Hi There! Thanks for stopping by! Won’t you take a minute and like Button Bird Designs on face book? Right over there to the right?! Why thank you! Also sign up to receive these posts by email so you don’t miss out on any trash to treasure projects, easy do it yourself tutorials, or all the fun we are having up in here!!! xoxoxoxo Angela

Ok see that shutter display beside the owl clocks? I used it at an art festival back in June. When I was tearing down my tent, the shutter display fell and bit the dust. It completely broke apart. HOWEVER I saved every single last one of those little wood pieces. Yes, yes I did, because I’m weird like that.

They have been sitting in this bucket in my garage for almost 6 months. Finally the other day it dawned on me what I could use all those pieces for!!

STARS!!!

Lots and lots of stars! Hubby had no chance of parking his car in the gargae this afternoon. Geez it kinda of annoys me in the first place that he thinks garages are for cars. He can be so weird.

Some E6000 glue and some spray paint….

Little bit of sanding….

Little bit of Twine…….

Stars! I sold these at Marketplace this past weekend but I still have some left that I am bringing to the Big Sale!

Will I see you at the Big Sale!?

I bought a blue one at the market and can’t wait to hang it up! Love that it came from a shutter…so smart. And my boys went nuts over the adorable tooth fairy pillow. Love your stuff and it was really nice to get to chat for a bit. I can’t wait to see what you end up doing on the etsy front.

Your sheer ability to think of so many ideas AND then actually make them (in many multiples) amazes and inspires me ; ) I was bummed to miss the sale this past weekend because we were out of town.

What type of glue did you use? I wasn’t sure E6000 glue was ? We found all these wonderful fat short sticks and I thought maybe we could make stars out of them with a little glitter spray for Christmas?? What do you think? Any suggestions

  I used E6000 glue which you can pretty much get anywhere. I usually get mine at walmart or Michaels. I think you can actually also use a glue gun if the wood is thin enough! i would love to see photos when you are done!
  lots of love

  Thanks Kristen!
  Hmmmmmmmm not sure i am going to be able to list anything on ebay before the sale. With the Marketplace sale last week and then the big sale this week I am way behind. Not sure if Nester is or not. She said she was but I think she is in the same boat as me! I will let you know if we decide we have time to do it this week!
  lots of love
