SNS 84 reveals our homemade toolboxes!



Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #84

Theme - your homemade toolboxes






If you're new here, join in! There are three categories to link to. Home Decor as well as Crafts, Sewing, Recipes, plus the 3rd themed link up which stays open indefinitely. Check below for this weekend's theme.

Party starts Fri night and ends Sunday 11pm pacific, so you have all weekend to join!

I'll be featuring SNS highlights during the weekend on FJI Facebook, so join in and see what they're all saying about your stuff. :)

This weekend's theme:

~ homemade toolboxes ~


What do you get when you team up:

an authentic picket board, a white scrap board and a woodsy board all the same depth alongside the most crooked wiggly branch ever?









You get an instant soiless freshly cut wild flower garden in your very own picket toolbox that can be changed on a whim!


A wiggly branch winds over, below and around bright petals as if it's color giddy.


Authentic white shabby pickets adorn each end, ringing in a hot summer's day theme.

The board cuts were left in their woodsy tone to chime in with the branch handle, creating more of a 2 tone effect. I screwed this one together rather than use nails because, quite frankly, it was quicker! :) I put this thing together in about 10 minutes.


The flowers, held in 3 cups filled with water, were arranged in a color blocking method for the most punch. Then fiddle as desired. That's it!

BIG impact for one little space! 

 
My 'junk toolbox' reveal shows a complete tutorial that simulates both builds HERE.


For the entire Toolbox Workshop:

Part 1 - inspiration


A mini toolbox to entice you was HERE


Julie, thanks for the enticement to give building toolboxes a whirl! 
I'm not sure I can stop now. :)


If you like woodworking, you'll love watching Julie work her magic. She just made the cutest cupboard with a shutter door. Check it out HERE.

Link up your own homemade or purchased toolboxes in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

4. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and/or within 1 month old. Repeat linkups will be removed.
