I have already professed my love of the hardware store
and how it inspires craft projects...
and occasionally the home improvement project beyond my skill level.
For June's DIY Club, I thought I would celebrate Summer...
and it's bright happy days, full of sunshine and laughter.
{and the occasional "Mom, I'm bored."}
A few Fridays ago, my pal Iris of ArcoIris and Til Death Do Us Art was a Tickled Pink feature and she had these AMAZING earrings. There were totally my inspiration! Thanks Iris!
So, back to my ramblings...
One of my favorite hardware store doodads is the biscuit. I simply adore the shape and versatility of this little goodie. And, finally I have discovered a fat-free biscuit!

So what do you get when you have a cheapo decorator table laying in your garage, a container of plate joining biscuits, and some super fabulous bright summery Patio Paints from DecoArt? Well, I am going to give you a party cocktail table turned hanging medallion.
Supplies
1. 20” Decorator table (from craft store, etc. – The kind with the screw in legs) OR any round table you can find hanging around or at a thrift store. The craft table provides the option of hanging this project on the wall as a medallion.
2. OPTIONAL, but RECOMMENDED: glass topper for table.*****
3. Plate joining biscuits (from hardware store, like Home Depot)
4. Gorilla Glue Wood Glue
5. Wide foam brush (2”)
6. Smaller paint brushes
* Blue Bahama (8oz.)
* Citrus Green (2 oz)
* Azalea (2 oz.)
* Marigold (2 oz.)
* Petunia Purple (2 oz.)
8. Sealer
*****TO USE THIS AS A TABLE, I HIGHLY SUGGEST USING A GLASS TABLE TOPPER TO KEEP ICK, DIRT, AND RANDOM STUFF OUT OF THE CREVICES AND SPACES.*****

See how ugly my table was before...ICK!
Better now, eh?
Guess what?
You can take the legs off and hang it on the wall for a little bit of cheer!
I have another DIY project using biscuits that I will be posting on Tuesday!

Very cute! Bring on the sun!
Oooh! I love this! The colors totally say summer. :) Great job incorporating hardware store finds. I didn't even know what a biscuit was (outside of those fluffy things I try to avoid)!
Blessings,
Sarah
what an amazing project.. Bright colors also..
Have an amazing day..
such a cute table and it looks easy enough that even I could do it without personal injury.
Very cute, the colors you chose go together great.
That is so cute! You love those wood tabs! I saw some at the hardware store the other day and thought of you
So bright and cheerful!
So cute! I just love the fun, bright colors...perfect for summer!
I've been staring at my patio furniture, trying to decide what color to paint it and then I decided to just paint it black and make cushions for it. But what color cushions? I couldn't decide. Now...thanks to you...I'm going bright!
That really is cheery! And really you could do anything with those things...except maybe eat them. ;)
That is so totally cool and I love those bright colors! What a really fun table!
I can't believe I'm actually saying this. But, I am going to make that. I really am. Honestly and truly. LOVE it!!!
I'm a color freak, so I think the cheerfulness of it is awesome. (I hope no one drips salsa in between those little biscuits!)
:) Love this love this! So darling!
I have a table (or 3) that have been waiting for something for a couple of years... but I think this is soooo cute! maybe this is the thing I have been missing!
So great! I love it!
Very pretty. When I first read your title I was thinking food, you know fat free biscuits. The yummy kind. Bummer but only sorta, this is beautiful. Great job Holly.
Take care and God Bless!!
Ok - so this one is totally MINE! (alright, I guess I can't have it!) But, I LOVE it so! Fantastic job, Holly!
Well done. My youngest would love that as the bright colors and circular shape would remind him of Wheel of Forture--one of his big interests these days.
NICE!!! It took me awhile to follow you back from LAST week's TTA. But - here I am, and I think I'm gonna like it here! =)
