I know that Summer hasn't started yet and that Spring is still here but that doesn't mean that you can't get ready for it. I decided to make something that could be used inside but that could be placed outside when entertaining.
Supplies Needed for this Project:
Proxxon Drill
Proxxon Jigsaw
Screws
Vases
Glass marbles
Artificial flowers
Plaid Chalk Paint
Brush
Proxxon Jigsaw
Screws
Vases
Glass marbles
Artificial flowers
Plaid Chalk Paint
Brush
Once you have gathered your materials, start by cutting out all of your pieces. Use your Proxxon Band Saw and cut out the top piece that is 18" X 2 1/2", a bottom piece that is 18" X 3", two side pieces that are 10" tall and 3" wide at the bottom X tapered to 2 1/2" at the top.
Mark the circles that your vases will go in evenly across the top of the board and cut them out with the Proxxon Jigsaw .
This is a before picture.
I used the Proxxon Belt Sander to smooth out all of the rough edges.
Use your Proxxon Drill to make pilot holes in your wood. Use your Plaid Chalk Paint to paint your pieces and once that is dry, then screw all of your pieces together. You must put your vases into the holder prior to assembly as they can't be removed once the piece is put together.
Add your glass marbles and artificial flowers to make your piece turn out like this! A beautiful piece that will last forever.
