Wall Sconces!! I love these!!!!

I love all the projects I do but this one I really really love!  Its part of my holiday decor (pictures to come later!).  I love getting somewhat of a head start on holiday decor!  Anyway enough about that, now to the HOW?
Here are your supplies:  1- 2x6 cut at 24", 1-2x6 cut at 4" and a finial.
You will need something to hang it with, sawtooth hanger or wire and screws.  AND you need something to put on it!  No direction from me there, that's all you!  Unless you want to do the rubber band spray painted vase seen below!

  
 
You will glue the 4" piece approximately 7" up from the bottom.  You can use a nail to start the hole for the finial to make it easier to screw  in later, do that before gluing the piece on....  To do that, just nail the nail in part way, and pull it out.  To make the shelf more secure add two 2" deck screws to the back... 



Dryer Vent WHAT???? Pumpkins -yes in deed!

I know this is stretching it!  (pun intended!)  But seriously look at these pumpkins made from dryer vents!  HOW?




Start here!

Cut approximately 37 "ribs" ( I found that to be the easiest number to work with)

Make a circle....

Hot glue the circle together.  I used clothes pin to hold it together.  The metal may get hot...
