Welcome to DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 504
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Happy weekend!
I don’t know about you, but this week FLEW by. I’ve been challenging myself to do a little more video where the stencils are concerned, so it’s nearly been daily that I’ve done a new mini tutorial on Instagram / Facebook.
If you’d like to catch a few, visit HERE then check Demo 1, 2, 3, in story highlights. I’ll create a blog post landing page for them soon for those who don’t frequent Instagram nor Facebook.
I’ve also been super busy building a Christmas tree skirt which I hope to share next week, AND have something extra special coming up starting Sunday night! Be on the lookout because it’s gonna be a good one!
Just know… when it gets quiet on dee ol’ blog, there’s lots brewing ahead…
Vintage kitchen utensil wall gallery, part of day 2 and 3 in Seattle – visit HERE
With all that going on, I also managed to get a post up on my recent Seattle adventures where Susan and I found this fabulous kitchen antiques wall gallery, (it’s HUGE), took in the Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and Glass, made mistakes, got stuck in pouring rain, lost, uphill… and more. It’s a big post but it shares the rest of our adventures with plenty of pretty pics!
Ok, on to you!
I am just SMITTEN with these highlights from last weekend’s party… and I know you will be too!
Cloche Christmas bottles by ElsarBlog
We’ve all heard of a cloche… but here’s how to make the same effect with just a bottle. I think this is absolutely charming, and hope you click to read the descriptions… so pretty!
Table leg candlesticks by RemodelaCasa
Don’t they look like wax?! But they aren’t. Far from it. This project is beautiful AND clever… click the link for all the details!
Christmas countdown advent calendar with a surprise by Homeroad
This adorable advent has a hidden surprise the closer you reach Christmas! Visit the link to see what will be exposed starting… I’d say, December 14th…
Faux felt acorn Christmas wreaths by Pillar Box Blue
Anyone else a felted wool fan? These faux acorns will be right up your alley. Visit post link for amazing instructions!
Small parts organizer advent calendar by Lora B
Most advents more or less help count down Christmas. But THIS advent is super clever because it holds a ton of great gifts, treats, surprises or whatever you wish!
This wonderful tutorial comes with printables available so you can make the same! Click the link for full info.
Farmhouse-style Christmas hot chocolate bar by Lora B
Inspired by another hot cocoa bar that was positively infused with rustic charm, Lora created her own take, and it’s filled with vintage goodies! Click the link to see the new setup!
What did you up-cycle this past week? Link up below!
~ Blah blah linkup rules ~
1. Upcycled, DIY home decor projects only please. Items for sale must be in tutorial form on your blog. NO FOOD NOR NEW CRAFTS please.
2. Linkups must be your own work, not another’s.
3. Only projects new to this link party please, to keep things fresh. Repeats may be deleted.
4. By linking up here, you’re cool with me featuring you on my blog, Pinterest, Twitter, FJI Facebook with a link back to you, or its own new LINK WIDGET with no additional permission required.
5. No need to link back to the party in your posts. I would love it if you shared the first gallery picture instead. Thank-you!
Thank you for featuring my felted acorn wreaths. I look forward to seeing what you have been up to on Sunday night.
Thank you for featuring my Cloche Christmas bottles ☻♥ a great weekend for you ☻
Thank you for hosting the party. Looking forward to seeing the tree skirt you’re working on.
Love love love the features again this week! I’m only sharing one link this week because I’ve been doing more cooking than DIYing. If what I posted doesn’t qualify for the party, I won’t be offended if you delete it. Thanks as always for hosting this fun link party and have a great weekend, Donna!
Thanks for the features this week, Donna! Think the Christmas creative juices finally kicked in; I’m having fun now! Can’t wait till Sunday night;) Thanks always for hosting such amazing creativity!
I witnessed a Christmas miracle… my link beat me here!
Darn tootin’! I run a tight ship here and if I see epic-ness that isn’t here yet (ok, my stencils played a small part) I perform magic with my keyboard wand.
Thanks for linking up by the way. LOL
