Retro Thursday

Since this is my "craft" blog now, I've decided I would take pictures of things that I've made over the years and add them to my blog.  This is a front door "wreath" I made from two straw hats.  The smaller hat is cut in half and glued onto the top of the larger hat. The larger hat is painted all over and I used raffia for hair and arms. The lettering I cut freehand.  The overalls are made from the back side of an old pair of Joe's jeans. This was a fun thing to make.  I think I still have the instructions to make a bunch of these for various things.  It used to hang in my front hall (couldn't use it on my front door, the storm door wouldn't close when it was on there) but now it hangs in my craft/sewing room.
