Welcome to DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 406
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Welcome to an explosion of Christmas infused junk!
And hey… I even made a couple of things this week!
But my biggest struggle is apparently the time change. It’s due to start raining again this weekend so I’ve really pushed myself out during those sunny, windy cold days to get a little bike riding in before the rain hits. But goodness… between having to have all DIY photos done and a 2 hour trail ride a done deal by 4pm is a struggle! Anyone else feeling it too?
Regardless, I made myself stay home the odd day to get some stuff done.

Who makes furniture this time of year again?! Apparently I do… a couple of crates got a pretend rustic cart treatment with some found rusty junk. Fun and easy project!
With still time left for a bike ride. heh.
Rustic branches and deer head Christmas mantel by Funky Junk Interiors
Dashing outdoors for a few storm blown branches was a great start to getting this year’s Christmas mantel up and running. Tips on how to get a zillion branches to stay put are included in this post.
Now, let’s check out what jaw dropping goodness you brought last weekend…

This little neglected dresser gets a beautiful holiday makeover, and you get a little heartfelt lesson on utilizing the gifts you have been given. Super nice message.
Twig Christmas tree illuminaries by Stow and Tell U
Twigs are my friends, and these illuminated twig trees are needed in my home NOW. Just adore. I wanted to stop decorating but I realized just now that I am missing my yearly twig project fix… hmmm…
You Cut Tree Farm on a front Christmas porch by Organized Clutter
I honestly wasn’t sure when the festive spirit would hit full throttle… until my eyes landed on this porch. Doesn’t it just tell such an amazing story? Still chuckling over that perfect shovel message…

Thanks Donna for your 406th DIY Salvaged Junk Projects. Always very interesting bloggers sharing their projects. Your mantel re-decorated for Christmas is a visual treat. Have a great week – sunshine is in the forecast in about 4 days.

Donna thanks so much for hosting each week. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas. And honestly I don’t know how you can do those 2 hour bike rides in the winter. Just thinking about them makes me hurt. 😉
Haha! Hurts me too at times. Just bundle up warm enough and go for it! I liken it to how skiers stay warm on top of a snow filled mountain. Seems impossible but I was never cold when skiing!
Thanks for hosting Donna! I’m always impressed with how creative people are with only ‘junk’! Liz
Seeing your projects, as well as all the features and participants, has filled me with Christmas spirit. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, Donna!
