Amber and Wood Candle Holder Redo and More Antlers

In a previous post, I showed a before picture of some short wood and  amber glass candle holders. Well they have been painted and scuffed and here are they are finished! We also found a tall pair that have been refinished as well.

There are the before and after photos. The short ones were done in blue and the tall ones were painted a dark orange. I think they turned out pretty cute.

We also did another set of antlers. I LOVE this pair. It's mounted on a dark walnut stained plaque and covered with a pink geometric fabric and some white rope.

Bunting!

I have a love hate relationship with sewing. I love to make things, but I'm very impatient. So when I decided to sew something I usually pick things that take about an hour to make.

Bunting is a really easy project and they're quick and super cute. I also love that you don't need to rely on a pattern.

I just cut a triangle out of card stock and get to it! I cut 2 pieces of fabric per pennant. From there, I sew up the triangles (right sides facing) and then clip the excess fabric from the bottom so when I turn them inside out, the point turns neatly.
Then all you have to do is press each pennant, place and pin on your bias tape and sew 'er up. Make them in plain fabric or add your own embellishments to the front! If you add things to the front, just make sure you put it on the front triangle before you sew the two pieces together.

If sewings not your thing, there are other ways to make cute bunting. I've also made bunting out of crocheted hearts and triangular granny squares!

Upcoming Projects

My mom and I have been on the hunt for some things to redo. Here's some things we've found so far - I figured I'd post some of the before photos.

Side Table

Plant Stand

Amber Hobnail Candle Holders (We found 2 of these short ones and another set of 2 taller ones)

Brass Horse Head

Found these HUGE antlers on the cheap. We're thinking about mounting them on this tree slice.









I'm so excited to get started on these projects! Hopefully we get them done quickly so I can get the after photos on.
