I really loved getting down and dirty in DH's shed the other day making those wooden buttons. So while the going was good I tried my hand at another task I've had on my 'to do' list for quite some time : : Rusty Tin Cut-Outs.....
Armed with a pile of rusty old corrugated iron from our farms original old homestead and a pair of very sharp well lubricated (this is essential) tin snips I set to work...
I used a nail to scratch out the outline for the ducks before cutting but the stars and hearts were all done free-hand.... 
Next I'm going to have a go at knitting needles and crochet hooks, boy, you could really have fun with this!!! :P
Hugs..... Jodie xx-xx
very cute - I like the ducks and I think tiny rusty stars would make for a very aussie christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteYour rusty cutouts look great Jodie. The stars look perfect. I cant wait to see the knitting needles!
ReplyDeleteWow! They look great! Hope you have your tetnus shots up to date! ;)
ReplyDeleteoh these are fabulous! And I agree the stars and hearts (even small ducks or birds) would make fabulous christmas decos!
ReplyDeleteThe rusty cut outs are brilliant, you must have had lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the ducks and the wooden buttons too. Ive sent DH out on a mission to see what hard wood we might have lying about.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great idea.
I have a mountain of rusty tin up the back of the block. Must do! Great idea. Thank you. Kim :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I especially love the 'pot' the chooks are in!
ReplyDeleteYes...I buy these rusy tin shapes all the time...I should just make them myself...you may have motivated me!
