We have some new yard art flying around in the front yard........lol! |
These fun Dragonflies are made from old 4 poster bed posts and ceiling fan blades.... |
I added a lamp shade holder as their antenna and painted the fan blade wings pink. I also added a few touches of white to the body and left the rest the original gold color. |
H hung them from the trees with strong wire...... |
I have one hung from the tree in the far left of the photo and the second one is up in the trees on the right side of the photo...... |
There are tons of yard sales already being advertised in the paper for tomorrow and Saturday....hope to find lots of treasures! |
