Holiday Decorating Has Started

I say it every year – once Halloween comes, the winter holidays are the next day – it sure feels that way, anyway. I find this time of year very inspiring, decorating wise. That feeling is always added to when I see what others have done to add to their holiday decor. This project was sent to me by Kathy Pfaff, in Erie, Pa. She did a great job repurposing a garden shovel into outdoor wall art:
Using silks, fruit, ribbon and a glue gun, Kathy:
* Made an arrangement in the blade of the shovel
* Wrapped the handle in ribbon, then trimmed out the very top
* Hung the finished piece on her porch for the neighbors to enjoy
This is a great way to repurpose a shovel with a broken handle, too – Kathy’s wasn’t broken. I’ve got a broken one, though - and this would be a GREAT way to put it back to use.
