Last week I posted that I was looking for new craft projects to keep me occupied during the colder weather. When UHM and I were out tasting apple cider and buying apples last week, we also stopped by one of our favorite antique stores, The Covesville Store. Like most 'antique' stores, it's a mish-mash of nicer, truly antique pieces mixed in with thrift-store-type items that aren't really worth all that much. While I was poking around in the store I found a box full of "vintage" cookie cutters and had an idea. I bought several of them and today got around to trying out my idea. Below is a picture of the result.
What do you all think? It's a cross between a wind chime and a mobile. If you saw it at a craft fair, would you buy it? What would you pay for it? Any suggestions on sprucing it up a bit? I have some other ideas for something similar but need to spend more time on the mechanics. Let me know what you think though.

I think it is adorable! Perhaps adding some glass beads were the wire meets the cookie cutter to give it some color. No idea about cost though.
ReplyDeleteI love old cookie cutters (but no one gets to see them because they're piled up in a bowl - well, other than the few that were converted into Christmas ornaments). That's really cute - it's making me think of baby nurseries (was that your intent?). They'd look even more baby room-friendly with some (shabby chic) pastel colored paints.
