Welcome to DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 497
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Hello junker friends!
This past week I’ve been buried nose deep into my computer designing. Right after the NEW fall stencils were released, it was time to get busy with Christmas!
This process takes time. But it’s all in the name of unique and new gear to DIY with so I’m really excited to deck the halls with new toys!
I also visited my Dr. and have some additional interesting things to share… the info keeps piling up! But I know some of you are invested in this topic with our changing selves and what we need in our latter years, so I’ll share what’s new next week.
While I was busy pounding keys, I shared a wonderful adventure that I found when I was in the Niagara region last fall that I haven’t shared yet! It’s a visit to a charming butterfly sanctuary that was as warm as Hawaii inside! The tour includes a short video so you can see what I saw!
So, thanks for bringing over some awesome DIY last weekend… I am missing my paint and tools!
Here’s some amazing highlights from last week’s party…
Wallpaper stars by Pillar Box Blue
These stars came at the perfect time with Christmas ahead, because this project is GORGEOUS. Isn’t that texture something? Click through to read all the details… you’ll be surprised how the stars are held together!
Paper bag advent calendar by Pillar Box Blue
Advents are big around Christmas, so when it’s time to craft one yourself, this off-the-wall creative take will only fuel your own!

Creepy hazard label Halloween coasters by Sadie Seasongoods
Nope, this is not a coaster from a Halloween store. This is homespun from something you don’t see every day at a thrift store! So clever, and they really look amazing! A wonderful tutorial comes with this post.
Wood burning wooden spoon designs by ElsarBlog
Thanks to my love for all things wood, this project is so stinkin’ creative! Wait till you see what was used to create the designs… you for sure will have something at home that would work if you stock this crafting product! Full details are inside this post… and be sure to tap ‘translate’ at the top of your read.
Oak frame coffee table by Interior Frugalista
This is not just any cool pin-legged coffee table. This beauty derived from a very unique source. But the outcome looks so legit, you would never know! Click the link for the fab tutorial that is included with this post.
