Danielle from Mostly Food and Crafts made a great picture/recipe holder that gave me an idea....Light Bulb! We are always looking for great gift ideas for our school administrators for the holidays and I thought these would be great! I went about buying the items needed to make them (They were dirt cheap, by the way! It only cost about $38 to make 6 of them.) When I got home with the stuff, Bill, my husband, said that he would go ahead and make them for me. I was originally thinking that I would ask him really nicely anyway, but this time I didn't even have to ask.
He began working on them and before long, he had them finished. He did a few things differently than Danielle. He used dowel rods instead of just glue. So, he did have to use some power tools, which he thoroughly enjoys. Ronin even got in on the building action (Ronin's "power drill" above as proof).
Here is what they looked like once Bill was almost finished.
He glued on the mini clothes pins and I spray painted them to add some character. Here is what they looked like once they were dressed up as a gift. I think they turned out pretty good! Thanks for the idea, Danielle!
