Halloween plaques

Remember these? I said I had a plan for them.

I reused them to make Halloween wall plaques.

I cleaned, soaked and sanded them to remove the quotes and pictures from the originals. Then painted them, applied a stencil, and glued on a wood filigree ornament from Michael's craft store. When all was dry I applied a coat of varnish.
The backsides are decoupaged with music sheets. I plan to make them reversible to a Christmas plaque. Stay tuned.

Feeling like a crafty weekend again

Music sheet waterfall mobile. The top part is an old salt shaker top. I stamped out circles from old music sheets and just sewed a line over the circles then strung them on the shaker top.

Comparison

Since these may be the final days of owning our second home, I figured I would put some comparison photos online to see the results of ourefforts over the last few years.
