Too Much time on my hands: Industrial Cross

Tuesday, November 8

I bought a plain Jane wood cross from Hobby Lobby for $1.49 and spruced that baby up.

I spray painted it a glossy black and added a rusty round metal piece I found in the street while taking a walk with the kids.

I twisted silver wire around the entire middle and also used the wire at the top so I can hang it up easily.

I like the super glossy finish paired with that rusty and crusty metal medallion.

Love getting inspiration from trash found in the street:)
