Wishing Well & Wheelbarrow Craft

Okay so maybe I am borderline obsessed with wood projects... 

I just really like to build things...

doesn't everyone? ;)

Building a little wishing well and wheelbarrow for my living room decor has been on my list for a while... probably a year or so... 

...and I finally got them done!

These were fun easy projects that didn't take long once I got started. They aren't very big... the whishing well is about 6 inches tall, and the wheelbarrow is about 6 inches long. So not very big but the perfect size for my crate shelves.

The wishing well is cut out of 1/2inch square dowls... with the supports being popsicle sticks. The little tin roof is one of my favorite parts of the wishing well (I bought it at Dollar Tree in the craft section and cut it down to fit) 

The wheelbarrow is made from a mini crate from Dollar Tree, 

1/2inch square dowls 

and a little wood circle I had in my craft drawer. 

With this project I was also able to try out a new stain color... and I think I'm in love!!!

I've found my new favorite stain color!

I've had this stain for a while waiting to try it out 

but unsure about using it on a large project 

just in case I didn't like it... but I should've used it sooner.

Anyway... I love how both of these beauties turned out!

And I love my new favorite stain!

Happy crafting!!!
