Prairie Scraps

There is really nothing better than a good use for something that was headed to the trash!  Recently, we went though our boots to check for any that weren’t working or fitting.  Two pairs had holes and couldn’t be used, so I saved them from their demise!  Aren’t these floral boots adorable on the front steps?  The other pair I have are black, so I have different plans for those!   I added some extra sedums that are overtaking my flower beds to turn these trash to treasures! I’d love to hear what you think?  This was so satisfying to put together a little decoration.

This is my National Upcycle day project.  I found this sign at the Deseret Industries thrift store in Idaho Falls when we went shopping with my son at ccollege.  It was $1.50!  I figured with wood prices right now, I couldn’t go wrong! Here’s the sign before I up cycled it!  It was cutout card stock that was modpodged to the board.  It was really stuck on.  I used a palm sander with quite a bit of pressure to get it to come off.  There was a gummy residue that had to go too!
