of my Christmas cards! Didn’t know what to title this post because it was one of those things I made that I had no idea what it was going to be until I did it.
There’s an architectural salvage place in Seattle called Earthwise. I love wandering around there and finding who knows what to play with. They have a whole section of just furniture legs!
I also had a finial in my stash from a trip to Lowes. Ignore the snowflake thingy…didn’t end up using it.
I glued the finial to the leg and then painted with Martha Stewart “Wedding Cake” craft paint, followed by a coat of ivory pearl.
While that was drying, I made a polka dot paper medallion and cut out the numbers 25 from red glitter card stock.
I love my Martha Score Board which I use for my cards all the time but it’s great for making accordion folds for things like medallions.
One 12x12 paper cut in half then score each 6x12 piece at one inch intervals. Fold in half to make a fan shape, and hot glue together. Repeat then glue the two halves together. Cut a circle from plain cardstock and adhere numbers.
I added a little Epsom Salt frost to the top of my final.
Went around the top and bottom with some patterned tissue paper.
Added a glittered reindeer ornament from a pack of them I got at Dollar Tree.
