Pallet Table and Book Storage

I needed somewhere to keep my books in my craft shed and needed extra table space. I had some smaller pallets my son collected for me outside of my shed, so I stacked them side by side and got this. You can see all my books stuck inside the open sides of the pallets and I now have extra space to sit things.

Rusted Nail Windchime

 When Life gives you a yard full of rusted nails..Make windchimes!
I took a metal clothes hanger and spiral it and tied on graduated sizes of rusted nails with nylon string. It's really hard to get a good picture of windchimes! I have two different views with not so great backgrounds.

Rolled Denim Flower Frame and Some Stars

I was inspired by rolled denim flowers from discarded jeans to embellish this small frame that holds a black and white picture of my sister.  It kind of has a sculptural look.  All you do is cut strips of denim and roll them after spreading glue down the strip. Then, just glue them randomly to the frame.  I left the sides undone because you can't see them and the bottom, so it could still stand up.                                                  
                                                                                       
                                                                                       
                                                                                     
                                                                                           
                                                                                       
And here are some stars I made from thin cardboard.  I found a star shape online and scored it after cutting it out to make it kind of 3 dimensional. I spray painted it silver. The small one on the bottom had these little tear drop designs that I cut out. I glued a small piece of wire on the back to hang them up.  These are very simple to do, not requiring a lot of instruction.  Have a little fun with these and see what you can come up with.
