Halloween Decorations From 2Xs
For Halloween a Pumpkin, Frankenstein and Ghost made from 2x4s & 2×6. I had the wood and luckily the right colors of paint on hand so I didn’t have to buy a thing. My Mother made the table runner.

Jar Lid Snowman
I made this snowman from jar lids, twigs, buttons, scrap material for scarf, sock for the hat and push pin nose. I punched holes in the lids and bolted them together.
Holiday Decorations From Bicycle Parts
The snowman I made from sprockets and spokes. The sprockets I welded together then painted. The spoke arms are just hot-glued on. I wrapped him in a ribbon scarf and stuck him in a piece of painted door trim. The hat is 2 pieces of scrap wood painted with a slot cut in the bottom.
This star was harder than it looked. I wrestled with it quite a bit to get the shape. I used a chain tool to offset the pins to hold its shape.
