House Numbers and a Photo Display

Welcome to craft time,

Glitterinas!

I have had two ideas bubbling around in my 

lil ol' noggin for a while....

.....one was house numbers for the gate where 

FedEx, and other delivery people come 

up to the house...

.....two was a photo display made from 

an old bike wheel.

I had bought some large, black

numbers a while back in 

hopes a good idea would pop 

into my head....

....while I was showering,

washing dishes,

dusting,

you know, my thinking time!

Inspiration struck when daughter 

brought me an old, 

rusty, crusty multi-loaf pan.

She found it in one of Papaw's barns 

and thought it looked like something 

I would like.

She was so very correct!

Here it is....

....after a scrubby bath and a sun bath 

to dry it!

Our address has four numbers and there are 

five loaf pans here, so I would have to add 

something....

....hmmmm, 

our name, maybe,

a piece of interesting 

old rusty, crusty, maybe not,

an initial, maybe,

what, what, what??

I had a corrugated tin heart that might work.

Here's a pic of how the numbers fit on the loaf pans.

I used E6000 adhesive for this project.

That stuff is great, but do not get it on you....

taking it off also removes skin....ouch!

If you re messy, like me, wear 

disposable gloves.

Here's the heart.....the size is perfect!

Don't you agree, Glitterinas?

All the numbers and the heart were glued in place

and here's my finished 

house number sign.

Here's a creative, art-y shot....

I really like the way it turned out.

What do you think, Glitterinas?

Project two was a photo display.

I had been on the lookout for 

an old bike wheel, but I just couldn't 

find one.

Well, one day, boom, 

I found an old wheel.

It was just 

waiting to go to my craft room!

I thought about painting it but decided 

against it.

I can always paint it in the future if 

the mood strikes!

I added an old glass door knob 

to the middle of the wheel.

(Thanks for the idea, Holly!)

I covered some small clothespins 

with sparkly washi tape....

....and gathered up some old photos of people 

I love very much!

Using my sparkly clothespins, I attached 

the photos to the 

spokes of the wheel.

Tah-dah!

Cute, huh?!

This is my sweet Sissy......what a cutie pie!

Here's my Mom being shy, along with her Mom 

and her brother, Leo.

Love those boots, Mom!

This photo display is going to live 

on the mantle for now.

I love seeing it every day.

I added some more pictures to fill out 

the wheel space...... I did have more clips!

Do you like my two projects?

Leave me a note and let me know what you

think about them.

Thank you so much for stopping by the 

craft room here at 

Pink Glitter!

I hope to spend some more time 

with you soon, Glitterinas.

Until next time,

Tammy
