When I saw these…I thought of these…

CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS is here, at the bottom of this post. Sorry about the double post but I am getting e-mails from people.  Some haven't received my posts in their reader for a week-UGH!  others 4 days, some people are getting them.  WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.  It says I may need to repost all the posts that haven't posted--what a fun day that will be.
So here is the  re- post

When I saw these …

A few weeks ago I was at Jo Ann’s (you can feel really bad for me because we don’t have Hobby Lobby), and I saw these.

No, I didn’t see an ornament.  I saw these.

 
Is that what you saw?

I grabbed 3, sawed off the tops,  and sanded them.

Then I painted them silver

Then painted the centers white and used my number stencils

Then I grabbed my 16 gauge wire and made each one a metal ring.  Finally I sanded them so they would be a little shabby and used my distressed ink pad to darken them up a little.
Aren’t they so cute??

That part of the project was done but I still needed to finish the over all project so I could display these numbers (the address).
I cut a strip of burlap and hot glued on some cranberry red beads for the hanger.

I took another piece of burlap and added beads to make a WELCOME banner. I cut out a leaf shaped pattern and cut out several colored leaves.  I used a flat cranberry red and celery green paper, some shiny red on red heavy Christmas wrapping paper, some white and cream paper and some pages from a book. (I cut the “frame” from a Children’s Place gift box.)  After gluing down the hanger, I added the leaves and then the WELCOME banner.

I used the CRANBERRY beads to make my welcome banner.
Then used the beads to hang the numbers from the bottom of the frame.

Do you remember this plate from HERE?

I got another plate and worked on this project.

And if this post shows up in READER and I can get the other posts to post to everyone's reader I will REVEAL how this project turned out.  (it will be nice to not be dealing with posting issues.)
I am ready to PARTY--
