The Case of Missing Decorations....

It never fails that after Christmas, I misplace some of my year-round decor. My suspicion is the missing box is in the midst of all the Christmas boxes stored away until next year. This year, I misplaced a box of items from my dining room. I had to find a solution for the blank wall above my fireplace mantel. I decided to make an Ohio Star wall hanging. I went to Lowes and purchased square pieces of pre-cut plywood. I drew out my pattern so that when all 4 pieces were hung together the star would appear. I painted my "puzzle pieces" with several coats of acrylic paint. I then used a glaze to age the look.

I think it looks great!
