Weathered Boards.Barbed Wire Rusty Junk Welcome Sign

Our Community will be having garage sales in May so I have been gearing up for that. This affords me the opportunity to gather up some of my junk treasures, re-purpose/up-cycle them and offer them for sale and hopefully reduce my inventory of stuff. I have been feeling really creative, so making some neat stuff.

 

Several years ago I bought a five gallon metal bucket that was crammed full of pieces of tongue and grove boards. I put a plastic bag over them; sat them behind the shop and forgot about them. I had lots of old hooks and these old boards, so set out to make something out of them.

 In the bucket were some fantastic blue boards ... they were great !! We cut one long one in half and glued them together.

 

 

While searching for some old glass knobs,  

I found these beautiful, painted blue gate hinges. So ... this is what I/we, Mr. Z and I created. 

   

The old rusty barbed wire wreath was perfect to hang from the center glass knob using a burlap bow. Love the rusty "5" to tuck in the wire. The little blue bird feels right at home in the rusty iron dipper.

  Rusty jail keys look great hanging from the hinges. I guess this is just a rusty Welcome sign. I was really pleased with the way it turned out.

 

Great for hanging some junky stuff or just about anything.  

The WELCOME is hand painted ... sanded the lettering a little to age it.

  

Enjoy ...
