So this year I decided to bring the dream of covering my property in wind chimes/spinners, to life. Simple I know, but anything to brighten the dark, right?

I found this wooden wind spinner at work, on clearance of course..

I had a vision for this thing, and it actually came out exactly as I wanted.. how often does that happen?

So I took it apart, got out my cheap watery acrylics (to really stain this sucker) and got to painting.

Putting it back together and slathering it in Mod Podge was super satisfying.

I covered each block with a coat of satin dishwasher safe mod podge, then after assembled and positioned another 2 coats over the whole thing.

Just a note: this is a really roughly cut and cheap project, I really should have sanded each piece.. but I did not and I can tell, however, you can’t see it from the road 👍 and the colors are delicious 🤤 so who cares?

Go make one!!

Note to self:

I probably should be posting everything here instead of just dropping a photo here and there on Instagram. Seeing the stuff I made reminds me that I’m not a complete failure at life.. and occasionally inspires others, bonus! I’ll try harder, I promise. Maybe.
