DIY Knock-off Bookends Tutorial

This past weekend my little sister called me up and said she wanted to come over and hang with me on Saturday, maybe hit up some yard sales.  We found some AWESOME things.  One of the things we found were unfinished wood crafts for 10 cents each!  I picked up a few stars even though I didn't have anything in mind for them.

My sister is moving to a new house next week and was looking for items to decorate it and furniture pieces for storage.  When we got home she was telling me some of her decorating plans.  She showed my a picture of these Star Bookends on her phone





I told her "We could make you some similar to that out of wood....Hey we could use some of the stars I got today.  Let's go make some!"

I had a bunch of scrap pieces of 2x6's.  I cut them to the dimensions we wanted them.

I put wood glue on the adjoining seam.

And then attached them with a nail gun.

I put wood glue on the points of the star, and then attached it with a brad nailer.

I couldn't think of a good way besides this.  I angled the nail just about as straight as I could.  Since a little poked out.  I did them all from them same side, so that could be the back.  I made sure to do them on the opposite side of the other one.

Then I wiped off any extra glue.
And it was done! Ready for paint!

I painted them with the same Hesston Equipment paint that I used on my Front Entry Gate.

All done!  Cost me 20 cents.  And some scraps and paint I already had sitting around.  And they probably took me 20 minutes to make! 

I LOVE  a good Knock-off!

DIY Porch Shelf

A few months ago my mother-in-law asked me to help her sell a few items.  One of them was this planter shelf her father made for her years ago.  I posted it on my facebook page and had quite a few people who wanted it.  After selling it to the first one to ask I offered that I could custom build a similar one for others who were interested.
