Harvest Time

Remember this stack of wood I got from Home Depot for super cheap.



Well I finally got around to using that largest piece of wood on the bottom. I decided to paint it a cream color but put the paint on kind of "rough" since I wanted some of the dark wood to show through.



After I got it painted, I sanded down the edges a bit.



I ordered some vinyl from Jill over at utahvinyl.com. I added my HARVEST vinyl first.



I had her make an "inlay" as well to put on top of my "harvest" that says "Let us give thanks." I added that next.



Then I got out my trusty can of stain, which my mom bought years ago for me.



I added some to the whole thing and then wiped it off with a paper towel. See how the edges are dark now.



Now it's already to be displayed for Thanksgiving. I'll wait until November to put this up but I just loved how it turned out. Here's a picture with the flash:



And another without, but you get the idea.



I got that cute crow in Virginia one year while visiting my parents. They were so cute, I bought two.

It's never too early to get some Thanksgiving projects done right?

  3. The wood is 17.5 inches long and 5.5 inches wide. If you want to order the vinyl for this project, there is a link to Jill's website and you can just send her an email.
