A couple of months ago, I had to find a summer door hanger for our Relief Society activity (that is actually tonight). I had no idea where to start, but a couple of people on our committee said to go to the The Wood Connection for an idea. So I did. I found this adorable Watermelon Door Hanger.
Little did I know that I could buy all the paint there, and probably get some instructions on how to paint it and put it together, but instead I decided to figure it out myself. I think it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.
I did learn one very important lesson...one that I had forgotten. Gorilla Glue expands! After I glued the sunflower together, and the next morning when it was raised about 1/4" I about had a melt down! Lucky for me I have great parents with a scroll saw that easily cut out two new pieces! Once my hubby got home (he had been out camping that weekend) he asked why I didn't just use wood glue. There's a difference? I suppose now I know the sad truth!
