Kristen from Lipstick and Sawdust has turned her skill for reusing and repurposing into something that benefits more than just her family. “This project was created for my child’s school auction. I cut hundreds of slices from different fallen tree branches found in my driveway and on the side of the road in my area,” she explains.
After getting quite a few wood slices in a variety of sizes, Kristen purchased a large mirror. She removed the ugly frame from around it, and made a new one from stained plywood. Next, she glued the slices onto the plywood. For an extra special touch, Kristen had children from the elementary school sketch designs for their own brands. She selected a few to burn onto some of the wood slices. The result is gorgeous, and I bet it will make a ton of money at that auction!
