This little tart pan and wooden goblet were recent thrift shop finds.
This metal pig was a Christmas tree ornament from Hobby Lobby in 2019.
I removed the jute from the hooks on back and drilled a small hole in the top back of the pig.
My aunt gave me several packages of wooden bead in several sizes. I used 1/2" and 1" for the projects I am sharing.

After a quick wash down of the tart tin and wooden goblet, the tart pan was screwed into the bottom stem of the goblet. The goblet is upside down.
I painted my creation with Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Farmhouse Green.
I rubbed on one of my IOD Prima Marketing Transfers - French Pots.
I cut this small transfer off of the larger sheet, and centered it on the goblet, removed the white backing paper, and rubbed the transfer on with the rectangular wooden stick.
I waxed the paint and transfer with Dixie Belle's Best Dang Wax in Clear.
I cut a length of jute twine and tied a small Metal Typed Tokens by Tim Holtz Idea-ology
on to one end. I purchased this package of word tokens several years ago, and still find uses for them.
on to one end. I purchased this package of word tokens several years ago, and still find uses for them.
I taped the short end to the long string, and strung the smaller wooden beads (1/2") onto the jute. Tape is a necessity to string the jute through the beads.
When I thought my string of beads was long enough to wrap around the goblet, I cut it off, and tied another metal word token on the other end.
My tart tin/wood goblet creation easily holds a spring bird's nest.
Have you made any unfinished wood bead garlands yet?
There are lots of cool bead garland ideas on Pinterest.
I think I like my display piece best with flowers in the tart tin.
One of a kind farmhouse style spring decor!
For the other project, I tied a knot in one end of jute in the back of the pig. I then added two 1/2" beads.
I continued the garland with 1" beads. When I thought my garland was long enough, I tucked the other end of the jute through the two small beads.
I put tape on the jute to make it easier to thread and also poked it through with a toothpick.
I tied the two ends in a knot in the back of the pig.
I found this wider mouth jar at the thrift shop recently. I filled it with vintage, metal kitchen wares.
I added the cover and the piece of jar jewelry I had just made.
I think it's a fun addition to farmhouse kitchen decor!

Very cute, I love the wooden beads but not easy to get around our town. I found some the other day in our budget store only to get home and put my glasses on to find they were wooden moth balls. Lol pinned.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this project so many neat details and that farmhouse green is one of my favorite colors. I've used it a lot - a welcoming color for spring.
