Fun And Simple DIY Crafts To Try In Your Spare Time

Start this project with a long nature walk to search for the perfect branch! Your branch should have lots of little branches and look like a miniature tree. The stick I used is about 18 inches tall, but it can be what ever size you like. A dead branch is best for this project since the wood is already dry and the tree it came from no longer needs it. You will need: A branch A small tray or soap dish Plaster of Paris Paper wrapped wire (4-6 yards) Wire Clippers A wooden ring (the lid from a soda bottle would also work) Gold acrylic paint and a brush OR spray paint Hot glue gun To remove any moisture from my branch (and any unseen critters living inside) I put it in my oven at 200 degrees for ten minutes. Using your wire clippers, trim about ½ inch of bark from the base of your branch. Glue the base into the wooden ring or soda cap. Removing bark will allow the glue to form a strong bond. The ring will give your jewelry tree extra support and prevent the plaster from crumbling around the base. Decide where the branch should be “rooted” in the tray. If the branch leans to one side, consider having it rooted slightly to the left or right rather than in the center of the tray. When you are happy with the placement, hot glue the base of your branch to the tray. If your tray is made of plastic or has a shiny coating, use sandpaper to add texture to the surface. This will help the plaster and paint to stick. Follow directions on the box to make the plaster. For easy clean up, I made plaster in a plastic bag and mixed it by squishing the bag with my hands. After pouring the plaster into the tray I tossed the bag in the trash. While the plaster hardens, make your nest. Cut the paper wrapped wire into sections (about twelve inches long) and twist into a bird nest shape. Start by bending and wrapping the wire into a 1 ½ inch flat circular shape for the bottom of the nest, adding sections as you need to. No pattern is necessary: with irregular twisting and wrapping, the nest you create will look organic and natural. Bend and weave the wire together around the bottom randomly to form a bowl shape with a 2 ½ inch diameter. When you are happy with the nest, find a home for it in your tree. Pick a spot close to the center where the weight of a nest full of rings can be supported well. Use hot glue to attach it. Take the wire clippers and remove any broken or unwanted small twigs from the branch. Spray paint is the fastest and most efficient way to add color, but you will most likely need several coats. If you use acrylic, I recommend starting at the middle of the tree and working your way out. This way, you can avoid paint covered branches catching your sleeves as you paint. You could also add clear coat for extra shine. Once the paint is dry, your tree is finished! Because the tree is made from delicate wood, avoid hanging very heavy objects from its branches.

The Three Speckled Hens "Vendor Spotlight" blog series continues this week as we ramp up for a fantastic May 2 &3 2015 show in Paso Robles! Today we get to share with you the wonderful story of Sherri Spear of A Junker's Journal. Sherri is a genius when it comes to transforming what some may see as simple "junk" into beautiful treasures such as jewelry, lamps, furniture, and more. You can follow Sherri on Instagram at #ajunkersjournal, on Facebook, or shop for her treasures on Etsy. When did you first become interested in antiques and junking? When I was a little girl I'd pretend I had shop where I sold things I loved. I also always dreamed of having my own home that I could decorate just the way I wanted it. Fast- forward a few years when I lived on my own for the first time... I had big ideas and a tiny budget. I shopped flea markets and garage sales, often needing to rewire lamps and refinish furniture. I brushed up on my sewing skills and made all my own soft furnishings. It's hard to believe I've been at this for over 30 years! It started with projects for myself, family and friends...wish I had photos of some of my earlier transformations, like the homebuilt farm truck bunk bed that I bought from a friend and transformed into a tug boat for my son's room. How did you learn the "tricks of the trade"? About 15 years ago my husband, son, and I moved to Paso Robles. I was fortunate to be able to stay home and follow all the professional tradesmen around our house while it was being remodeled. In exchange for being a "laborer" I was able to learn so many new skills. That experience made me realize there isn't anything I can't do if I put my mind to it. Watching the transformation of our home made me realize that everything is worth saving and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I decided then to try to see the beauty in every "thing." My first project after the house remodel was a chair that my contractor had in the back of his truck to take to the dump. I just couldn't let him do it. As far as I know, that refinished rocking chair with its one-of-a-kind upholstery patchwork cushions still sits by the fireplace at Hollyhock Farms B&B. I do what I do now because I love the idea that I saved something that was headed to the dump, transformed it, and now it gets to have a new life in someone's home. How have you honed your creative style over the years? I think the older I get the more I'm able to let go and just be creative. I have so many different things that I like to do but I would have to say that I'm currently into transforming things. I love to take things apart so although working with "junk" is not at all glamorous and comes with certain challenges, I like the fact that I've learned so much about how things go together just by deconstructing them. I like making "things" (like jewelry trees) out of lamps and other recycled materials, and lamps out of "things" (like shoe lasts and fire hose nozzles). I've always loved puzzles so I like taking things apart and rebuilding something completely different, like this antique organ keyboard table, or the screen door displays in my booth. Years ago, I made lots of decorative pillows that I would like to think of as "functional art" and still like to sew from time to time. And then there's jewelry. I took a jewelry making class in high school and a few years ago decided to get back into making jewelry that I would like to wear and now have made enough pieces to share. Like I said, I dreamed of having my own little shop where I sold things I loved. So, Thank You Three Speckled Hens for letting me set up my little shop twice a year right here at home!
