Hey friends!
I hope you all had a great weekend.
I'm in the Red and White Summer Stripe mood.
So, I've had this iron hook
that holds a candle or jar
and I've been waiting for just the right place
to hang it.
I'm on a roll decorating with water skis.
I have painted some for Photo Holders.
Today, I'm using one
to mount my iron hook.
I used Holiday Red and Engine Red
for the stripes.
Then, a fine charcoal line on the edges of the stripes.
Sand all outside edges
and rub black paint along the sanded edge.
Mount the iron hook.
Attach a D Ring on the back.
It's really a quick and fun project.
I know you can buy iron hooks like these
in retail shops or you could use
a metal plant hanger.
You could also hang a small lantern on the hook.
Or , what about a star ornament.
And, you know what -
you don't even need to use a water ski.
You could get a similar look
with just a long piece of fence board
painted with stripes.
Are you thinking
about where you can
put a graphic stripe pattern
in your home?
My favorite pattern!
Have a great week,
Deb

That ski jar lantern is just too fun. I would have to do that in a heartbeat if I had a lake home!
I love it!! And I love the photo holders too! So cute!
This is such a creative idea for both the photos and the mason jar candle holder. You did a beautiful job and they look great on the wall.

Really love the ski with lantern on hook. I have couple sconce hooks so might just have to use them as you did. I could have hubs cut a board to resemble a water ski I guess. Love the red and white stripes. Yours looks so nice and love the skis with the pictures on them. Great ideas, glad you shared these. Found your post thru Make the scene Monday. I'm already subscribed to your blog. Happy summer
Really, just a long fenceboard would be good or several short boards laying horizontal but in a long narrow form....doesn't need to be a waterski. Or, what about an oar? just brainstorming.
A long fence board would work - but the waterski is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
Love it!
XOXOXO
I love the color, it reminds me of Dr. Seuss, but the mason jar adds the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing!
Love this Deb! I am pinning this one!
Super cute and original! Is there anything prettier than red and blue together? I think not :)
Such a great idea, I will have to remember this one for our cottage. I have an old water ski poster that would look nice in the same room.
Hi Deb! This is such a creative and striking idea!!!! You think of the most inspiring things!
Love it Deb! I have two old wooden water skis in the garage and have been trying to decide what to do with it- I love the stripes!,
Oh my word, I love this idea. How fun and so creative. Thanks tons for joining Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
I love your ideas, Deb. So clever! And fresh... so outside the box. The next time I go thrifting, I'll try to keep you in my head. (=

Have a good one!
What a cool idea! Perfect decor for a house on the lake - or for that type of theme! Beautifully done. I am delighted that you shared with Home and Garden Thursday,
Kathy
Visiting from Better After....I LOVE this! Wish I had a lake cabin. We have a boat though...hee hee! :-)
Here from Better After. Love it... love the hook too. I'm going to have to google it.
I googled... but didn't see the hooks. Do you know what they're called? thx
I see a hanging candle caddy that is similar at masonjarshoppe.com.
It is called a quart jar caddy. Then you could find a wall mounted hook to go with.
Hope you can find something that works! You could always just use a hook and hang a mason jar that has a wire wrapped basket handle.
Deb, this is awesome. I'm a big fan of red!
This looks awesome! It's featured today on the DIY Sunday Showcase!
Well isn't that clever? Are they old skis you used to use? Or do you find them in thrift shops? I love the three of them together. That's a great idea to hang the lantern from it. Your mind is obviously always churning away, thinking of more things to paint! :) I also loved the way you used the skis with the pictures on them. That's one of (many of) my favorite posts of yours. Another job well done Deb!

I love your water ski mason jar holder! I grew up water skiing and still go every chance I get, I would love to decorate with them. I love it!
