The other day when I was in the attic taking down our Christmas decorations, I found a tobacco stick sled that I made a long time ago. I decided that I would bring it down and spruce it up so that I could display it this Christmas.
I made a lot of these sleds years ago and sold them at craft shows. They were a big seller. I also made chairs out of tobacco sticks and they also sold well at craft shows. I have one chair left and my daughter-in-law has it on her porch. I’ll have to take a picture of it.
To give the sled a new look, I dried brushed it with white paint.
Next, I added some Christmas greens, a red bow and a pair of wooden skates on the front of it.
I think I’m liking the new make-over.
For now, I have it in the entry way but who knows where it will end up.
I almost forgot that I had that sled and I was so excited when I discovered it. Don’t you just love attic treasure finds?
