I immediately pictured some circle decorations I wanted to buy long time ago, but because of the price I didn't! So, I decided to do it the thrifty way.
I got two different size rings, I also had two embroidery hoops and a stick of wood.
From my pile of wood scraps I cut these two that would serve as stands, I sanded them very well, rounding the edges a little bit, found the center and drilled a hole in each piece where the round wooden sticks were going to be glued ( I used Super Glue, but regular wood glue would work just fine.
The embroidery hoops got drilled too!
I hot glued the embroidery hoops to the ring forms.
All the pieces were primed, the bases were sprayed painted and I painted the circles with black craft paint (I didn't want the circles to be too shiny).
I distressed the paint on the big circle to give it a different look and then hot glued a thumb tack on each hole the big ring had.
Finally, the circles were set on the stand with hot glue.
These are awesome!!! Seriously, love it!!! I'm doing a post tonight on all the weird decorations I make out of things around my house. I love these! The little brads were the perfect touch!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh these are amazing! I have seen those "sculptured" circles and love them too but am too thrifty to spend the kind of money I've seen them for. I am so doing these! I have the rings here at my house from a mobile I made last year. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful job
