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!

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”)

*****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!
