…a sure sign that Summer is near.  Last weekend, I got a chance to work on decorating my front porch for Summer.

I love pin wheels and found a great tutorial at Miss Mustard Seed to make some.

, Saving 4 Six

Basically, you just cut a square of colorful paper.  I glued two together because I wanted both sides to be the different.

Then just cut from the edge of each corner about halfway in to the center.

I put glue and glitter along the edges but obviously, that is not necessary.

Finally, just hot glue every other cut edge into the center.  Be careful…that glue gun can be brutal!

I topped mine with a star to finish it up and clear coated it so it would hold up outdoors.

Most all of these items for my porch decor were ReStore finds.
Chair – $1
Toolbox – about $3
Double Boiler – Free
Hand planer – $2
Straw Wreath – $.50

Have you gotten your porch decorated for Summer?  I bet it looks amazing!!
Blessings,
, Saving 4 Six
