DIY Dragonfly Goodness

Since I don't have access to my pictures, I thought I would show you a cute project I found on Pinterest. Using old table legs, or some type of baulister, and a few different recycled odds and ends, you can create some super cute wall art to be used inside or out...whatever tickles your fancy.

Go ahead, have a looksy -

Used baulisters - can you see the potential?

 
What better item to use for wings than an old fan blade?

Need some eyes and antennae? How about some metal pieces, brass knobs and some old hooks.

A cool painting technique: thinned paint and a fingertip.

Bottom of a chair to give the dragonfly a little detail.

Some molding for a litte extra detail.

Tada...the finished project.

Cute, no?

Do you have any "treasures" sitting around your house that you can use to make cool projects? Do you have any DIY projects planned in the near future?
